Veteran’s corner Nancy Hawk Column designed to help local veterans with events, benefits A veteran's information column is not a new idea. Many places can and do provide the same information. Their difference here is that these same places often do not provide numbers, names or addresses for problems that aren't classified as simply medical. Education and job training are only tow of the other benefits that many veterans are entitled to. So in a two fold method, this column will attempt to keep the community aware of new information, as well as, the activities of local veterans organizations; the American Legion and the VFW. The regular monthly meeting of the American Legion, Post 24, was held August Ist. The guest speaker was Robert Turner, a past National Commander of the American Legion. Turner, who works currently as a counselor at the VA office in Milledgeville, had some tips and advise for veterans and their families. Turner reminded the veterans and their wives about the importance of maintaining a copy of a DD2I4 or other forms necessary in proving service time. This paperwork is important to starting any claim with the Veterans Administration. If you have a DD2I4 you might want to have it recorded at the Houston County Courthouse. This would be a permanent certified record. Another state benefit is a free driver's license for veterans of Georgia and their widows. The process has to have some service record or a DD2I4. This is a sls savings for veterans. The Legion also held a swearing-in ceremony for officers. The Legionaires serving the POst 24 for 94-95 are: Commander Don Norris, Adjutant Harry Bretz, Chaplain Tom Mayo, Sargeant at Arms Ben Parker, Finance Officer Raymond Gornto, Service Officer Earl Check, Junior Vice- Commanders - Bill Kelly, Keiland Harrington, Bob Thomas, Nancy Hawk. Post 24 is also proud of Larry Miller and Harvey Voeltner for 50 years of service to the American Legion. The Radison Inn of Macon will host a Regional Legion Conference on October 22-23. 6th District of which Post 24 is a member won the award for 110% membership sign up. If you are a veteran who wishes to continue the strong tradition of service to the community, God and country, you can call 987-2901. Here is an "all call" to remind everyone of Veteran's Day, Nov. 11, 1994. This year's activities will be held indoors in hopes of increasing participation in this day of honor. More details next month.
