John Schmidt attended the grand opening of the new Disabled American Veterans (DAV) facility in Freeburg yesterday, alongside Superintendent John Lawson and Mike Gomric from the Veterans Assistance Commission of St. Clair County. DAV facilitated assistance for over one million veterans and their families in 2024, highlighting its role as a significant supporter of veteran rights and resources.

"DAV's free, professional assistance helps veterans and their families get the benefits they've earned. For more than 100 years, DAV has been a strong and influential advocate for veterans' rights and benefits," Schmidt stated. The organization aims to offer proper support to veterans to positively impact their lives.

The State of Illinois provides various resources for veterans and their families through federal, state, and local services. Schmidt encourages veterans to contact his office if they require further assistance, with a dedicated team available at 217-782-8071.
