Dear Neighbor,
The Anderson family would like to express its deepest appreciation to all the men and women of America’s armed forces as we approach Veterans Day this Monday. The freedoms we enjoy in this great country are only possible because of the selfless service you provide.
We have seen an influx of veterans returning home from duty in recent years. Here is some information regarding resources available to assist men and women who have served our nation:
-
MDVA: The Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs provides assistance to veterans and their families on a number of levels. The MDVA website has information on everything from state and federal benefits, to higher education opportunities, memorials and burials, claims, LinkVet support, long-term care and more. Those without access to a computer can learn more by calling the MDVA’s LinkVet line at (888) 546-5838.
-
E-mail Newsletters: The MDVA also issues e-mail newsletters free of charge to keep people informed of veterans issues in Minnesota. Click here to sign up to receive updates.
-
Eagle’s Healing Nest: The Eagle’s Healing Nest in Sauk Centre is a non-profit organization that provides a variety of services for veterans, from reintegration to helping heal the “invisible wounds” of war. Visit the group’s website or call the 24-hour hotline (320) 351-6200 for details.
Please join me and my family in thanking our extraordinary service members for all they do.
Sincerely,
Paul
