VA Resource Navigator

The VA Resource Navigator is a simple tool that helps Veterans access and understand VA benefits. It provides web links, phone numbers, and QR codes to VA programs and services. It’s recently been updated after months of input from Veterans and VA staff. The Navigator equips Veterans, VA staff, and community members with a concise go-to guide to support Veterans and their beneficiaries as they pursue benefits information. Whether the Veteran has recently transitioned out of the military or has used VA services for a long time, the Navigator is a valuable tool.

Happy 251st Birthday U.S. Navy 

The United States Navy celebrates its 251^ST birthday on October 13, 2026, marking its establishment in 1775 when the Continental Congress created the Naval Forces to defend our emerging nation. Each year, this day honors the Navy’s proud heritage, its tradition of service, and the Sailors—past and present—who demonstrate courage, commitment, and excellence at sea and ashore. The Navy Birthday is a reminder of more than two centuries of safeguarding our nation’s security and upholding the values that define our maritime force.  Happy birthday to all Navy servicemembers and Veterans!
