United Veterans Council of Delaware Co. has been formed, to help create, establish and maintain a better Veterans Community for all veterans regardless of their respective Veteran Service Organization (VSO) affiliations.
We hope the two appointed representatives from each of the participating VSOs' will continue to work out any conflicts between dates and times of activities among their parent VSOs' and help promote greater cooperation and wellness among the Veterans' community; by better coordinating activities among its Members and better use of any given VSO Posts' time, and energies spent servicing the community they serve, more efficiently.
It is recognized that many Veterans are members of more then one or two VSOs' and it is in the best interest of all involved, and to make it easier for members to support their local VSOs'.
And in the best interest of the VSO's to better communicate their events and programs to all card carrying members, and their families, within the greater Veterans community.
As well as encouraging through better information exchange to a greater number of potentially new members to enable and encourage them join and participate, in our local activities and support legislation of interest to our Military, National Guard, Reserves and the Veteran community as a whole.
The Council holds its monthly meetings at different VSOs' each month to keep participation fresh, and to help support, each participating VSO in mutually agreed turn.
Meetings are voluntary, and representatives should be ones that are committed, to coming to each monthly meeting to take back to the E-boards and membership of each VSO, any news of recommended support for events, and introduce any projects of worthwhile interest to Veterans as a whole, and the communities they live, work, and are active in, and then be able and willing to submit their particular VSO regular monthly news and events we can post here and elsewhere.

Building your own VSO Web site?
here is help getting it submitted on the web: 
Currently Many VSOs' are participating and we hope to see 100% participation as we continue to serve the community.
For now, we have these National Site Links to check out.
We hope to see Local Post web sites develop for each of the local VSOs' soon.
Local listings will be added as they are given to us, or are developed by each VSO. Check back monthly to see them as added.

Of each currently participating VSOs' we hope to see participating soon in the Delaware Co. area along with any special message from them to the community of Vets they wish to post here. Posts marked with an asterisk * are participating NOW.
Remember that each VSO sends two appointed or elected representatives to the monthly meeting to vote on issues and take back information to their respective membership to act on. Meetings are open to all vets, but only elected / appointed representitives are allowed to vote or hold positions or be on record, at any of the UVC meetings. Also Meetings are rotated through the participating VSOs'.

Are Your a veteran who needs a ride to one of the States VA Facility hospitals? Then call the American Red Cross 765-284-3361 to coordinate a ride to the various VA Hospitals.
There are "Certain" days that the AMVETS Van and Drivers are set up, to take Vets to their appointments to one of the VA Hospitals.
It is important to make your appointments as much as possible, on the days they schedule runs for each hospital.
Other days and hours are available; but need to be coordinated through the American Red Cross 765-284-3361 first.
