Atmore VA Office To Remain Open

May 26, 2010

The Veterans Administration office in Atmore will remain open, while the office in Brewton will close.

Currently, there are two VA offices in Escambia County (Ala.) — one in the Highway 31 satellite courthouse in Atmore and the second in the courthouse annex in Brewton. The Atmore office is currently open on Mondays and Friday; the Brewton office is open on Thursdays. Both are served by Veterans Affairs Service Officer Mike Hanks who also divides his time with two days each week in Monroe County.

The Veterans Administration  announced last month that one office would close.

Now, in a letter to the Escambia County Commission, Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Clyde Marsh said the Brewton office will close June 24.

    I’m glad they kept Atmore open. There are a lot of veterans around Walnut Hill and Bratt that use Atmore

    Now that is sad. Brewton probably has more Veterans now than it has in a long time. Look how many has served during the last two wars from th Alabama national Guard and the Reserves.
    I do not agree with this discission at all if anything we should be trying to help more so they know what their benefits are and so on. Just my humble opinion.
