County VA officer reports services and outlines courthouse veterans memorial plan
Summary
Brad Hubert presented a quarterly/end‑year report on veterans served in Emmons County and proposed a courthouse display area for veterans' photos and memorial information; commissioners expressed support and asked for further cost and design details.
Brad Hubert, the county VA officer, presented his quarterly and roughly year‑end report, including service volumes and training updates. Hubert provided comparative veteran counts (two sources reported different totals: one figure of 217 veterans and another of 252 for Emmons County) and summarized program activity, outreach and training hours. He estimated that, against a modest county VA budget of roughly $42,500, the VA’s services and referrals produced nearly $2.7 million in direct and indirect services for veterans in the county (figures are estimates and vary with methodology).
Hubert proposed a small veterans memorial in the southeast corner of the courthouse basement, using rotating picture boards and possible accompanying writeups; he said the project would need more detailed cost estimates and partner support from the American Legion and VFW. Commissioners praised the work and urged Hubert to refine costs and a plan for installation.
No formal funding decision was made in the meeting; Hubert said he would return with additional details to the board.
