Welcome
Morris Moorehead, Director
As Director of the Office of Veterans Affairs I would like to welcome you to our web site. This is a work in progress and we will be making changes/additions/deletions as we develop this medium of communication with our veterans. Feel free to offer any suggestions for improvement. It is my hope that this medium will provide easy access to all information relating to our veterans. We hope to update this information on a monthly basis or more frequently as new information is received. Again, thank you for visiting and feel free to offer suggestions for improvement.
Our Mission
The mission of the Office of
Veterans Affairs is to provide information and services regarding benefits
and entitlements to all veterans in the Virgin Islands. The Office of
Veterans Affairs compiles data concerning veterans; informs VI veterans
of available benefits regarding employment, health, education, home
ownership and burial; and assists with processing and filing related
claims. The Office of Veterans Affairs also interacts and coordinates
with local and federal agencies regarding matters of interest to veterans.
Additionally, the Office recommends legislation to the Governor affecting
veterans and their families. We serve as a bridge between the services
provided by the Federal Government and the Local Government in meeting
the total needs of all veterans.
Our Office is committed to serving all veterans in a professional manner.
Because of staff is small in size, we are dedicated, and make ourselves
available to assist our veterans so that in the event we cannot provide
a service immediately, we can quickly direct them to where they can
obtain the required assistance. Our major focus is on customer satisfaction.
