Removal of Combat Zone restriction from Vet Center eligibility policy

The Issue

The Vet Center serves all veterans who have served in any combat zone by providing them and their families with counseling or mental health assistance as needed. However, there are many soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who have developed PTSD with out first serving in a combat zone. We are asking for the Vet Center to remove the combat zone restriction and make their services available to any veterans and their families who need assistance.
