Community Update for Veteran Services
There appears to be some misinformation circulating regarding my role as a Veteran Service Officer (VSO). To clarify, I have not stopped providing VSO services at the Veterans Memorial Museum and East Lewis County Outreach Locations. My team and I continue to serve Veterans at the same location and remain committed to assisting Veterans, service members, and their families with VA claims and benefits.
The only change is that my accreditation has transferred from The American Legion to AMVETS, allowing me access to additional resources and support that benefit the Veterans we serve through Nine Line Veteran Services. Additionally, my assistant Kristi is now fully accredited with AmVets and fully competent in providing VSO services.
My focus remains where it has always been—providing the highest level of service and advocacy for our Veteran community. I would LOVE to continue to be your VSO! All you need to do is sign a new VA Form 2122 and drop it off at the Veterans Museum or contact Lisa for more information. It is that easy! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Warmest Regards,
Brianna Smith, VSO - AmVets
