HURON — All Beadle County veterans, as well as other area veterans, are invited to Veterans Outreach events planned in both Redfield and Huron this week.
The 38-foot Mobile Vet Center provides a place to meet that is both confidential and private.

The Veterans Outreach will be at the Spink County Courthouse in Redfield on Wednesday, Jan. 17, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and at the Beadle County Courthouse from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 18.
Doug McCuddin of Sioux Falls and Jeff Gorr of Rapid City, Outreach Specialists with the Vet Centers, will be on hand to provide combat veterans with information on Vet Center counseling services and referral materials to other VA and Community agencies.
The Vet Center Program was established by Congress in 1979 out of the recognition that a significant number of Vietnam-era vets were still experiencing readjustment problems. Vet Centers are community-based and part of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The goal of the Vet Center program is to provide counseling, outreach, and referral services to eligible veterans in order to help them make a satisfying postwar readjustment to civilian life.
Family members of all combat veterans are eligible for Vet Center services as well. Veterans are invited to stop in and meet Beadle County’s new Veteran Service Officer, Taylor Jans.
