“Our nation’s veterans shouldn’t have to travel a long distance to meet with their Congressman, which is why I travel to meet them,” said Barrow. “I hope veterans and their families will come by, learn about what I’ve been working on for them in Washington, and find out how my office can be helpful to them right here in Georgia.”

Among many other things, Barrow’s office can:
 
• Expedite VA claims for veterans facing foreclosures and other hardships
 
• Help with finding old military records
 
• Provide advice for handling VA claims
 
• Initiate Congressional Inquiries for all military branches
 
• Help obtain benefits for widows and other survivors of veterans
 
• Help with obtaining replacement medals and citations
• Help with obtaining VA approved mortgages and GI Bill benefits
All of Barrow’s Veterans Town Hall Tour meetings are open to the public.
