Chelan Vet Officer

Chelan County veterans have a champion at work

The Chelan County Veteran's Service Office is officially closed to walk-in traffic due to COVID-19, but is still carrying the water for vets in need of assistance. That means CCVSO Tony Sandoval, pictured above, is hard at work behind the scenes showering the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs with requests for medical exams, service connected benefits and most of all, respect from those that sent us. It is still uncertain when the office will open for normal business, but in the meantime, Tony can be reached by calling 509-664-6801. He is always accepting new cases as well as reviewing and appealing old ones if necessary.              Gary Bégin/WBJ
