Sunday, November 1^st marked the halfway point of the 21 County Veterans tour. The day focused on a visit to Commissioner Solomeno’s home American Legion - Keyport American Legion Raritan Post 23. Accompanying the Commissioner were Deputy Commissioner Chucaralao and Veteran Service Officer Pete Midgeley.

The event included members of the post and the broader community coming out to engage with the team. As with each stop, the primary goal is to keep the Veterans in the community aware of the work NJDVA is doing and ensure all questions related to benefits they have earned are answered. 

Of particular interest at this post were the pre-registration processes for the Veterans Memorial Homes across the state and the Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery.  The NJDVA team shared that pre-registration helps loved ones in a difficult time manage the process of ensuring both the veteran and their spouse receive the care and honors owed.

Following the town hall, The Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner joined members of the post in barbecuing lunch for all attendees.
