Director Jim Willis; Vietnam war veteran, US Air Force
Welcome to the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs website. On behalf of the Governor’s Advisory Committee and the men and women of our Department, I invite you to read through our site and learn more about our programs and services.
We take great pride in our role as advocates for Oregon’s veterans, their families and survivors. Oregon has a long and well-established history of respect for those who have served our state and nation with courage, dedication and honor.
I hope that you will call on us whenever we can be of assistance and especially whenever you have questions about veterans’ benefits. I would also like to encourage you to learn more about the Oregon Veterans’ Home in The Dalles. We call the Home "The Place Where Honor Lives,” and we are very proud of the world-class care provided to all who live at the Home.
Let me close by thanking you for your service to our country and remind you all that to those of us who work at the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs, "EVERYDAY is Veterans Day.”
