VA services
rendered to
Vietnam vets
The Veterans Administration
reported today on the progress
of two special programs now in
effect to provide information
and counseling about benefits
available from a grateful na
tion to servicemen in Vietnam
and to servicemen hospitalized
in the United States.
William J. Driver, Adminis
trator of Veterans Affairs said,
“We expect thousands of young
men who served their nation in
Vietnam this year to be in
school this fall because of this
program.”
Driver’s report stated that
since many young Vietnam
servicemen are discharged im
mediately when they reach var
ious debarkation stations in the
United States, rather than a
centralized separation center,
they did not always receive a
full, personalized explanation
of the benefits that would be
available to them as veterans.
To help carry out the gov
ernment’s wishes to help fight
ing men make a ready adjust
ment to civilian life, Driver
sent VA contact representatives
to Vietnam on a trial visit on
January 30, 1967 to make this
information available to men
preparing to leave Vietnam.
“I am glad to report,” he
said, “that American service
men responded enthusiastically
and I have made this program
a regular part of VA opera
tions.
“The first two-man VA team
sent to Vietnam and the five
counselors we now have at
Long Binh, Cam Ranh Bay and
Pleiku were selected from a
large number of volunteers be
cause of their long experience
in advising on VA benefits,”
he said. “They are men who
have known combat in earlier
wars. Two of them are winners
of the Medal of Honor.”
At the end of the first five
months, these VA representa
tives have advised more than
50,000 men, and some 10,000
have received extra personal
counseling. Four out of five of
the men responded by asking
for the additional printed in
formation offered during the
briefings.
Driver said that VA represen
tatives report that Vietnam
servicemen show an interest in
furthering their education when
they complete their military
service. Special attention is
given to assisting them prepare
applications to go to school un
der the new GI Bill which was
signed into law March 3. More
than half of the applications
filed in Vietnam for all types

of VA benefits were for educa
tion.
“Based on reports filed by
VA representatives and my
personal visit to Vietnam, I
feel this program is making
a significant contribution in
speeding up and smoothing out
the civilian soldier’s transition
to civilian life,” Driver said. “I
believe the program can fruit
fully be expanded and I have
notified the Department of De
fense that we are willing to
send additional VA representa
tives to advise personnel who
have completed their tours of
combat.”
Men disabled in service have
a variety of special benefits
available to them and last fall
Driver initiated a plan for VA
officials to go into military hos
pitals in the U. S. to acquaint
these men with their rights, as
sist them in making applica
tions, and provide professional
counseling.
During the first half of 1967,
VA contact representatives
made some 1,700 visits to 95
military hospitals and provided
personal assistance to about 13,
500 hospitalized servicemen who
are in line for discharge ’for
disabilities suffered in Vietnam
and elsewhere.
During the past 6 months
more than 4000 disabled ser
vicemen have filed applications
for VA vocational counseling
and VA counseling psycholo
gists now visit military hos
pitals to work out individual
job training programs based on
the education, interests, and
capabilities of the individual
veteran, as well as his unique
disability. Many will be in
schools and on-the-job training
this fall.
“This program is extremely
beneficial for the service-dis
abled who have made such high
sacrifice in behalf of their
country and the free world,”
Driver said.
