Quotes from around the Web
I think it’s great that we have something set up to try and help our veterans and fallen heroes, and I hope that we can have the opportunity to apply for the funds so that we can better help our veterans in need—Vincent Perez, Waco Tribune-Herald
We really want to make sure that veterans around the state get helped, so we want organizations that have the structure to reach out to all the rural areas as well as the big cities … We’re looking at immediate hardship needs, and we just want to make sure every area of the state is covered.
We’ve been surprised at the response … In some parts of the state, the scratch-off ticket has completely sold out. It’s been a very positive response, so it’s giving us a chance to get this money out in March. We’re really happy that it has happened so quickly.
The county doesn’t have a slush fund or any type of funding stream or budget set up to continually be able to do that … I think (the veterans fund) is a great idea because there are some extraordinary circumstances that arise in the normal, day-to-day life that our veterans are facing, and it would be nice to have some sort of setup like this instead of searching for entities that could or could not help.
I think it’s a good idea to spread it out to the VFW’s and the other veterans organizations because they can probably better evaluate closer the needs of the veterans, as they represent them
