Certain situations cause us to want to ensure that organizations
are blessing the veterans’ lives and not targeting them.
• Your father, conservative World War II Veteran, is approached by
an organization that wants to ‘help’ him…
• What would you want to know before allowing that organization
access into his life?
• What questions would you
want to ask before letting any
organization get personally
involved in the life of your
family member… or friend?
• FEDERAL (VBA, DOD, OneSource)
• STATE (TVC, TVLB, DSHS, TWC)
• LOCAL (USO, VFW, Non Profits)
