Identity Guard Signs on as the Newest VFW Member Benefit
VFW members can now protect even more with their VFW membership
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (July 9, 2018) – The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. is pleased to announce it has teamed up with Identity Guard to offer VFW members and their families a special 20 percent discount on identity theft protection with IBM® Watson™ technology.
Identity theft affects one in seven Americans with potentially devastating consequences 1 such as loss of savings, being charged with a crime one didn’t commit or even being held responsible for fraudulent medical claims.
The threat of identity theft is real, and the consequences could be serious. Simply put, without adequate protection you and your family are vulnerable.
With Identity Guard protection, you’ll receive a monthly Vantage™ credit score2 with up-to-date credit scores from the three major credit bureaus, a full TransUnion credit report annually, and alerts if your information is detected on the Dark Web or "Black Market” websites. Your Identity Guard membership can also help protect your loved ones with a family plan that includes child identity theft protection.
Don’t gamble on the protection of your loved ones when it comes to identity theft. Start taking advantage of this special discounted rate today by visiting www.identityguard.com/vfw.

2 The score you receive with Identity Guard is provided for educational purposes to help you understand your credit. It is calculated using the information contained in your TransUnion credit file. Lenders use many different credit scoring systems, and the score you receive with Identity Guard is not the same score used by lenders to evaluate your credit.

If you know of someone who is a firefighter in the military, there is a program at the State Fire College
that enables them to become Florida State Certified. The program is called Operation Dispatch and
below is a synopsis of the program, as well as the link for additional information:
OPERATION DISPATCH
"Smoothing the way for military firefighters to become certified Florida Firefighters"
Military service members and veterans share the discipline, education, and experience that’s
integral to becoming part of Florida’s firefighting community.
OPERATION DISPATCH allows our military veterans the opportunity to apply comparative
experience-based training to fulfill certification requirements to continue protecting the
safety and well-being of those in our communities.
Designed to attract military service members and veterans to Florida, OPERATION DISPATCH
cuts out redundant training so military-trained firefighters take 40 hours of training specific
to Florida standards.
OPERATION DISPATCH allows these dedicated men and women to continue meaningful and
long-lasting careers in the Florida fire service industry.
Through partnerships forged with the Florida Departments of Veterans’ and Military Affairs,
OPERATION DISPATCH reduces the costs associated with the Florida-specific training and testing
to military firefighters. The program also allows participants to take the certification exam in a
more timely fashion than the regularly-scheduled quarterly administrations, which upon
successful completion helps newly-certified firefighters enter Florida’s workforce faster.
If you are a current military service member or veteran and would like more information on
OPERATION DISPATCH, call or e-mail the Bureau of Fire Standards and Training at: (352) 369-2800
ask for Michael Blum OperationDispatch@MyFloridaCFO.com
