Veterans living in Orange County and Los Angeles County, Calif., have a new resource for dealing with pre-deployment, post-deployment and reintegration needs, said Army Brig. Gen. (Ret.) James Combs. The Veterans Service Center, opened this year, was created to assist the area’s massive veteran population. With approximately 3,000 enlistees from the area joining across the military services each month, and roughly the same number discharging out each month, the need for a comprehensive facility is huge. “This area is one of the primary producers of military personnel to all services,” Combs said.  Audio(Mp3)
