OWH Templates - Templated Operation Welcome Home & Memorial packages for communities across America.

VA Benefits Support - Create a service bureau that assists veterans with VA benefits questions. The initial goal is to develop a dedicated call-in line along with an e-mail service available 2-3 days a week where veterans or surviving spouses can call to get prompt, accurate, up-to-date information on VA benefits, specifically the Improved Pension program for disabled (non-service-connected) veterans and their widows. The goal is to provide a soup-to-nuts service that guides veterans and fills out the necessary paperwork free of charge.
