Raymond Buquo, American Legion, DAV, FDVA

I serve as the County Veteran Service Officer for Putnam County, Florida, where I am dedicated to assisting veterans and their families in accessing the benefits and services they have earned through their military service. I have been an accredited Veteran Service Officer since 2021, providing guidance on VA claims, appeals, and resource navigation.

I am a retired member of the United States Navy, bringing firsthand military experience and a deep understanding of the challenges veterans face during and after their transition to civilian life.

Prior to my current role, I served as a Motorcycle Safety Foundation Instructor, promoting rider safety and education, and worked as a Financial Aid Counselor at a local college, helping students navigate complex financial systems to achieve their educational goals.

My diverse professional background, combined with my commitment to service, allows me to effectively advocate for veterans in Putnam County and ensure they receive the support and recognition they deserve.
