Anyone interested in obtaining the latest information from the Department of Veterans Affairs – from news releases and fact sheets to other products from VA’s Office of Public Affairs – can sign up for automatic distribution through e-mail.

Called a “list server,” the device will provide veterans, reporters, veterans service organizations and interested Americans with VA’s written products within seconds of their formal release in Washington.

“By tapping into the latest technology, VA is providing one more tool to inform veterans about services and programs,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Anthony J. Principi. “This will help them use the benefits that they have earned by their military service.”

Anyone wishing to receive materials distributed by VA’s new list server can subscribe by going to the following Internet address: http://www.va.gov/opa/pressrel/opalist_listserv.cfm and providing a name and an e-mail address.
