History
The Vet Center program was established by Congress in
1979 out of the recognition that a significant number of
Vietnam era veterans were still experiencing readjustment
problems. Vet Centers are community based and part of the
U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. The goal of the Vet
Center program is to provide a broad range of counseling,
outreach and referral services to eligible veterans and their
families. Due to the success of Vet Centers in addressing
the needs of combat veterans, the program was expanded
to include veterans who served in Lebanon, Grenada,
Panama, the Persian Gulf, Somalia, Korea, WWII, and
Southwest Asia.
This comprehensive website offers information surrounding
the asbestos-related diseases that are affecting more and
more of our nation’s military men and women. Asbestos, the
only cause for the cancer mesothelioma, was often used in
many aspects of military life - shipbuilding, boiler rooms,
housing, etc.
