VA field office was due on post
Fort Campbell is getting its own Tennessee Department of Veterans Affairs field office, and it's about time.
Montgomery County veterans have had to drive to either Dickson or Nashville regarding benefits.
While those are not, of course, particularly long drives, with all of the veterans who decide to retire or start a second career in this community, it was ridiculous that Fort Campbell didn't have a field office before now.
The new office is at 5661 Screaming Eagle Blvd. on post. For more information, call the Department of Veterans Affairs at 615-741-6663.
Primarily, the office will help file benefit claims for soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and transitioning out of service. It also will help family members who may be entitled to federal benefits.
Anything that can help speed up the bureaucracy will be welcome.
