Veteran Information from Jim Alvarez (GMG1,
69-70)
Jim Alvarez is a VFW
Post Commander (Hemet, CA) as well as a
VFW State Field Officer in California. His particular interest is Vietnam
era vets’ exposure to Agent Orange and the difficulty in getting VA
disability benefits for related illnesses.
We feel that the
information Jim sends is important enough to create a separate page. Please click here and check back often for
updates.

Veterans
Benefits Links
Below
are web-sites that provide information on Veterans benefits and how to
file/ask for them. Accordingly, there are many sites that explain how to
obtain books, military/medical records, information and how to appeal a
denied claim with the VA. Please pass this information on to every
Veteran you know. Nearly 100% of this information is free and available
for all veterans, the only catch is: you have to ask for it, because they
won't tell you about a specific benefit unless you ask for it. You need
to know what questions to ask so the right doors open for you -- and then
be ready to have an advocate who is willing to work with and for you,
stay in the process, and press for your rights and your best interests.
