鈥淥n Veterans Day, we honor and express our profound gratitude to the millions who have served in the armed services of this nation. We salute their heroism and thank them for their service. Their bravery keeps alive the values of our Founding Fathers.
We must also support veterans in their many challenges, including legal needs. 快猫视频-funded legal aid providers are gateways for veterans in need of civil legal assistance with issues such as benefits, housing, domestic and family matters, and employment.
In 2010, 快猫视频 launched , the first national website that focuses exclusively on federal legal rights and legal resources important to veterans. This free service is devoted to helping military families and veterans access a wide array of legal information and assistance. 快猫视频 has also developed a veterans legal aid awareness campaign with the Veterans Affairs Department鈥檚 Readjustment Counseling Service, and supported a myriad of our grantees鈥 special programs that increase access to civil legal resources, health clinics, housing opportunities, and more. 快猫视频 has also partnered with the American Bar Association and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to unveil a pilot program that helps reduce the current backlog facing veterans seeking disability benefits.
快猫视频 remains committed to serving veterans. By working to protect the legal rights of the men and women in uniform who have sacrificed for our nation, we are ensuring that their service is not forgotten.
Please join us today in recognizing the contributions and sacrifices of our veterans and our military.鈥
