David Richmond 2:15PM

David Richmond, Director of the Maine Bureau of Veteran Services, discussed his military background and the importance of organizations like Veterans Forward in supporting veterans. He highlighted how Veterans Forward provides immediate solutions where state agencies cannot, such as expediting document fees. Richmond emphasized the bureau’s efforts to connect veterans with services, including recognition events and the upcoming Veterans Outdoor Expo at Cabela’s on November 2. He noted the challenge of reaching veterans who have moved to Maine without the bureau’s knowledge. The radiothon encouraged donations to support these initiatives, with a $1,000 match from Patrick Rockefeller.
