Remember to Support Our Troops
by Amy Simmons, Veterans Service Officer, Washington County
Today, young men & women are serving in harms way on our behalf. These fine young men and women find their strength in the support of family, friends and the nation they are serving. Please remember to support our troops during the holidays and the upcoming year. To give thanks to those in uniform, proudly display a flag in front of your home or post a yard sign thanking them for their courage. 8275101
To all veterans, past and present, Thank you and Happy New Year!
Toll Free Number
Established for Veterans
Congressman Allen Boyd, D-North Florida, announced that the South Central Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Care Network has established a toll free number for veterans who receive care at the VA Gulf Coast Health Care System in Biloxi and Gulfport and the New Orleans VA Medical Center. The majority of veterans in the Florida panhandle receive medical treatment from the VA facilities in Biloxi and Gulfport as these can be more convenient than the VA center in Lake City, Florida.
The toll free number is (800) 507-4571, which will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Veterans are encouraged to call with questions, such as where to access health care, how to receive prescription drugs, or any other concerns they may have about their care.
