Governor Kate Brown proclaims the week of June 20-26 as LGBTQ Veterans Awareness Week

While our nation was founded on the principle of equal rights for all people, LGBTQ service members have faced horrific discrimination, were forced to serve in silence without support, and many LGBTQ service members were ultimately discharged from the military under less than honorable conditions, prohibiting these veterans from accessing veteran services and benefits and preventing successful transitions back into their civilian life.
Oregon will continue to advocate for all people to have the freedom to serve openly and authentically in the military, and for all veterans to get assistance to access their earned veterans benefits, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Veterans with questions about benefits or claims assistance focused on issues experienced by those in the LGBTQ community are encouraged to reach out to ODVA at [email protected] or visit the LGBTQ Veteran resource page.

The Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs is informing veterans, spouses, employees and others who received their COVID-19 vaccine through the Federal VA Health Care System, on Tribal lands or out of state, that you will need to take an additional step to be entered in the state’s COVID-19 Lottery on June 28.
While most vaccinated Oregonians were entered in the state’s drawing automatically, those who received their shots at the VA or out of state were not, due to privacy laws that prevent federal agencies from sharing protected information with state partners. Therefore, the State of Oregon is offering the chance for those who were not entered automatically to voluntarily self-register at takeyourshot.oregon.gov.
The personal information you enter on this form will be held by the Oregon Health Authority and treated with the utmost confidentiality. It will be used for no other purpose than this drawing. For those who wish to enter, please ensure that you submit your registration form by June 27.

What a moment, and what a man. On 25 November 1950, First Lieutenant Ralph Puckett led his company across 800 yards of exposed terrain on a mission to capture an enemy position, consistently exposing himself to small arms and machine gun fire. Securing the position, he prepared for a counterattack, as Puckett and his company of 51 Rangers faced six waves of enemy attacks over the span of four and a half hours while defending Hill 205 overlooking the Chongchon River in Korea. Wounded by gr***de fragments and mortars that left him barely conscious, Puckett ordered his men to leave him behind so as not to slow their withdrawal. Despite his protests, his men dragged him to safety, saving the life of a man who would become legend among his fellow Rangers. Today, at 94, Colonel Ralph Puckett stands as a witness to history, and the United States Military’s newest recipient of the Medal of Honor.

Attendees will also be able to connect with event sponsors and vendors.

The day’s agenda also includes a listening session for Oregon women veterans, hosted by ODVA Director Kelly Fitzpatrick and ODVA’s new Women Veterans Coordinator, Jessica Bradley.
“We could not be more excited about this conference, from the outstanding guest speakers who will be sharing stories from their remarkable lives, to the benefit experts who will be answering questions and offering critical information to the Oregon women veteran community,” Fitzpatrick said. “We look forward to connecting with Oregon women veterans during this unique event.”

Hey there! If you are veteran who has experienced PTSD, would you mind taking a moment to fill out my short, ANONYMOUS survey? I am also a veteran, and a current nutrition student. I am learning how to gather and conduct social research this term. After graduation, my goal is to work with veterans and their families who are interested in regaining their health. I believe that PTSD and other brain-related disorders are important areas within the veteran healthcare system that need more attention. If you are comfortable sharing your experience, simply click on the survey image. All responses are greatly appreciated.
It's time to effect change. Please sign my petition.
