Empowering Virginia’s Veterans:
Honoring Service, Building Futures!
Virginia is home to nearly 700,000 veterans.
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, approximately 700,000 veterans call Virginia home. They’ve served in every conflict since World War II, represent all branches of the military, and come from all walks of life.
Government resources alone cannot fully meet the needs of Virginia veterans. That’s why supporting the Virginia Veterans Services Foundation is so important. Your contribution will lend a helping hand to veterans in need and honor all veterans for their service and sacrifice.
