Return the F.A.V.O.R. Discount Program
NARA (National Archives & Records Administration)
We are veterans helping veterans, service-members, and their families, in any way we can.
RockVets is a project of New York Vets, a non-profit agency created in 1992 to care for those who have worn this nation's uniform - no matter where or when they served in the United States military.
The Veterans Service Agency of Rockland was established in 1945 and continues to provide information and assistance to Rockland County, New York veterans.
As veterans we have earned benefits because of our military service. We have information for you on the GI Bill, educational benefits, medical benefits, post traumatic stress, and submitting VA claim forms. We will provide you with the most current information on all veteran-related topics. There is never a fee for our services.
We welcome your inquiries. If you have a question, ask us....rules and regulations change constantly so don't assume that something you heard even a few years ago, is still valid now.
Rockland County Medal Award Ceremony: If you received an Operation Enduring Freedom medal, Operation Iraqi Freedom Medal, or the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary medal, we'd like to offer you the Rockland County Medal. We will have a Rockland County Medal Award Ceremony on November 9th, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. at the Rockland County Court House in New City, New York. If you wish to apply for the medal, send us a copy of your DD-214 before November 1st, 2014, showing proof of one of these medals as well as proof of Rockland County residency. For further information, contact us at 845-638-5244 or send e-mail to jerry@rockvets.com.
- Our VA veterans' medical clinic in New City, New York provides ongoing medical services for more than 6,500 local veterans. This was the first-of-its-kind established and now there are more than 1,000 such VA medical clinics throughout the U.S. - making it much more convenient for the veteran to access VA medical benefits.

- The F.A.V.O.R. program highlights hundreds of local businesses offering discounts exclusively for veterans. A veterans' ID card for the discounts is easily obtained at the Rockland County Clerk's office in New City, New York.
- RockVets Radio Show: on the first Friday of each month, just after the 10:00 a.m. newsbreak, Jerry Donnellan hosts a live call-in radio show on WRCR - located on the AM dial at 1300. The call-in phone number is (845) 362.0013. You can also access the radio show on the internet at www.wrcr.com. During the show, you can call in and ask questions about veterans' benefits or other matters relating to the veteran/military community. This is a good venue for organizations to let the public know about upcoming events of interest to the community.
Our mission is simple: advocate for veterans and our military men and women. We are here to help you, so send us a note or give us a call. And please help us spread the word about RockVets and this website so others can benefit from it.
Thank you for your service.
