| Our
Mission
To
confer and administer the benefits provided by a grateful State of California to its
deserving veterans and their dependents.
More specifically, to
provide California veterans and their families with aid and assistance in presenting their
claims for veterans' benefits under the laws of the United States; to provide them with
beneficial opportunities through direct low-cost loans to acquire farms and homes; and to
provide the state's aged or disabled veterans with rehabilitative, residential, and
medical care and services in a home-like environment at the California Veterans Homes.
This mission is based
upon the philosophy that programs of benefits for veterans fulfill necessary, proper, and
valid public purposes by promoting patriotism, by recognizing and rewarding sacrifice and
service to country, and by providing needed readjustment assistance to returning veterans
and their families, whose lives were interrupted when they responded to their country's
call to military service. |
