​MONTICELLO- Memorial Day is an opportunity to honor America’s military men and women who lost their lives in service to their country, and while it is a day dedicated to those who have passed on, the staff at the Sullivan County Veteran Service Agency want to remind all military service members they are a constant resource available to veterans.

Stephen Walsh, a veteran and director of the service agency, spoke about the work he and his staff do on behalf of veterans who live in the county.

​”Services​ we​ provide for Veterans who are full-time residents of Sullivan County ​are everything from disability benefits​ to burial​ assistance, educational assistance, and job placement ​services ​to name a few,” he said.

Walsh also acknowledged that oftentimes, military service members are hesitant to ask for help.​

What I would like to say to any veteran who is eligible for either VA ​healthcare or disability benefits​ is you are not taking monies or services away from a more disabled veteran than yourself.  You’re helping Congress and our government acquire the proper amount of funding to care for all veterans and I encourage any veteran with a question about their status to please call or contact us​.”
The range of services provided by the office includes general assistance, help specific to the aging, and transportation to and from medical appointments.  For more information, contact the Veterans Service Agency at 845-807-0233 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
