The Veterans Crisis Line has a new easy to remember number - If you’re a Veteran having thoughts of suicide or concerned about one, reach 24/7 crisis support through the new Veterans Crisis Line (VCL) number: Dial 988, then Press 1.

This shorter, three-digit number provides an easier-to-remember way to access the VCL. We’re working to make sure all Veterans and their supporters know about the new number.

  The MK9s Service Dog Solution – MK9s seeks to provide highly trained service dogs tailored to meet specific veteran needs at no cost to the qualified and deserving veteran.  Costs are kept to a minimum by a dedicated all volunteer force who raise and train the puppies for free.  Costs are therefore limited to purchasing the puppies, feeding and veterinary care during the training period. 

  The CJ3 Foundation provides services, support, and advocacy to United States Military Service Members, Veterans/Disabled Veterans, Law Enforcement, Fire, and Emergency/First Responders who need/require assistance, and then connects them with resources and programs designed to meet their unique set of needs. The CJ3 Foundation assists them in finding both the means and opportunities to holistically improve their life outlook and reconnect with the communities they selflessly chose to serve. The CJ3 Foundation achieves this goal through a combination of advocacy for supported individuals and those specialty organizations best suited to assist these individuals, and lobbying efforts that advocate for the creation of legislation to better assist these individuals. 

  Veterans Moving Forward’s services are available to any veteran of any generation, who served honorably, has physical and/or mental challenges resulting from military operations and/or accident or disease experienced during or subsequent to military service, lives in the continental United States, Hawaii or Alaska, and can benefit from a service dog.

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, there are over 18.2 million veterans aged 65 and above, many of whom require long-term care. Unfortunately, navigating the intricacies of available benefits can be daunting, particularly for retired veterans in their elderly years. To address this issue and assist senior veterans and their families, we have created a comprehensive guide that explains various VA benefits, focusing on those applicable to seniors. This guide offers valuable insights into utilizing VA benefits to meet long-term care needs. It outlines eligibility requirements and provides a step-by-step application process to determine available options for financing their healthcare needs.

Veterans in Loudoun County who are disabled, or 65 yrs. or older are eligible for FREE round trip taxi rides to and from healthcare appointments, including those at distant Veteran Administration Medical facilities. The program is administered by the Northern Virginia Veterans Association.  This is ONLY for Veterans and does not extend to other family members.
