My Veterans Place Podcast
Most Veterans and Military Families want to know who or where to go for resources they may need. Some may need information on Health & Education Benefits, Homelessness Assistance, Behavioral Health & Wellness, and Financial Literacy. Some may want to know Military friendly businesses that offer discounts. But not all Veterans or families have the time or patience to sit down and search through hundreds of organizations and businesses to find the right one to help. Join My Veterans Place as we interview organizations and business owners that serve Veterans and Military families locally and across the nation. We will bring awareness of the great work that is done through many organizations small and large. We will hear from Veterans around the nation that will share their journey. It's our mission to assist the military community with relevant information that will make a positive difference in their life.
