Frederick County Executive Jan Gardner today unveiled her plan to establish a Commission on Veterans Affairs, which would provide a forum for the county’s 17,000 veterans to voice issues and ideas and serve as a conduit to connect veterans to resources and information.
“I firmly believe we need to do our utmost to ensure that our veterans are fully supported and are connected to the resources they need,” Executive Gardner said. “These men and women defended our freedoms at great sacrifice to themselves and their families. It is our duty to ensure they have access to education, employment, counseling and other support services.”
