Veterans Resources
America's service members have bravely fought to defend our country, and they should not have to fight for a good-paying job or the benefits they've earned when they leave the service or come home. This page provides information and links on educational opportunities, job banks, workforce development opportunities and other resources for veterans and their families.
If you have questions or need help working with a federal agency, you can also contact my Veterans Hotline at 719-328-1100 or click here to receive assistance.
If you are a veteran in crisis, or the family or friend of a veteran in crisis, and would like to talk to someone confidentially, please call or click to chat the Veterans Crisis Line. Department of Veterans Affairs responders are available 24 hours a day to support veterans and their families through a confidential toll-free hotline or online chat.
