Warning for Veterans

this came my way, passing it along

Quote:
WARNING TO VETERANS



An organization called Veterans Affairs Services (VAS) is providing benefit and general information on VA and gathering personal information on veterans.



This organization is not affiliated with VA in any way. http://www.vaservices.org/us/index.html



VAS may be gaining access to military personnel through their close resemblance to the VA name and seal. Our Legal Counsel has requested that we coordinate with DOD to inform military installations, particularly mobilization sites, of this group and their lack of affiliation or endorsement by VA to provide any services.



Michael G. Daugherty

Staff Attorney

Department of Veterans Affairs

Office of General Counsel

But of course, I would expect nothing less Dusty! [and my blessing should be a good enough defense right? ] Take one for me while you're at it!

Thanks for that. We have Soldiers transiting in re-deployment and I'll get this up to the PER folks.
