Resources
When you Google the word “Veteran”, you will get over 293,000 results in less than 2 seconds. How do you know where to begin???
Many well-known websites – including local, state and federal Veteran Affairs offices and national veteran’s organizations – are completely legitimate and looking out for your best interests. As you scroll further down, it is not quite as clear. Unfortunately, there are many individuals that try to take advantage of veterans. For that reason, we have provided several links below to local and national organizations that we have fully investigated and know to be trusted organizations providing valuable services and/or resources for veterans.
Are you part of or do know of an organization that supporting veterans and their families? Please contact us to request to be added to the list below. We will only add links to organizations after we have done our homework, so it may take a little time.

Another area that VLSN gets calls on but rarely has the time to address are family support issues. We will have this site on our resources page as well but this self help page can help get veterans and their families started on self help for many family related issues like child support and visitation.
