Veteran's Committee

Welcome,

I am George Volkl the TWU Veterans Coordinator for Local 512 at O’Hare. I retired from the Navy after 28 combined years of active and reserve service and have experience navigating the military/veteran waters. I assist our members with veteran benefits, deployments, military leave, returning to work, disability accommodations, VA enrollment, or any military veteran-related issues. Being a veteran and a TWU member makes you a part of this team and we have a registration page for you to include some basic information so we can better serve you. It’s important for you to stand up and be counted as a veteran as we need to show our strength in numbers when we lobby for legislation that affects all of us.

ADA: Know Your Rights

Returning Service Members with Disabilities You've been seriously injured while serving on active duty in the U.S. Military -- perhaps you've lost a limb, sustained a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury, sustained hearing or vision loss, or are experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) -- and now you're back in the States trying to adjust to living with your injury.

National Cemetery Administration

Many of our members have a parent that is a veteran and may want military honors or information regarding burial benefits that the veteran is entitled to. A veteran may be entitled to a free burial at a national cemetery or a monetary allotment towards funeral expenses at a cemetery of their choice.

U.S. Department of Veterans Affair

For information on health care, disability claims, education, or to order your service/medical records the VA has streamlined their website and made it very simple to find what you need. The first step everyone should complete is to order a copy of your service record. It contains your discharge papers and all records related to where you served and when.
