A new veterans resource center has opened in Cache Valley â itâs the first of its kind in the state and region.
The Dan Gyllenskog Veterans Resource Center serves more than 15,000 veterans in five counties: Oneida, Rich, Box Elder, Cache County and Franklin in Idaho.
Paul LaMont, who lives near Logan, is one of the veterans who will reap the benefits of the center.
Anyone who spends time with LaMont quickly realizes three words describe him best: loves to serve.
The 80-year-old worked as a police officer for 43 years and a police Chief for 15 years.
Community members packed the new Dan Gyllenskog Veterans Resource Center on Wednesday in celebration of its grand opening.
Phil Redlinger, the CEO and co-founder of the Cache Valley Veterans Association, told the crowd the resource center represented a dream fulfilled and offered his thanks to the many contributors who helped make it a reality.
âThis center has been in the works for a couple of years, but it is finally here,â Redlinger said to the crowd. âMy heart is so very excited.â
