For those who served

Written by a veteran, for veterans and their families

Records organizers, puzzle books and encouragement from an Army veteran and Legion chaplain.

A word from Robert

I served in the U.S. Army from 1998 to 2001 as an Air Assault infantry TOW gunner and came home a sergeant. Today I serve as chaplain of American Legion Post 149 in Farmerville, Louisiana.

I've sat across the table from a lot of veterans trying to sort out a claim, and the story is almost always the same: the papers are everywhere, the dates are fuzzy, and the family doesn't know where anything is. That's why I wrote The Veteran's Records Organizer.
