Veterans Supporting Veterans

No veteran should have to face hardship, isolation or painful experiences alone. Sometimes the first step is simply talking with someone who understands.

You Were Not Alone Then. You Are Not Alone Now.

Reaching Out Is a Sign of Strength

Military experiences can affect veterans and their families long after service ends. VFW Post 759 encourages veterans to reach out, stay connected and seek appropriate assistance whenever it is needed.

Peer Connection

Sometimes it helps to speak with another veteran who understands military service, difficult transitions and experiences that can be hard to explain to others.

Finding Resources

Post members may help veterans identify appropriate community, VA and veterans-service resources for benefits, assistance and additional support.

Checking on Veterans

A phone call, visit or conversation can make a real difference. Our outreach reminds local veterans that they remain valued, connected and remembered.

Talk With Someone Who Understands

Post 759 provides fellowship and opportunities to connect with fellow veterans who may understand the challenges associated with military service and the transition to civilian life.

Veterans do not need to wait until a problem becomes a crisis before seeking companionship, professional help or appropriate community resources.

Our Message to Every VeteranYour Service Matters.
Your Life Matters.
You Are Not Alone.

There Is No Wrong Reason to Reach Out

Challenges can appear immediately after service or many years later. You do not need a diagnosis, an emergency or the perfect words before asking someone to listen or help you locate support.

Reasons Veterans Seek Support

  • Post-traumatic stress or painful memories
  • Grief, loss, depression or anxiety
  • Loneliness or social isolation
  • Transitioning from military to civilian life
  • Financial, housing or employment difficulties
  • Questions about benefits and available resources
  • Needing another veteran to listen

Concerned About a Veteran?

Family members and friends often notice changes before anyone else. If you are worried about a veteran, take those concerns seriously. Check in, listen without judgment and encourage the veteran to connect with appropriate professional support.

If there is an immediate danger or medical emergency, call911. For confidential crisis support, call988 and Press 1, text 838255or use the official Veterans Crisis Line chat at the top of this page.
