COLUMBUS, Ind. — Bartholomew County’s first full-time veteran services officer has been fired.
Tom Crawford was terminated from his position as head of the Bartholomew County Veteran Services Office by the Bartholomew County commissioners Monday morning, commissioners chairman Larry Kleinhenz said. The decision was effective immediately.
The veteran services officer is generally charged with helping veterans wade through federal rules and appeals processes when they seek benefits linked to their military careers, including health care and disability payments.
