VSO Office Hours

Our Veteran Service Officer is now available on the fourth Thursday of each month from 1-5 pm in one of the study rooms on the 2nd floor of the Woodford County Library Main Branch in downtown Versailles.  If you have questions about benefits or want to talk about claims, Legion membership, or whatever, come on by. 

If you are coming to talk about VA benefits and/or claims, be sure to bring your DD-214 and anything you have sent to, or received from, the VA if you have it.

As always, this is open to all Veterans and is free of charge.

If you have an issue that cannot wait for the next session, please use the contact information below to reach a Service Officer and make arrangements to meet.

We are sorry, but we cannot meet at your home.

The goal of our Service Officers is to help Veterans and their families in any way we can, mainly by helping you find whatever resources you may need and/or helping with VA claims.

• You do NOT have to be a member of the American Legion to get help.
• All services provided by the Legion are free of charge.
• All information given the Legion will be held in strictest confidence.

Our Post also offers the limited use of our computer if you need one but don't have one.  Do you need or wnat to use VA's telehealth but don't have a computer?  Do you need to type, print, fax, or scan something or have other need for a computer?  If so, contact us at the Post and we can most liklely help you out by letting you use ours.

Our PSO (Post Service Officer) is Paul Mounts.  Federal law prohibits our PSO from completing, or even providing counseling on completing, VA forms.  What he CAN do in regards to the VA is take down your basic information and forward it to a VSO.  Of course, he can help you find other resources as well.  

Howard Whitehead is our VSO (Veteran Service Officer) Intern.  He can help with VA forms but he must send them to his VSO mentor for review and forwarding to the VA. Once his mentorship is over, he will be able to submit them to the VA directly.

Also, see the Links Page  and our PSO sub-pages in the menu at the upper right for possible resources and other information.

Sorry, Active Duty folks, we cannot intervene with your Command or your Service's processes and procedures in any way.
