VFW Post 9397 Hampden, MA

01/09/2025

Earlier today we received a request from the VFW Post 9397 Hampden, MA to assist them with their flagpole that was broken and they couldn’t find anyone else to help. We reached out to our mutual aid partners from Wilbraham Fire Department for assistance with their Ladder truck. Together we were able to successfully fix the flagpole.

Have you heard or seen advertisements about companies offering to help with VA claims and appeals for a “small fee”?

VA strongly advises Veterans and their families to seek benefits assistance only from VA accredited attorneys, claims agents, and VSO representatives to avoid falling prey to claims predators. Claims predators are companies or individuals not accredited by VA seeking to exploit Veterans’ benefits. They often use misleading information, make false promises like expediting the claims process or guaranteeing higher disability ratings and charge unlawful fees.

Remember to always verify credentials before engaging with anyone for help with the VA claims process.

Learn more about filing a claim or appeal by using the File a Claim link in our bio, or find an accredited representative with the Find a Veteran Service Organization link.
