When Americans agree to serve their country, their country also makes an agreement to serve them when their time in the military ends, Tri-Town Veterans Agent Chris Gerrior believes.
Sworn in last week and replacing retired longtime veterans agent Barry Denham, Gerrior helps provide service to those who served in his new role with Marion, Mattapoisett and Rochester.
Gerrior, a Rochester native who graduated from Old Rochester Regional High School in 1993, spent 24 years in the Navy before retiring three years ago.
