How you can help
- The very first thing that anyone can do is to make sure that any Veteran that they know is aware of the NCVRAC web site and checks out the many agencies and organizations that exist to help them.
- It would be outstanding if anyone who cares about our Veterans makes sure that the Veterans (or a family member) attend one of the sessions, conferences or summits that the NCDVA, the VA/VHA will be hosting across the state in the months to come. The first will be the 2014 Women Veterans Summit & Expo that will be held on April 17, 2014 at the North Carolina National Guard headquarters in Raleigh. The focus of this summit is to “Empower, Educate and Enrich” women Veterans in North Carolina. www.ncvrac.org/2014Summit
