Service & Sacrifice: Veterans Missing Out on Benefits By: John Becker
250% increase from 2005-06 to 2010-11
Breaking Records Every Year! To GOD be the Glory!
Campbell County Ranks #2 out
of 95 counties
Praise the Lord! The numbers are in and The Campbell County Veteran Affairs
Office is excited to report that for the FIFTH STRAIGHT year in a row, continues to
break records in monetary benefits for just under3500 of its veterans and their
families. TO GOD BE THE GLORY! With a veteran population of 3492, we averaged $4,195.74 per veteran. Last year, we reported
that Veteran Affairs sent Campbell County 10.9 Million dollars in monetary benefits and this year the Veteran
Affairs have sent over 14.65 million dollars to this county. Campbell County Service Officer, Kevin Walden
continues to represent our county and state as Vice President of the Tennessee County Service Officer Association
among his 100+ peers across Tennessee (3rd straight term). Kevin Walden continues to state that
the County’s success came from PRAYER and the hard labor of his staff (Gwen Lobertini and Tanya Davis) and mentors/Campbell County Service Officer Emeritus (Bob and Linda Andreas; who are now retired and continue to
provide guidance and assistance to our office). First, our office would like to thank the Veterans
and their families for entrusting us with their Veteran Affairs. We also would like to thank many leaders/supporters
in our community that favor the so many Veterans’ programs; your support is not in vain! I would like to
thank our commissioners that support Veteran’s Affairs Department pray for their continued support. Also, we would like to recognize the finest Honor Guards in Tennessee who do an awesome job honoring our
fallen comrades and their families.Our Honor Guards spread a positive awareness throughout
Tennessee from the Army National Guard Funeral Honors Program and they are always looking for new members.For more information about the Honor Guards or Veteran Benefits in Campbell County, call us at 423-562-3531
.
Again, we praise the Lord for what He is doing through us.
The Campbell County Veteran Service Office assists veterans and their dependents who
are in need of assistance such as counseling and advice, funds, medical treatment, loaning of available medical equipment,
educational benefits, burial benefits, assistance in filing necessary forms all in compliance with congressional
federal law regulating the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). Many of our clientele are fully dependent on VA for their
survival especially for funds on which to live. There are many problems with keeping a smooth dispensation of these funds,
therefore the Veteran’s Office acts as mediator.
