Guadalupe County unveils news Veterans Outreach Center Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – If you want to know what veterans think about the new Guadalupe County Veterans Outreach Center, then just ask 12th Sgt. Major of the Marine Corps Gene Overstreet. Overstreet, a resident of Guadalupe County, served as the guest speaker during Wednesday’s grand opening of the new service center located at 205 E. Weinert Street. Ribbon cutting ceremonies and a tour of the facility were part of the opening celebration for the center which will serve as a one stop shop for veterans. Overstreet says there’s no better gift to veterans than this one-of-a-kind center that brings a huge menu of services to them locally. “If you look at America today, the propensity to serve is almost down to seven percent and if you look at the people that are qualified to serve, that’s down. Only about 17 percent of America can serve today because
if you look at the age group that we are looking at, if you take out the kids that have been in trouble with the law, the kids that have been on drugs, the kids that can’t pass a test, illiteracy, kids that failed out of high school – things like that – the military now, we only take high school graduates. That’s at starting and you have to pass a drug test and we have more veterans here in Guadalupe County than Hays County has, and Comal County has so this is a very patriotic county right here and we need to keep that going. I think this is one of the ways to keep it going because the young kids will see ‘Okay, look at that. They are taking care of those veterans. They are taking care of those who went to serve and with the menu of services that they offer here, what a great collage of bringing them all together. Now, we can go to one place and get just about anything you need,” said Overstreet. VOC, pg. 3
