Our veterans deserve a lot of things - praise, honor, security, respect.
What they don't deserve are attempts to take advantage of their service. Every day scammers attempt to defraud our veterans of their hard-earned benefits, steal their identity, or take their savings. Together, we can fight back and take one small step to repay our veterans for the service they've given and the sacrifices they've made.
Join us on August 27 at the Boise VA to find out more about today's leading scams that are targeting our nation's veterans.
