VETERANS: Great service is applauded

| March 17, 2010 6:51 AM

In this time when everything seems to be dysfunctional or dire, there is a bright, busy, unheralded place.  I’m talking about Kootenai County Veteran Services. Quietly and without fanfare they help veterans.  It may not seem as glamorous as others government functions but Darryl Heisey and his staff see over a thousand vets a month and, largely due to their efforts help bring over forty million dollars annually to the area. This money is, for the most part, spent here.

My thanks go to them for the help they provided me in managing my benefits. They are always ready to help.  If there are veterans out there who have questions or issues, these are the guys to see. I am confident that they are one of the finest veterans services agencies in the country and we have them right here in Kootenai County.
