Veterans Service Officer Robert.ladd@co.howard.in.us	Hi, I’m Bob Ladd, Veterans Service Officer for Howard County. I would like to personally welcome you to our website and encourage you to look around and see if we may be able to assist you in any way with a claim or information about other issues you may have since leaving the military. Please contact my office if you have additional questions as we are always happy to assist the veterans in any way we can.
	When you come into the County Veterans Services Office you will be referred to a service officer for assistance. The County Veterans Service Officer has a compassionate understanding of the problems, which confront veterans, widows, widowers, and children. The County Veterans Service Officer knows the extent, the meaning and the application of laws that have been passed by the U.S, Congress in the interests of veterans and their dependents. They also know the rules and regulations adopted by the Department of Veterans Affairs to clarify and implement those laws. The County Veterans Service Officer will apply specialized knowledge in the best way suited to the needs of every individual veteran or other beneficiary who comes to the office for assistance.
