Commander Gilbert was at the Copperopolis Umpqua Bank handing out literature and answering questions, both about the VFW and about veterans interests. The VFW benefits are far reaching beginning locally with a solid group of veterans that have served during combat, allowing them the opportunity to be among others who have an idea of what they themselves have experienced. This group is involved in community events and functions and strives to be a strong community presence.
The benefits then reach beyond the community to include discounts from service providers and a representative to the district to help deal with VA red-tape.
