Veterans Service Center Opens In Easton

EASTON — The new Easton Service Center for the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs Service Program officially opened in downtown Easton on Friday, Nov. 15, bringing earned benefits to an estimated 8,500 Eastern Shore veterans a year.

U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., spoke at the grand opening ceremony on Friday in Easton and said that Veterans Day is a day to pause and give thanks to the men and women who’ve served in the military, but that “we have other responsibilities.”

“Our military, when they return home, our warriors, should be greeted here as heroes. There should be a job waiting for them. They should be entitled to the very best health care. They should be able to get all of that, and Veterans Day is a day to recognize, but we should honor our veterans every day of the year,” Cardin said. “That’s what this Easton Service Center is all about — a commitment from our community to our veterans that we are going to be with them every day and their families.”
