DVS to Host “Virtual” Veterans Day Outreach

By NMDVS

The New Mexico Department of Veterans Services (DVS) will host a special Veterans Day Zoom Outreach tomorrow (Wednesday, November 11) from 9am-noon.

Veterans or their dependents can connect via the popular video communications computer application Zoom with DVS to get help with filing for or updating a veterans’ VA or state veterans benefits.

“The COVID-19 pandemic is not allowing DVS to safely gather in person to celebrate Veterans Day this year,” said DVS Secretary-Designate and U.S. Air Force veteran Sonya L. Smith. “So we’ve decided to make it a day of online service to safely help our fellow brothers and sisters with their benefits needs.”

Veterans can contact DVS Veterans Service Officers (VSO’s) from 9am-noon via the following Zoom links:
