W.Va. launches ambitious veteran outreach effort

Published



CHARLESTON, W.Va. – West Virginia lawmakers are launching a comprehensive survey Monday to learn more about the state’s legions of military veterans and their needs before the next legislative session.

Aided by psychologists and counselors, the project plans to ask veterans about their health, work, education and family, among other topics. The survey is mailing more than 8,000 postcards to veterans this week, inviting them to take part. Veterans can also call a toll-free number to schedule a phone interview, or take the survey online.
