STATE
The office provides benefits
to needy veterans and their families under Massachusetts
General Law, Chapter 115.
We work with the veteran in
order to overcome barriers to employment.
The office works with such
agencies as DET, the Department of Transitional Assistance,
the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission as well as state
and federal hospitals and physicians in all matters of health
issues. Attention is given to veterans or widows in local
nursing homes.
We flag veterans' graves on
Memorial Day and Veteran's Day November 11.
Flags and wreaths are placed
at twenty-seven Veterans Memorials within the Town of Scituate.
