Greg and Dan talk with Brett Grimm, Tazewell County Board Chair, about the VAC (Veterans Assistance Commission) and how many veterans are in need of support right now. He discusses the history of veteran services in the community and stresses that ignorance and negligence are not excuses when it comes to caring for those who served.

Brett compares the level of assistance in Peoria County versus Tazewell County, noting that the number of veterans receiving help in Tazewell County needs to be higher. He also explains his specific role and how he is personally involved in improving support for local veterans.

If you’d like to help, call the County Board Office or the Veterans Assistance Commission (VAC) for more information.
