Someone has gone to a great deal of trouble creating a special list of websites for veterans. Many times, the veteran is lost in a sea of websites and has no idea what direction to pursue. Hopefully this special list will be helpful. If this helps one person, then it was worthwhile. Please pass this on to all Veterans on your e-mail list.
