Completing the Mission: Supporting Veterans & Military Families  

Every November, we honor the 18 million veterans living in the United States, but caring for their health and well-being should be a year-round priority. The veteran community provides leadership and inspiration across many aspects of American society.  Yet they also face many challenges.  

Right after Veterans Day, join The Hill as we convene lawmakers, administration officials, advocates, and business leaders in a wide-ranging discussion on serving veterans after they have served.  

Through one-on-one interviews and panel discussions, we will dive into career development, healthcare, mental health, disability benefits, and military family support systems to investigate how Congress, the Administration, and the private sector can help our veterans succeed.

Veteran Benefits Guide (VBG) enables Veterans to receive the full disability benefits they have earned from their service in a timely manner. Since its founding in 2015, VBG has helped 35,000 Veterans obtain a combined increase of $5.5 billion in lifetime benefits. VBG’s trusted, national network of independent and credentialled medical service providers ensures that Veterans submit fully developed, accurate claims to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which avoids the need for appeals, speeds up the final benefits decision and reduces the VA case backlog. VBG is based in Las Vegas, Nevada and also has offices in San Diego, California. Learn more at vbg.com.
