Governor Announces New Surveys To Help With Veteran Information.
Governor Brian Sandoval announce new online surveys during Veterans Day Ceremonies at the Nevada State Veterans Home in Boulder City on Monday. The surveys are intended to gather more information about veterans' needs in order for State and local assistance programs help develop better methods to address veterans issues throughout Nevada. "If Nevada is going to best meet the needs of our service members and veterans, then we need to find out from them what they need most," said Governor Sandoval. "In order to do that, my office has created online surveys, one of Nevada's service members and their families and one of Nevada's veteran community, that will allow all of you to help shape our efforts at the state level going forward."
