Welcome from the Director

As the Director of your Veterans Service Agency, I consider it a profound honor and privilege to serve the veterans and military families here in Westchester County. As an Army veteran and former paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division, having served during Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (Iraq), I know firsthand the challenges and triumphs of military service.

Our office is here to support you and your family members every step of the way. We help those who served in applying for disability claims, entitlements, and other crucial federal, state, and local benefits. We also work closely with our vast network of community partners to ensure veterans are receiving all of the benefits and resources available to them at every level.

The transition back to civilian life is rarely an easy one, and it's never a straight road, whether you've been recently separated or have been out for decades. We are here to navigate that journey with you.

We invite you to make an appointment to stop by our office for any reason—no issue is too small. We also encourage you to attend the County Veterans Advisory Council monthly meetings to stay connected and share your voice.

Thank you again for your service. We look forward to working with you.

Joshua Gaccione
Director, Westchester County Veterans Service Agency
