West O‘ahu Vet Center

The West Oahu Vet Center is part of the Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare system. They provide free and confidential readjustment counseling services to veterans, active duty members, and family members. Check them out in Kapolei. West Oahu Vet Center has partnered with the Kalaeloa Heritage Park to provide cultural education and volunteer opportunities for veterans. Keep posted for upcoming events and workdays. The Vet Center will be bringing various groups of veterans to explore the park.We would like to acknowledge the volunteer work of veterans Tommy Scott, Gary Cera and Travis Schmidt. They have been volunteering their time into helping out with basic functions of the park. One thing they have been doing is providing educational tours to clients and community partners of the West Oahu Vet Center. This gives local residents and veterans a chance to learn about this historical site and reflect on the story of the land. They also have been watering the native/ indigenous plants and animals of the park. Other work they have done are controlling weeds, and providing security checks to keep the park safe and secure. Tommy often says doing these duties are "therapeutic and calming.” Article Contributor,Travis Schmidt, Case ManagerWest Oahu Vet Center
