Town Hall needs Veteran's advocate for local Vets

Perhaps our TOWN HALL should have a veterans affairs advocate.  The delays and lack of assistance for ALL our vets [but esp the disabled] keeping you safe should make us all ashamed every day it takes to clear out the backlog.  Applause to this contractor.  No family understands unless they are a military family, of which there are many here.  And for those that have suffered the ultimate sacrifice of a son or daughter or husband or wife all our platitudes are full of sound and fury signifying no thing

what can we do?  help, even when not asked.  Even a hot meal is welcome.  But there are so many avenues we can pursue, even when not asked.  Yes, maybe it is time that Clinton itself, after 350 years, can help its own veterans.  Otherwise the bronze plaque in front of the Town Hall is meaningless.
