Galesburg VSO Open House June 4th

Veterans, their families and survivors of fallen service members are invited to an open house next week at the Veteran Service office in Galesburg.


The office, at 362 North Linwood Road, houses two of the state's 73 Veteran Service Officers who offer help to veterans and their families in applying for and receiving compensation and benefits from the federal V-A and the state.


Veteran Service Offices serve as sign-up locations and informational hubs for the state's programs and benefits, including the "Illinois Warrior Assistance Program," the first program in the nation of its kind that provides 24-hour, toll-free assistance to veterans with the symptoms associated with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder---and offers Traumatic Brain Injury screenings for all Illinois veterans.


The open house at the Galesburg VSO is scheduled for Wednesday between 10 a-m and 2 p-m.
