Wrapping up a 3 day conference with the Massachusetts Veterans’ Service Officer Association (MVSOA) and the Executive Office of Veterans Services (EOVS) in Leominster, MA. Today we are learning about all of the nuances of VA Healthcare eligibility and benefits. It’s tough being out of the office for 3 days but this training will make the Bridgewater Veterans Office more effective and more efficient in serving our veterans and their families.

Since the Badgers page is private I wanted to share their post this way. Suzanne Connors is the team mom of the 8th grade Badgers team. Suzanne, the coaches and players did a phenomenal job. I could not be more proud of them.

From Suzanne:

“***COMMUNITY SERVICE***

The D1 Midgets partnered with Bridgewater's Veterans' Services Office for this year's community service project. Our team was tasked with helping prepare local veterans' gravesites for Veterans Day by inspecting and restoring the American flags placed throughout the town's cemeteries.

Bridgewater is home to more than 1,000 known veteran graves spread across 17 cemeteries. Each Memorial Day, American flags are placed at every one of these graves as a tribute to the men and women who served our country. Over time, however, some flags become damaged, displaced, or lost.

Yesterday, the team visited Bridgewater's three largest cemeteries, Mt. Prospect, St. Thomas, and Old St. Thomas, where the players worked their way through each site, checking every veteran's grave and repositioning or replacing flags as needed.

Before they began, Bridgewater Veterans' Agent Greg Martin met with the players to explain the significance of the work and the importance of honoring those who served. His message helped the team understand that this was about much more than replacing flags. It was about showing respect and gratitude to our nation's veterans.

Over the coming weeks, smaller groups of players will continue the effort by visiting the remaining cemeteries throughout town to ensure that every veteran's gravesite is properly recognized and ready for Veterans Day.

In addition to volunteering their time, the team also raised funds to donate to the Veterans' Services Office to help purchase American flags for next year's placement. We are proud of these young men for giving back to our community and helping ensure that the sacrifices of our veterans are never forgotten.”

Attention family members of a deceased veteran\. Did you know?

"The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of an eligible Veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. A government headstone or marker may also be furnished if the grave has a privately purchased headstone or marker AND the Veteran died on or after November 1, 1990.

Flat markers in granite, marble, and bronze and upright headstones in granite and marble are available. Bronze niche markers are also available to mark columbaria used for inurnment of cremated remains. The style chosen must be permitted by the officials in charge of the private cemetery where it will be placed.

When burial or memorialization is in a national cemetery, state Veterans' cemetery, or military post/base cemetery, a headstone or marker will be ordered by the cemetery officials based on inscription information provided by the next of kin or authorized representative."

I worked with a local widow to order the plaque in the photo attached to this post. If you think your veteran may be eligible, please reach out to the Bridgewater Veteran's Office at 508-697-0908 or email at [email protected]
