We are so happy to share our new free Veterans Planning Guides that have all benefits, honors and cemetery info in one place! It also includes all detachable forms you need for requesting medals, flags, memorial certificates, DD214’s, and burial benefits all in one booklet. We cannot wait to share it with everyone!
Let me or Dan know if you need ANYTHING else – always. We appreciate you and The Legion so much.

Veterans Scratch off Lottery Ticket
The first specialty lottery ticket for veterans, Winter Winnings, was launched in 2006, and is the first lottery game in the United States to designate 100 percent of net proceeds to veterans. The Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs awards these funds in the form of cash grants. On a quarterly basis, IDVA's Cash Grant Committee accepts and reviews applications from veterans organizations that address job placement and training, disability benefits, PTSI research and treatment, homelessness, and long-term care. https://veterans.illinois.gov/programs/veterans-cash.html
