No-Cost CaptionCall 

CaptionCall is intended for those who have a hearing loss that makes it difficult to use the phone and need captions to use the phone effectively.

I would like to be a resource for the VFW and help veterans obtain the no-cost CaptionCall service and phone, which includes no-cost installation and support. We also provide the option of connecting a smart phone and the vet can answer their cell phone or the CaptionCall home phone as it will ring on both devices.

Based on conversations with community leaders across the US, many aging veterans are unaware of the available care options and programs that can help maintain their independence and quality of life. So we created a series of free resources that provide comprehensive information on topics like financial support and care options. You can read more about our work here:

As a result of the military's past reliance on asbestos, countless veterans are currently suffering from life-threatening diseases caused by asbestos exposure. Our organization provides free information, resources and personal assistance to those who have been affected by these diseases and can even
help veterans file for their VA benefits.

Please take a look at some of the great information we have for veterans at https://www.asbestos.com/veterans/ and let me know if you have any questions. I would love to speak with you more about this.
