My name is Luke Daniels. I work for an advocacy center called Veterans Guide. Our mission is to assist veterans with the array of issues they may face, including obtaining proper disability compensation, financial assistance, information on the GI bill, and more. We have created some helpful guides and will continously be adding more. Recently we also made a canculator that helps veterans calculate how much their VA rating should be, especially when it comes to combining ratings and complicated VA math.

It is also National Preparedness Month, and with the weather we’ve been having lately it is a good time to make sure you are prepared in case of a disaster.
- Make sure you plan ahead for food, water, and essentials for yourself and any pets you have if you need to shelter in place.
- Plan for transportation if you need help evacuating
- Have a way to get emergency alerts about severe weather in your area
- Download the Take Control in 1, 2, 3—Disaster Preparedness Guide for Older Adults. Use the worksheets and checklists in this guide to create your plan, then add it to your emergency kit or put it on your refrigerator as a visible reminder that you are prepared.
For more information on how to prepare, and step by step instructions to help, go to Older Adults | Ready.gov

My name is Eric, and I represent Hill & Ponton, a law firm dedicated to fighting for veterans nationwide who were denied benefits by the VA. I recently came across Veteran Resources on your page https://towsonamericanlegion.
At Hill & Ponton, our core purpose is to assist veterans in obtaining the disability compensation they deserve. Additionally, we are dedicated to educating and increasing awareness about their daily challenges, including mental and physical health issues.
This is why we've developed several helpful resources that I believe could complement your existing list:
- PTSD Guide (www.hillandponton.com/
introduction-ptsd-guide/) – a comprehensive resource tailored to assist veterans coping with post-traumatic stress disorder. - Research Mental Health Survey (https://www.hillandponton.
com/veterans-mental- healthcare-treatment-research/ ) – insights into veterans’ experiences with mental health treatment and identify factors influencing their access to care. - Toxic Exposure Map (www.hillandponton.com/toxic-
exposure/) – a helpful tool designed to help veterans navigate potential exposure risks. - Blue Water Navy Map (www.hillandponton.com/blue-
water-navy-vietnam-map/) – an interactive Vietnam map for navigating exposure to Agent Orange.
Veterans and their families face a ton of challenges, and we're all about making their lives easier. Our resources have made a positive impact on our readership, and we're eager to extend that support to your audience as well.
