A veterans service officer will be in Trenton two times during January to assist with VA paperwork and answer questions.
The service officer will be at the Trenton Hy-Vee on Monday, Jan. 7 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and at the VFW Hall on Friday, Jan. 11 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Those needing assistance are reminded to bring a copy of their DD-214 and all VA paperwork they may have.
A veterans center counselor will also be at the VFW Hall on Friday, Jan. 11 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The counselor will be available to help with PTSD and re-adjustment counseling. Discharged and active military are welcome to use this service.
In addition, local officials are in need of a new laptop to process veterans’ paperwork, with an upgrade needed for security reasons. All donations are welcome and a receipt will be provided for tax purposes.
Transportation to VA medical appointments is provided free of charge, making runs primarily to Kansas City on Wednesday. Veterans needing transportation to their appointments can call 359-2078. Those making arrangements for transportation are asked to provide their name, the last four numbers of their Social Security Number, the date and destination of travel and the number of persons who will be going. The shuttle is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
