The Wayne County Veterans Service Commission is dedicated to assisting the veterans of Wayne County and their dependents. Certain rights and benefits may be obtained from the county, state and federal governments. We are able to advise and assist on these matters under the laws of the State of Ohio, Sec. 5901 of the Revised Code.

 We are not a branch of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA acknowledges our professional services. We work closely with the VA to achieve a common goal, and to assist the veteran in obtaining his/her rightful benefits under the law.

The Commission meets at 3:00 PM on the 4^th Monday of each month at the Veterans Service Commission Office.

Commission Members:

 By the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln phrased it as:
To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan…”
