why is it that each time im calling the office line it says you guys are closed while I AM CALLING DURING BUSINESS HOURS!?!?!?!? very difficult to call and reach someone.

Please try calling again. Once you hear the recorded message press zero and you should reach a live person. Recently posted on the American Legion Post 264 Facebook page: "The Placer County Veteran's Service Office (VSO) has asked that we inform our followers their office is understaffed right now and has been for 7 months as the county has transitioned in a new CEO. They are doing the best they can with the demands being placed on them by the county as well as our veterans. Thank you for your patience with them." Hope this helps Rico!

I just tried doing that myself and it rings several times and hangs up
