Veteran Benefits Guide

03/06/2026

VBG was proud to sponsor the 2026 Las Vegas Veterans Stand Down on March 4 at the World Market Center.

The one-day event brought together community organizations, service providers and employers to connect Veterans with essential resources — including housing assistance, health care, legal aid, mental health support and employment opportunities.

VBG team members spent the day engaging with attendees at the company’s booth and connecting with Veterans from across Southern Nevada. VBG is honored to support events like the Stand Down that strengthen community and expand access to resources for Veterans.

Thank you to Surf Brigade
for highlighting how VBG champions Veteran resilience, purpose and connection.

Veteran Benefits Guide is built by veterans, for veterans.

They understand the system because they’ve lived it. Every day they help veterans pursue the benefits they’ve earned through their service.

But what stands out is this — they’re not just helping veterans navigate paperwork. They’re investing in veterans as people.

VBG believes resilience isn’t only built through claims and compensation. It’s built through community. Through purpose. Through experiences that help veterans reconnect with who they are beyond the uniform.

That’s why they chose to support Surf Brigade.

Because of their investment, veterans will attend our Surf Retreat in Costa Rica focused on purpose, narrative, and connection. This is curriculum-based surf therapy designed to strengthen identity and build lasting bonds across the veteran community.

Veteran Benefits Guide is putting real resources behind veteran resilience. Not just talking about support. Actually funding it.

If you know a business that wants to invest in the resilience and long-term strength of our veteran community, tag them here so they can see what meaningful support looks like.

And if you’re a veteran with questions about the benefits you earned through your military service, visit their website to learn more.

Big weekend. Big impact.

VBG was all over the Jacksonville area last weekend, showing up for the community in a big way. From meeting fans at PBR Jacksonville: Unleash the Beast to a meet-and-greet with PBR athlete Marco Rizzo at Bass Pro Shops, the energy was electric and the connections were real.

In partnership with the Jacksonville Jaguars, VBG presented a grant to The Fire Watch to support its mission of ending Veteran su***de in Florida. Team members also sponsored K9s For Warriors Salute to Heroes Gala and volunteered locally with Travis Manion Foundation — giving back alongside partners dedicated to supporting Veterans and their families.

VBG also met with local government officials and community partners — including the City of Jacksonville Military Affairs and Veterans Department — to continue conversations that advance its mission to serve Veterans.

It was a weekend that celebrated what happens when partnership and purpose come together — leaving a meaningful impact on fans, Veterans, and the community alike.

VBG was honored to partner with the Jacksonville Jaguars for a check presentation supporting The Fire Watch, a nonprofit focused on ending Veteran su***de through education, training and community engagement.

The Fire Watch works to train citizens to identify warning signs of crisis and take action to connect Veterans with the help they need. The event brought together community partners and advocates committed to strengthening support systems for those who have served.

The collaboration reflects continued investment in initiatives that promote mental health awareness and Veteran well-being.

Team VBG partnered with the Travis Manion Foundation for a community service event in Jacksonville Beach.

Volunteers gathered at the Jacksonville Beach Pier and completed a one-mile ruck march while carrying canned goods to support a local food kitchen. The group then participated in a shoreline beach cleanup. Activities concluded with a community social at Jax Beach Bowl.

VBG is proud to partner with the Travis Manion Foundation on community-focused initiatives such as this event. Serving alongside dedicated volunteers who are committed to strengthening local communities reflects the organization’s core values, and VBG looks forward to continuing its support of impactful service efforts.

Thirty years — that's how long Marine Corps Veteran Todd waited to file for VA benefits, following his service in Beirut during the 1980s.

After a VSO told him it "wasn’t worth trying" for a higher rating, Todd reached out to VBG. In less than three months, he received an accurate rating that reflects the impact of his service.

Todd recalls the moment: "I was teary-eyed when I put my claim in the mail. ... I went 30 years without my benefits, and with VBG, it took me two and a half months to get the accurate rating I deserve."

VBG is committed to helping Veterans secure the benefits they deserve. Thank you for your service, Todd!
