Social Media Terms of Use
The Nevada Department of Veterans Services (NDVS) social media pages are considered a community and part of being a community means users are expected to be respectful community members. We welcome questions, comments, stories and photos. However, users that post a comment on our page will take personal responsibility for their comment, use of username and any information provided.
