Larry Hattersley & Steve Holmstrom NVDS Advocates

Larry Hattersley was on active-duty in the U.S. Air Force from June 1962 to September 1966.  He was a SGT -E4 in the Air Police stationed in Korea and Japan. And then served 25 years with the U.S. Marshals Service from 1970-1995.

He has been an SCA resident from 2000 to the present. He served two terms each with the ARC and Covenants committees.

Mr. Hattersley has served as a Veterans Advocate for the Nevada Department of Veterans Services (NDVS) for four years.  Primary duties are to help educate and inform active duty military members, Guard, and Reserve members, as well as veterans and their families, about the benefits that they may be eligible for.

Since 2003, he has served as a Nevada District Appeals Board Member for the United States Selective Service System.  

Steve Holmstrom was on active duty from April 1969 to January 1971 in the US Army. He did basic training at Ft Lewis, WA, EIT in airframe repair at Ft Eustis, VA, then Engineer OCS at Ft Belvoir. He completed his active duty while stationed again at Ft Lewis.

Mr. Holmstrom has been a Veterans Advocate since 2022. His duties are the same as Mr. Hattersley.

To earn their certification as a Veterans advocate, they completed 20 class modules that are taken online.  After completing and passing all modules, they were certified as a Veterans Advocate (VA).  A VA must be recertified every three years.  He also volunteers with the NDVS Outreach Director for Southern Nevada.
