Important VA INformation

---

I stumbled upon the Virtual Wall while researching information on Vietnam Veterans Day. What am impressive site. There is obviously information on the 58,300 men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice. But there is so much more. There is a links page that would has numerous links to units that served in Vietnam, other sites that have Vietnam information. The lsit is almost overwhelming. But in a good way.

The Virtual Wall welcomes visitors Visitors may leave tributes, letters, poems, photos, and other memorials to someone named on The Wall for other visitors to view.

With March 29th Vietnam Veterans Day approaching please take some time and look through this site. Do it with reverence and honor those who served there.

A special thanks to the folks that have put this marvelous site together. It is a  venture that you have given to all who follow.

During this COVID-19 Pandemic, the Wichita VBA Regional Office is providing a new virtual Skype service for veterans, please share:  
When a Veteran calls in to speak with a benefits related question, he/she will be greeted by an intake person that will ask for name and phone number. That information will be passed on to another representative for a call back.  We believe the call back time will be short (15 minutes or less is the goal.)  That may fluctuate based on congestion.  We appreciate you publishing the contact info via your Vet to Vet network. 

• Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
• Contact one of the phone numbers below.
• When prompted, input the conference ID.
• A representative will ask for the call back information.
• An administrative specialist will contact the Veteran ASAP.
