WELCOME TO DEPARTMENT OF RHODE ISLAND

One Capital Hill Providence RI. 02908

As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today's military service members into our ranks to become part of our elite group. Our common bond is the battlefield, whether it is service in the Persian Gulf, Korea, Kosovo, the war on terrorism or peace-keeping expeditionary campaigns. Your courage and sacrifice have made a difference in preserving and defending world peace. 


Commander's Corner

Commander Mark Turner

We are an organization founded 125 years ago on the principle that those who served should never be forgotten or forsaken. By working together, we can make a positive impact on our veterans, military personnel, and their families as we move forward into the year. I look forward to working with all of our leaders in VFWRI and our Auxiliary to make the difference in our community for which we all joined.

Mission Statement
Effective immediately, the Rhode Island Office of Veterans Services maintains the following:

• Thorough knowledge of individual and social factors contributing to personal problems that affect the Veteran, active duty, guard and reserve, and/or their families;

• Remains current on issues and trends impacting the work and mission of the agency;

• Forms strong and successful partnerships locally, regionally, and nationwide to address Veterans’ issues in Rhode Island.

These focuses are imperative to reduce homelessness amongst Veterans, Veterans living in poverty, Veteran unemployment rates, ensure Veterans receive proper medical care, continue quality customer service at the Rhode Island Veterans Home and Rhode Island Veterans Memorial Cemetery and ensure every Veteran has an opportunity to make it in Rhode Island.
