KANSAS CITY, Mo. (February 3, 2017) – The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States is once again teaming up with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for a Facebook chat, this time to provide veterans and their family members with a better understanding of VA’s education and employment benefits. The #ExploreVA Facebook chat will take place Wednesday, Feb. 15, at 2 p.m. EST on the VFW’s Facebook page.
VA subject matter experts will be on-hand during the live chat to provide answers and resources in response to participants’ questions regarding the VA’s many education and employment benefits.
