Letter: Introducing the Grafton Veterans Advisory Committee

On September 7, 2021, the Town of Grafton Select Board voted to create a Veterans Advisory Committee. It is the mission of the committee to educate our residents and all elected and appointed officials regarding specific areas of interest that impact our veterans and suggest programming and outreach regarding those specific areas of interest. We also assist the Veterans Services Officer (VSO), acting as a liaison between members of the community and the VSO.

To accomplish our mission, we must work together with our local veterans and other veteran and town organizations that are already helping our community. With that in mind, we wanted to introduce ourselves, the committee members:  Justin Stone, Chair; Bob Detoma, Vice Chair; Shawn McAvey, Clerk; Jim Gallagher, Lucas Remillard, and Ed Piekielek. We welcome the opportunity to work with you solving the issues affecting our veterans to ensure our they receive the care and assistance they deserve. Please feel free to contact us by email at VeteransAdvisory@grafton-ma.gov.
