Veterans Recognition Program
(The following correspondence is from Nassau County Clerk Maureen O'Connell to Post Commander Robert E. Dishman.)
Dear Post Commander:
As the Nassau County Clerk, I would like to take this opportunity and ask that you inform your membership of an important service that is available to veterans and provides an opportunity to support local business.
As you may know, the county clerk's office records and secures veterans discharge papers (DD-214) free of charge so that veterans and their families may obtain a certified copy (legally equivalent to the original) of these vital records should the need arise. As part of an initiative launched by my office, veterans are invited to come and record their discharge papers conveniently, and close to home.
In conjunction with this service the county clerk's office has established a Veterans Recognition Program to show appreciation to veterans for their sacrifices to preserve and protect freedom. When a veteran's DD-214 is recorded they are given a card enabling them to receive discounts on goods and services at participating businesses throughout the county.
