Before Memorial Day, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland signed a law that will create the new Ohio Department of Veterans Services. Previously, the state's veterans services ran through the governor's office, more of an unusual arrangement based on what I've seen. The new department aims to give veterans in the state a more centralized organization to assist them - if you're from there, hopefully this sounds like good news to you. They further look to fight to bring federal veteran benefits to the state. This is one of the more comprehensive moves I've seen as states step up their commitments to their veterans; all the best to them, and have a great week!
