A veterans official who visits in Texas County was recently selected as regional supervisor for the southeast district of Missouri.
Joe Dailey replaces Bill Palmer, who retired. The region includes 28 counties from the Bootheel to a region that includes Pulaski, Phelps and Texas counties. Dailey will have offices at Fort Leonard Wood and Cape Girardeau. Ten veteran service officers cover the 28 counties.
Alfredia Williams is the newest service officer in the area, and she will also serve in Texas and Pulaski counties. A 24-year Army veteran, she worked with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs at Fort Leonard Wood while earning a master’s degree in mental health counseling before joining the Missouri Veterans Commission.
Miriam Flores, an administrative assistant to Dailey and Williams, replaces Karen Montgomery of Cabool, who retired.
Dailey and Williams will see veterans at the Texas County Courthouse from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursdays. They can be reached by phone at 417-967-2112 or at their offices at Fort Leonard Wood at 573-596-0193 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
