More than 42,000 veterans and their families call Queens home, more than any other borough. And no community within the Borough of Queens has sacrificed more for the rights and freedoms that are the foundation of our way of life than the men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform. Therefore, it is essential that the benefits and services entitled to our local veterans and their families are made available right here in Queens 

退伍军人和服役人员的家属可以从皇后区区长办公室获得每周五天的援助。区长还与纽约市退伍军人服务部合作，更好地为当地退伍军人提供帮助和福利。此外，退伍军人可以直接访问纽约市退伍军人服务部，因为纽约市退伍军人服务部的皇后区卫星办公室就设在皇后区政府。

协助联邦退伍军人管理局的索赔，检索或更换退伍文件和与服役有关的荣誉，关于财务、住房和教育福利的信息，是皇后区政府向退伍军人及其家庭成员提供的服务之一。

皇后区退伍军人服务部卫星办公室的联系人是坦尼娅-托马斯，可以通过（646）499-0098或[email protected]。
