The
American GI Forum of California has always been interested and
involved in Veterans’ well being. The
returning soldier and his/her adjustment to civilian life was
at the forefront when the AGIF came into existence many years
ago and continues to be a top concern for chapters across this
state. To that end, AGIF Veterans Outreach efforts throughout
California are geared to provide help and identify resources
where the returning veteran can obtain the help needed.
There
are many agencies, organizations and local resources that a
veteran can use to get help. Agencies like the Vet Centers,
spread throughout the United States, were setup specifically
to help the returning veteran with counseling and other
services. The state’s Veterans Service Officers are there to
assist the veterans with the processing of disability and
other service related claims. The Veterans Administration is a
complex and often difficult system to navigate, and that is
where we can sometimes be the veteran’s best resource.
Service organizations such as the American Legion, Veterans of
Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans etc. are there to
also provide guidance and assistance. We in the American GI
Forum of California gladly guide veterans through all of these
resources such that any veteran needing assistance will find
the help that he and his family needs. Below please find a
short listing of the many places to seek help and also stop by
your local AGIF Chapter.
