WOOSTER — Know of anyone serving in the military coming back to Wayne County either because their service is up or are returning from deployment? If so, the Veterans Service Commission and the county commissioners would like to know. Four of the five commission members, along with Director Nelson Weirick and service officer Jeff Shull, met with the county commissioners Monday to go over the upcoming budget, but most of the discussion focused on the office and the veterans served. In Ohio, veterans service commissions can ask for up to one-half mill of funding in their counties. Weirick said based on numbers provided by Auditor Jarra Underwood’s office, that figure is nearly $1.2 million. For the 2017 budget, they are asking for just less than …show more content…

Yes, the commission is serving more Vietnam War veterans and fewer World War II and Korean War veterans, Weirick said. Al Miller, an Air Force veteran of Vietnam and service commission member, said up until 10 years ago, he had no clue the organization existed. He was preparing to retire, and he knew he needed something to supplement his insurance. He was told to seek out the veterans service commission. “I learned about it, and now I want to help other veterans,” said Miller, who served as Apple Creek mayor for 18 years. Shull oversees transportation for veterans. Each day, two vans carry veterans to VA facilities in Canton and Cleveland. Those who come into the office seeking immediate assistance for emergencies can get help with their mortgage, utilities and food. Weirick said those in need are also referred to People to People Ministries, Community Action Wayne/Medina and Job & Family Services. There is collaboration with other organizations to make sure those who need help receive help. Wiggam said he liked the collaboration so money is available for those who truly need it.

Summary Chapter 5-9 According to Stocks for the Long Run, U.S. history is divided into three sub periods 1802-1870, 1870-1925 and 1926-1990, and Siegel analyzes the returns on stocks, bonds, and other assets classes over the last two centuries. Over the period from 1802 through 1990, equity provided returns greater to those on fixed income investments, gold or commodities. In addition, the real rate of return on equity held remarkably constant over this period, while the real return on fixed income assets decreased dramatically. Furthermore, over the sub periods 1802-1870, 1870-1925 and 1926-1990, the real compound annual returns on equity were 5.7, 6.6 and 6.4 percent; however, the real returns on short-term government bonds dropped. Thus, the magnitude of the excess return on equity during this century seems excessive relative to the behavior of other macroeconomic variables.

Veteran Benefits The issue of veteran benefits in the United States is not taken as seriously as it should be in our country, even though it is a growing problem that needs to be addressed. The lack of available funding for veterans is especially obvious when compared to that available for lower income citizens, or even illegal immigrants. Also, what does exist appears to fall short in taking care of veteran’s needs. Considering that these veterans are people who have risked their lives fighting for this country, the fact that they are not receiving immediate benefits or even what they have earned is unfair.

They argue that the government should not be spending significant amounts of money to veterans or people that just came out of war. While they acknowledge that some veterans are so psychologically damaged by their experiences in battle that they cannot function properly in society and require disability payments, other veterans, they say, may become unnecessarily dependent on veterans' services. Although, all these are valid arguments that they can make, in the long run by helping veterans out it will greatly impact not only veterans individually but the society in a positive

Once veteran’s return home they receive several benefits, such as education, disability compensation, and low-cost medical care. Each are specific due to how they benefit each veteran, but not all are capable of fully providing the veteran. Veterans receive benefits based on discharge from active military service other than dishonorable conditions. Active service must be serving full time as a member under several branches, Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, or as a commissioned officer of the Public Health Service, Environmental Services Administration or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
