2020 August Veteran of the Month Danny Alexander

Mr. Alexander is a Vietnam War veteran who served in the U.S.

Mr. Alexander is a Vietnam War veteran who served in the U.S. Navy for 22 years, retiring as Commander.

Since moving to eastern Nevada in 2011, Alexander has been heavily involved in both the local veteran and wider community. During the past five years he has volunteered at the Veteran’s Resource Center where he greets veterans as they enter the center and has assisted with promoting, coordinating, and working on several activities such as the Pearl Harbor Day Celebration, the Warrior of the Canyon, and other events. He has also served as the chairman of the Veterans Committee for the Great Basin Elks Lodge for six years. In this capacity, he identifies Veterans who are having problems and uses the resources of the organization to provide assistance in their time of need. During his six years as committee chairman, he has helped veterans by: assisting them with their taxes to prevent foreclosure; providing travel and lodging support for veterans with significant medical issues; and providing repair of a heating system for a recreational vehicle used as a home by a veteran.

VSO intake appointments are taking about 30–90 days to schedule. The wait time depends on which location you choose and appointment availability. If you have already submitted a request, you may need to wait longer than usual for someone to contact you. It does not necessarily mean your request has a problem, it’s primarily a notice about the current backlog.
