Office of Veterans Affairs
Prince George’s County is the Crown Jewel of Maryland and home to the largest population of Veterans in the state of Maryland. The Office of Veteran Affairs is located within the County Executive’s Office. We serve eligible veterans, their dependents, surviving spouses, children of deceased veterans, members of the Reserves or National Guard, and active-duty service members who reside in the county.
Welcome to the Office of Veteran’s Affairs
“I believe we’re obligated to do more than just say ‘thank you’ to our veterans. We have a duty to show our appreciation with actions to back up our words.”
- County Executive Angela D. Alsobrooks
