Veterans Advocate
Point of Contact: Lawrence Rhone - Member of the National Organization of Veterans’ Advocates, Inc.
​
​
A Warrior’s transition from the battlefield/active military is not an easy task. Each Warrior experiences a degree of loss of self-worth (rank), loss of sense-of-purpose (occupational specialty), loss of community (unit). A brother or sister in arms experiencing the mere sense of still being alive can be an overwhelming challenge as well. Are you a Veteran? Do you have a Veteran in your family? Every Veteran coming out of the Armed Forces needs to know the process that is required to access programs. Meet with your Veteran’s Advocate for assistance and a clearer understanding of the processes.
