Information for Tribal veterans
Vet rep asks Tribal veterans to call in: All Siletz Tribal veterans are asked

Siletz veterans office open daily: Tony Molina is available for all Siletz
Tribal veterans. He is in the Tribal administration building in Siletz on Monday-
Friday to help you get information for your VA benefits. Additionally, he needs
