What is a VRA?
A VRA can assist veterans by addressing questions, problems, or special needs of veterans and family members and refer them to the appropriate entity for resolution.
GLVFA temporarily does not have our VRA position filled. Until such time that the position is filled, please see below for further assistance.
For immediate assistance, please contact:
Local veteran organizations in the area are also good resources to consult with, such as the DAV, VFW, American Legion, and Marine Corps league.
Additionally, if assistance involves veterans' disability benefits or veterans services, contacting the local Hernando County Veterans Services office is another good option.
