Veterans and Military Families
Services for veterans, active duty service members, their families, and in several cases first responders. The VA publishes a set of free apps anyone can use without being enrolled in VA care, and there are civilian networks that specialize in military trauma and the paperwork around it. The entries record who is eligible, whether VA enrollment is required, what each service covers, how TRICARE or VA community care is handled, and what it costs if it costs anything.
