Illinois Amvets

Thank you to all!

Your 2026-2027 State Officers. Congratulations to all.

Laura spent the weekend campaigning, posing for photos, and reminding delegates that Illinois AMVETS knows how to host a great event. With all that patriotic spirit, she definitely turned a few heads and generated plenty of laughs along the way.
Laura want you to consider joining the fun next year. Hard telling what celebrity might show up. Photo credit Debbie Dant.

Veterans, SAVE THE DATE - June 27! It could be the most important thing you do for yourself this summer. From 1-4 p.m.,on our North Chicago hospital campus, we are holding our "Freedom 250" Veterans Resource Fair.
This is your chance to find out about the VA benefits you've earned by your selfless service to our country - no matter when, or where (you don't have to have served in combat).
Forget about ALL the things you think will disqualify you from receiving VA benefits, and stop by Bourke Hall (Bldg. 4), and talk to our outreach team members about a wide range of topics. From registration and enrollment, to health care, job assistance, housing help, su***de prevention, education benefits, and much, much more, our resource fair is for you.
We'll have a Mobile Vet Center on site, and representatives from the Evanston Vet Center and Veteran Service Organization (VSOs) will be here to assist you.
Our Su***de Prevention Team will have gunlocks. There will be places to have confidential chats about sensitive topics.
There will be refreshments, toxic exposure and other health screenings, and resources for family caregivers of Veterans.
This is your chance to cross "FIND OUT ABOUT VA BENEFITS" off your "to-do" list!
If you have specific questions about the resource fair or how you can get started with the VA, email [email protected]. We hope to see you June 27!
We also invite you to visit our website: https://www.va.gov/lovell-federal-health-care-va/

Every Wednesday Night!

If you know you know! If you don't. Come to Springfield and find out. Come hungry!
