VA Retirement, Compensation and Healthcare

Many Veterans don't know the difference between Retirement Pay, and Compensation Pay. You may be entitled to BOTH, and one is Tax Free. Talk to our Veteran Service Officer to see if you can get more money (That you DESERVE), or get free healthcare. Some of these options extend to your Family!

WELCOME TO PUTNAM CONNECTICUT'S ONE STOP SHOP FOR VETERANS

Putnam's Home for Veterans
Putnam Connecticut
 
As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today's military service members into our ranks to become part of our elite group.  Our common bond is the battlefield, whether it is service in the Persian Gulf, Korea, Kosovo, the war on terrorism or peace-keeping expeditionary campaigns. Your courage and sacrifice have made a difference in preserving and defending world peace.
 
Commander's Message:  We are here for you.  Without you, we have no purpose, and that is the silent killer of today's Veterans.  Let us help you.
 
Our Post is made up of not just the Veterans who deployed to Conflict Zones, but also the VFW Auxiliary, which is the Family of those who have deployed to conflict zones.  Their support of our programs and activities makes our mission all the more important.  The members of the Auxiliary know what it's like to be a Family member to a Service Member and the unique benefits and conflicts that come with being a family member.  Be sure to check out the Auxiliary's "About" section if you are a Family Member of a combat deployed Veteran.
 
Lastly, the Putnam VFW has the unique pleasure of working with the local Friends of VFW Post 1523, who are just Community Members that are dedicated to assisting us with our missions here at the Post!

OUR MISSION

     A Post for the Veterans and their Families of the Putnam CT area.  A place of like-minded Veterans to relax and/or give back to the Putnam Community and the surrounding towns.  We strive to ensure Domestic Tranquility, promote the General Welfare, and Secure the Blessings of Liberty that we fought for, for our selves, our families and our neighbors.  If we don't do this, what were we doing when we served?
 
     We provide:  VA Benefits Counseling and Assistance, Catering, Banquet Hall space, Celebration of Life Services, Canteen liberties, Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Karaoke, Bingo Charity Fundraisers, Assorted Charity Fundraising, Scholarships, Community Outreach, Town of Putnam Veteran's Advisory Committee Members, Town of Putnam Parade Committee Members, Town of Putnam Veteran's Park Committee Members.
 
 
"That the purpose of this Corporation shall be fraternal, patriotic, historical, charitable, and educational: to preserve and strengthen comradeship among its members; to assist worthy comrades; to perpetuate the memory and history of our dead; and to assist their widows and orphans; to maintain true allegiance to the Government of the United States of America, and fidelity to its Constitution and laws; to foster true patriotism; to maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom, and to preserve and defend the United States from all her enemies."
