Invest in America’s Veterans Foundation-Florida, Inc.’s mission is to serve our Veterans by providing a helping hand in getting back into mainstream USA. Our commitment is to serve veterans and their families from every generation. Unfortunately, many Veterans are unaware of all the benefits that they are entitled to. The facts for existing and returning Veterans seeking benefits are shockingly lacking. There is limited federal help available for veterans, their spouses, and family. And that is only gained by the most informed in a federal system that is very slow. Here at the Foundation, we can inform the Veterans and help them obtain those benefits. Unfortunately, many Veterans are unaware of all the benefits that they are entitled to. The facts for existing and returning Veterans seeking benefits are shockingly lacking.
