Veteran resources

At VFW Post 1, we believe that service transcends military service and is a core of who are. As a Post 1 family, we take care of our brothers and sisters.

Are you a Veteran in crisis or concerned about one?

Contact the Veterans Crisis Line:

Post 1 works collaboratively with the VA’s Supportive Services for Veteran Families program (SSVF), offering case management services, assistance in obtaining benefits and emergency financial resources.

The SSVF Program also seeks to prevent Veterans and their families from becoming homeless and helps to rapidly re-house those who have lost their homes. The SSVF services are located down the street from Post 1 at the Bill Daniels Center Volunteers of America at 1247 Santa Fe Dr. Denver, CO 80204 (720) 501-3367

If you served in the Military, received an honorable discharge, and need health care, you can enroll in the VA health care system. Enrolling is easy, and you can do it online here.

Viking Bags logo

Viking Bags was conceived the same way almost every great idea is conceived; out of frustration with the current state of things & out of a desire to change things for the better. In our case, the frustration was with the sub-par motorcycle luggage in the market at that time. Our desire was to create something that was just as beautiful as it was useful.
