One of the highest priorities of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is meeting the needs of Former Prisoners of War (FPOWs), extraordinary men and women who have endured captivity,


suffered extreme deprivation and sacrificed their own freedom to preserve the freedom of all Americans. Former POWs receive special priority for health care in VA hospitals and clinics. They


are exempt from making means test copayments for inpatient and outpatient medical care and medications. They also are eligible for dental care, eyeglasses and hearing aids. Extended care


services such as in-home care and nursing home care are also available. The wives and widows of former POWs may be eligible for some benefits. We host an annual POW/MIA Recognition Ceremony


the third Friday in September where a special ceremonial presentation is performed by a local Veterans Service Organization. VA actively reaches out to all former POWs who are not receiving


their deserved VA benefits. We will gladly assist any POW with their questions and in initiating or reopening a claim. Any questions should be directed to: Shawn Richardson Former Prisoners
