Veteran Service Officers

Department Service Officer
John Papka


Service Officers are generally available before and after monthly meetings. This is not a guarantee, they are people too. They try their best to be there and the chapter tries to make sure that there is a system in place to have a Service Officer as often as possible.

Chapter # 17 Veteran Service Officers are available every Monday 9am until 12pm
VFW post 802 – Hohman Ave, Hammond, IN


If meeting with your VSO for the first time please remember to bring your DD214 and your medical diagnosis of your condition.


Service Officers do NOT see veterans during the holiday festivities.
