MESSAGE FROM COMMISSIONER AARONSON
I recently learned that Palm Beach County has over 1,000 employees that are veterans. According to Craig Carr, the Coordinator of the County’s Veterans Services Division, our veterans served in every war from World War II through the current Iraq War. He singled out two employees, one was a Marine who served from 1943 to 1945 in the South Pacific and another, also a Marine, who participated in D-Day.

This is a good time to remind all of you that the County’s Veterans Services Division is dedicated to veterans, widows and children of veterans. The office serves all military veterans and their dependents including the Merchant Mariners and other auxiliaries. Craig and his staff have been specially trained to act on behalf of veterans. They maintain accreditation and certification through both the U.S. and Florida Departments of Veterans Affairs.

Veterans Services provides assistance in developing and filing claims and appeals with the Veterans Administration. They will help veterans, widows and children of veterans with applications, eligibility determinations and certification of various services such as compensation, pension, medical care, education, home loans and burial benefits. In addition, they can provide referral to other sources of help that may be available.

The main office of Veterans Services is located in West Palm Beach. You can call Craig and his staff Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm at 561-355-4761. In addition, staff is available on Wednesdays between 10:00am and 4:00pm at the County’s Library on 95th Avenue South in west Boca Raton and on Thursdays between 9:00am and 4:30pm at the County’s library on Hagen Ranch Road in West Delray Beach. I urge you to call or stop at one of these locations if you have any questions or need information.

Veterans Day reminds us to honor the many dedicated men and women who have served our country and preserved our democratic way of life. We must also honor our future veterans, those currently serving in the armed forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, Germany, Korea, the United States and many other places. They are all heroes. They deserve our love, respect and never-ending thank you.

Finally, Sheila, my staff and I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving. I also want to thank you for the support I received during our recent election. I appreciate your confidence in me and I am proud to be your District Commissioner. I will continue to do all I can to insure that you, as well as all the residents in Palm Beach County, have the highest quality of life possible.
