Orientation

Saturday, June 19, 2010 21:23 | William Kirk

Welcome,

As a veteran I have spent the last 22 years not fully knowing what VA benefits I am entitled to. To be honest with you the word entitlment has been a word that I have struggled with for several years. I have let my own ignorance, pride and ego stand in the way of fully understanding and taking advantage of these VA benefits that I am entitled to. That is until now. I recently had the opportunity to attend an orientation that was conducted by Mr. Albert Renteria at the new Southwest Veterans' Business Resource Center in Perris California.  After speaking with Mr. Renteria it was clear that most veterans like myself face the same three (3) obstacles. Mr. Renteria explained to me that the VA benefits I am entitled to as a veteran are a return of investment for the time I spent serving my country. 

In closing, I look forward to climbing the 14 level reintegration ladder that SWVBRC offers. If you are a veteran I encourage you to register and get informed today.  You owe it to yourself, your family and your community.

Be Well,

Bill K.

    Bill, Welcome to the group of learners. My hope is that as you progress in climbing the ladder of reintergration that you discover many additional benefits you might be entitled to as a Veteran. Many are uninformed and as a group it is our responsibility to help each other and eventually eradicate homelessness.
    Thank you for joining us. Keep up the good work.

    How wonderful that you found Al Renteria and the Resource Center!! I know you will learn a lot and benefit greatly. I am a volunteer at the Center in Vancouver, Wa., and have seen the results of this process. It is truly rewarding, as is helping our veterans. We all owe them so much.

    I will look forward to your next blog!!

    The best to you!! Fran Tobias

DOD Welcome home-small.jpg A welcoming home for our Troops.

Welcoming home our men and women doesn't end after the crowd disperses, it MUST continue on for the life of the Veteran! They've served us, now we will serve them with programs that work so they reintegrate into society.

We are a national public benefit nonprofit organization that educates American Communities about best practices to serve Veterans.  We honor their service by empowering Veterans to apply their training and skills to successfully transition to productive careers and enterprises.

We provide free vocational training 24/7 to all of our members through our website, in addition to local events.  We believe the tenet that American Communities are the ultimate beneficiaries when Veterans claim their benefits and invest in productive endeavors.

The SWVBRC enlists the support of members of local Communities like you to increase Veteran awareness of the value of obtaining a VA card and receiving earned benefits.

Sponsorships, donations, volunteers and support from communities like yours enable us to reach out to Veterans and empower them to transition back into successful, productive enterprises that ultimately benefit all Americans and support future generations.
