On Aug. 28, 1989, the Missouri Division of Veterans Affairs became the Missouri Veterans Commission with an expanded benefits program for all Missouri veteran residents.
Quoted from their website:
“The Missouri Veterans Commission is a state agency established by Missouri statute to aid all veterans, their dependents and legal representatives by providing information regarding the rights of veterans and their dependents and to assist veterans accessing their available benefits through state and federal government.
The Missouri Veterans Commission will provide our veterans with timely benefits assistance, skilled nursing care and a final resting place with honor.”

I found out about this by browsing through the American Legion website; I hope it helps fellow veterans out there find what they need.
