If you are a veteran currently not eligible for VA services and need help for mental health needs, you may visit a VA facility and receive treatment for 90 days. After the 90 days the VA will determine if the mental health diagnosis you have is service related. If so, the VA will provide further treatment.

Even if you think you do not need it, seek help and receive the benefits you have earned through your service to our country.

UNACCOMPANIED VETERAN BURIAL

On Tuesday, April 9th, 2019 at 11:00am SHARP, the Texas State Veterans Cemetery at Abilene, in Abilene, TX will conduct an unaccompanied Veteran burial for AMN Michael Reginald Gibson. Gibson served in the United States Air Force from 1978 to 1979.

Gibson is not expected to have anyone attend his funeral. Please help us spread the word and ensure that our United States Air Force Veteran is not buried alone. Members of the Abilene Community are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The Texas State Veterans Cemetery at Abilene staff have coordinated with Dyess Air Force Base to ensure that Gibson receives Military Honors. If no next-of-kin presents themselves at the ceremony, the On-Site-Representative of the Veterans Land Board will accept the United States Flag on Gibson’s behalf.

The Texas Veterans Land Board works with the Dyess AFB Casualty Office to ensure that NO Veteran is EVER left behind. Please join us to honor his life and service with a full military burial.

There is a student discount code. A portion of the proceeds will go to Military Heroes.

Texas is celebrating Women Veterans on June 12th.

The new VFW post will meet the 2nd Thursday of the month, 6:30 (1830), at the Military Veterans Peer Network, 765 Orange St, Abilene, TX 79601
