Florida's veteran population totals more than 1.6 million, making our state the third highest grouping of prior servicemembers in the country. With so many of our Vets deciding to call the Daytona Beach and Port Orange area home, it is important and helpful to highlight our area facilities that may be of interest to our heroes in uniform. Below are some great resources for veteran health benefits and good ol’ camaraderie so that you can really feel at home with your fellow veterans in your Port Orange or Daytona Beach home. If you have questions about Veteran resources, VA loans, or other Vet interests, please don't hesitate to call Kevin Kling at (386) 527-8577. Thank you for your service!
