Green Beret Resource List:

Assistance with VA Services

By Jim Cragg

Editor’s note: Chapter 78 member Jim Cragg, who also heads his American Legion Post, has provided us with a list of resources available to Green Berets, both active and veteran, to assist them with their VA .

For guys still on active duty, they go to the Care Coalition to get their packets handled before ETS.

The VA provides their own Veterans Service Organization (VSO) program.

I didn’t list the Veteran Service Officers provided by the clubs like American Legion, AMVETs, DAV and VFW, but they have served me well at the Legion personally.

I think it’s really important that guys know there are services to up their disability rating, and that once they get permanent P&T, that they still need to go to the VA to show they are having ongoing treatment or they can be reviewed and reduced.
