Veterans' Advisory Joint Committee
As authorized by Connecticut General Statute 27-135, the towns of Guilford and Madison have appointed a Joint Veteran’s Advisory Committee to:
- act as the coordinating agency in all matters concerning veterans and their dependents, coordinating the activities of public and private facilities concerned with veterans' reemployment, education, rehabilitation and adjustment to peacetime living;
- cooperate with all national, state and local governmental and private agencies in securing services and benefits to which a veteran or his dependents may be entitled;
- use the services and facilities of the veterans organizations so far as possible to carry out the purposes of this section; and
