Operation VetCare
How we Help the Veteran
Operation Vetcare is here to help veterans, active duty soldiers, and military families who face special challenges as a result of their services in all branches of the US armed forces.
Operation VetCare is a project of The Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States (EANGUS) which is the official association of the National Guard. Because we represent every enlisted Guardsman, and because our board and staff are all current or former members of the Guard, we have decades of experience in knowing what people need when they face a crisis and how to help them.
