The Door County Veterans Service Office provides all veterans of Door County and their families with a single, comprehensive, and seamless access point to the services and benefits which they have earned from both the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA).

- Medical and education grants.
- VA healthcare.
- Transportation eligibility for veterans to and from VA medical appointments at Milwaukee, Cleveland, Tomah, Appleton, and Green Bay hospitals and clinics.

We encourage all veterans and their family members to call with questions regarding veterans benefits or to set-up an appointment with the Veterans Service Officer or the Assistant Veterans Service Officer. Many of the benefits available through the VA or WDVA can be difficult and time consuming to apply for. We will gladly assist any veteran or family member with the paperwork and application process.
