Veteran Success Stories

Read about the difference a Veterans Services Officer (VSO) can make for Veterans.

I don't know what my husband and I would have done without the care and assistance from the VSO's at the Wyoming Military Department. They made our experience with filing for VA benefits unbelievably easy and stress free. We both could not have been happier. Thank you for all that you do!

As a Veteran of 35 years I came to my Veterans Services Officer with more than a few questions about the VA medical process. My VSO, a veteran herself, has been a tremendous advocate for me. She continues to be a valuable source of information for me.

My disability claim was a very challenging and extensive claim. However my VSO’s patience, kindness, knowledge and support was a tremendous help to me. My Veterans Services Officer went above and beyond what I thought a VSO could do to help me.
