THE HANCOCK COUNTY
VETERANS SERVICE COMMISSION
Veterans Service Commissions have been established throughout
the country to provide for the needs of veterans and
their families. Veterans Service officers each represent
one of the five veterans organizations officially chartered
by the U.S. Congress: The American Legion, Amvets, The VFW,
Purple Heart, and the DAV. Commissioners are members of the
organizations they represent and are appointed by judges.

Veterans Service Commissioners Below, I have listed the current representatives for each of the five official Veterans Organizations which comprise the commission. Only these five veterans organizations are chartered by the Congress of the United States. All of these organizations are equal and the commissioners alternate roles as the various officers of the commission. Links to the official national websites for each of these organizations is provided on the Veterans Organization Links page of this website. THE AMERICAN LEGION LARRY KITCHEN is the current commission representative for the American Legion. Larry is the current Commission Treasurer, but is also a past President. He will be coordinating the financial end of this project. THE AMVETS GEORGE LEHMAN is the current commission representative for the Amvets. He is a World War II veteran. We plan to put his expertise in concrete to good use on this project. DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS ROGER NEFF is the current commission representative for the DAV. We are hoping capitalize on his fundraising talents on this project. MILITARY ORDER of the PURPLE HEART NORM WILLIER is the current Purple Heart commission representative. Norm is also a WWII veteran and is the current Commission President. VETERANS of FOREIGN WARS RUSS ESSINGER is the current commission representative for the VFW. Russ is a World War II vet and was Commission President last year when this project finally got off the ground.
