Meet with Hero’s Bridge DVS representative Julie Pulsifer during the Vietnam Veterans 5K on March 29. She also has a special performance planned!
 Julie joins the Hero’s Bridge team at our headquarters the first Tuesday of every month when she opens her schedule to meet with all veterans (regardless of age) to help them access VA benefits or increase the benefits they already receive.
She’s been working in the veteran space for three years and in this role at the Virginia Department of Veteran Services for nearly a year. She finds the work very rewarding. “It’s very fulfilling to help a veteran receive 100% coverage for hearing loss or double their existing connection,” she said. In one instance, a veteran’s religion kept him from seeing a physician unless necessary. She helped him receive 80% compensation on the first claim he filed since his active duty separation twenty years earlier. “Every veteran has a different need and makes each day unexpected,” she said.
She works in the veteran space to support the veterans in her life. “I have a lot of friends and family who are veterans or active duty.”
Julie will be at the Hero’s Bridge Vietnam Veterans 5K on March 29 with information from the Virginia Department of Veterans Affairs. She will be available to answer questions and help schedule appointments for further discussion at any nearby VA office. She will have information on VA Veterans and Family Support, Employment and Transition, the Education Service Line, and information on nursing facilities, cemeteries, war memorials, and the Veteran Services Foundation.
But there is more to Julie than her service to veterans. Julie was a music major in college and studied vocal performance. Today, she sings in a Fredericksburg community choir that performs year-round.
This year, Julie has a new solo performance scheduled. She will be singing the National Anthem to kick off our 5K.
Register for the Vietnam Veterans 5K to hear Julie perform the National Anthem and learn how you can improve the quality of life for the veteran you know.
