veteran service organization
A veteran service organization (VSO) is a nonprofit group dedicated to helping military veterans and their families access benefits, support, and resources. They provide assistance with navigating government programs, filing claims for disability or pensions, and offering advocacy and peer support. VSOs often work closely with organizations like the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), or DAV (Disabled American Veterans). Their goal is to ensure service members and veterans receive the recognition, care, and benefits they have earned through their service to the country.
