I am from American Samoa, a U.S. Navy veteran and U.S. citizen. I was wondering if HQ is interested in opening up an office in this U.S. territory in the south pacific. This office will also cover veterans who reside in foreign country’s within the region, i.e. Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand and Australia. I am open to the idea of a home office, if finances are unobtainable. There are thousands of U.S. veterans in this region that have to travel long distances to Hawaii or California to meet or see an advocate consultant for their immediate needs. Why not make it convenient and closer to home for these veterans? Please get back with me on this simple request.
We are a national advocacy group and we do have accredited representatives who work remotely. If you are interested, please e-mail your resume to our Human Resources manager at our sister company, Freedom Disability. mgeorge@freedomdisability.com. Thanks for your interest.
