WOOSTER — Know of anyone serving in the military coming back to Wayne County either because their service is up or are returning from deployment? If so, the Veterans Service Commission and the county commissioners would like to know. Four of the five commission members, along with Director Nelson Weirick and service officer Jeff Shull, met with the county commissioners Monday to go over the upcoming budget, but most of the discussion focused on the office and the veterans served. In Ohio, veterans service commissions can ask for up to one-half mill of funding in their counties. Weirick said based on numbers provided by Auditor Jarra Underwood’s office, that figure is nearly $1.2 million. For the 2017 budget, they are asking for just less than …show more content…
Yes, the commission is serving more Vietnam War veterans and fewer World War II and Korean War veterans, Weirick said. Al Miller, an Air Force veteran of Vietnam and service commission member, said up until 10 years ago, he had no clue the organization existed. He was preparing to retire, and he knew he needed something to supplement his insurance. He was told to seek out the veterans service commission. “I learned about it, and now I want to help other veterans,” said Miller, who served as Apple Creek mayor for 18 years. Shull oversees transportation for veterans. Each day, two vans carry veterans to VA facilities in Canton and Cleveland. Those who come into the office seeking immediate assistance for emergencies can get help with their mortgage, utilities and food. Weirick said those in need are also referred to People to People Ministries, Community Action Wayne/Medina and Job & Family Services. There is collaboration with other organizations to make sure those who need help receive help. Wiggam said he liked the collaboration so money is available for those who truly need it.

In this claim it was noted that his stressor event from service was that his unit was heavily mortared one night and his best friend was killed in this attack. However, his claim was denied in December 1980 due to the fact that there was no evidence provided that was able to prove the individual was ever in combat, nor was there any evidence to prove that the mortar event ever happened. However, in April 2000, the veteran submitted military personnel records that indicated that he was indeed stationed in Vietnam from March 1970 until March 1971 with the C Company of the 554th Engineering Battalion. He also provided further information showing evidence that two members of the C Company had died during a mortar attack in January 1971. This new information helped to corroborate the information that was given during his August 1980 claim, and the VA granted him a 50 percent schedular rating for PTSD effective May 2000.
The American Legion drafted the original legislation with the help of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and both organizations helped push it through Congress. The Act was in response to a foresighted prediction by the US Department of Labor estimating fifteen million former servicemembers would be unemployed after the war’s conclusion.

That’s why it makes perfect sense to expand and reconstruct the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) to undertake such a massive service. Veterans don’t deserve to be treated like this, the forgotten hero’s, now the homeless, and the starving.
I chose this topic because everywhere I go, I see veterans, homeless and disabled, standing or slumped in a position of despair and hopelessness. These veterans are the results of fighting for our country and safety and now left in a positions of needing someone to fight for them. That should be the "TOP" priority of our Veteran Affairs Administration and reflected in their webpage. We now have so many veterans from so many different facets of life and ethnic backgrounds that the majority of them absolutely no support or hope. What in being done to encourage, support and direct our non famous and not rich veterans who find themselves in a "you 're served us well
The VA needs to change the way it deals with Veterans and their bout with homelessness, consistent and worthwhile employment, and mental
Veterans are some of the bravest men and women that you will ever know. They fought for our country in our most desperate hours and risked their lives so we could have the chance to live ours. It is such a shame that they are ignored and even homeless in today 's society. I had wondered how we could get veterans of the street and back into the job world. After research I found that there are programs and methods put in place specifically to help these struggling veterans.

They argue that the government should not be spending significant amounts of money to veterans or people that just came out of war. While they acknowledge that some veterans are so psychologically damaged by their experiences in battle that they cannot function properly in society and require disability payments, other veterans, they say, may become unnecessarily dependent on veterans' services.
