Annual Report Form
- Each year, The National Commander goes before Congress to show support we have given to our Veterans and their family members. The only way they can show the full extent of our involvement is from our members reporting what they have done throughout the year in the areas of Americanism and Children and Youth activities. We encourage you to download the form, fill it out monthly and send it to the Post for consolidation. If you're not certain it fits, put it on there anyway. We can help evaluate the activity.

Useful Web Sites for Veterans
- Attached 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.
