The Sumter County Board of County Commissioners established the Veteran's Service Office in 1946. However, it was combined with the Civil Defense Department, then later became an independent county public service department. Since its establishment in 1946 the Veterans' Service Office began with a Veterans' Service Officer who assisted local Veterans with their needs. Presently the Veterans' Service Office Department is staffed with a Department Manager, Veterans' Service Officer, Assistant Veterans' Service Officer and Veterans Counselors.
