Ending Veteran Homelessness
For VA, even one Veteran without safe and stable housing is one too many. During the holiday season, get in touch with your local Veterans Service Organization to see how you can help homeless Vets.

Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans
In April 2008, the Secretary of U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs established the Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans. The purpose of the Advisory Committee is to provide advice to the Secretary on the full spectrum of health care and benefits issues that confront Veterans who served in the Southwest Asia theater of operations during the 1990-1991 period of the Gulf War. To carry out these duties, the Committee is expected to assess both the effectiveness of existing benefits and services and to determine the need for new initiatives and/or policies that relate exclusively to this population of Veterans.
