ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown (D) has helped launched http://www.veterans.maryland.gov, a Web site to provide user-friendly navigation, up-to-date features and comprehensive information for Maryland veterans and their loved ones.

The state's Commitment to Veterans program is an outreach and referral initiative designed to ensure "that no veteran falls through the cracks of a dated V.A. system," Brown said in a statement.

The Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs has also launched its newly redesigned Web site this week at http://www.mdva.state.md.us. The site features educational opportunities, veteran memorials information and an online version of its newsletter. Last month, a Maryland Veterans Network of Care portal was made available at http://www.networkofcare.org.
