You could be costing yourself some important aid from the government if you are a veteran. The Extension Kewaunee County is calling for all veterans to participate in a survey on behalf of the Kewaunee County Veterans Service Office to learn more about how they can be better served locally. The Kewaunee County Veterans Service Office, much like its colleagues around the state, assists veterans and their families. With programs like disability compensation, Veterans Affairs healthcare, pensions, and other benefits available to veterans and their families, the support is there. Community Development Educator Patrick Nehring says the biggest issue is not getting the veterans the benefits they deserve, but rather finding the veterans to have the discussions in the first place.
You can click this link or call Nehring at 920-391-4616 to take the survey. According to the U.S. Census, over 1,100 veterans are calling Kewaunee County home.
