Monthly Press Conference with VA Secretary Denis McDonough
Date: Thursday, April 27, 2023
Time: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET

Hi there! We are excited to tell you that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has launched a new chatbot on VA.gov. This chatbot can help veterans get quick answers about their benefits, healthcare, and eligibility. You can use it 24/7 by visiting the contact us page on VA.gov.

The chatbot can answer specific questions like "What's the PACT act?" or "How do I apply for disability benefits?". The VA wants to make sure veterans have access to valuable resources, and this new feature is one way they're doing that.

Why not give it a try? Head over to VA.gov and use the chatbot to get your questions answered instantly! Don't forget to share this great new resource with others.

In this episode of theSITREP, Paul discusses the advantages of Veterans using their VA home loan benefit - especially for those who may lack funds for a down payment, have experienced a bankruptcy or foreclosure, or who may have a low credit score. For additional information, see the links below.

Life expectancy for a machine gunner in Vietnam was 2.8 seconds. U.S. Marine Corps Veteran Private First Class Charles Armitage learned that all too well in January 1969 serving as an M60 machine gunner while attached to Mike Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Division. Listen to Charles tell his story of how a medical corpsman sealed his fate with a toe tag and a status of “killed in action” as we commemorate Vietnam Veterans Day in another episode of “Stories of Valor.”
