This document introduces the PocketVA app, which connects veterans to VA resources and services from their smartphone. It allows veterans to search for education and training programs, jobs, and connect with mentors, case managers, and other veterans for social networking. The free app gives 24/7 access to VA benefits and programs from anywhere. It was conceived by Randall Winn and Anne Leigh to help veterans at any stage, from separation to civilian life or workplace reentry. A concept presentation was made to a state agency but no funding materialized. The document releases the concept into the public domain.
