The performance in the first full year of Brazos County’s veteran services officer (VSO) was applauded by county commissioners.

VSO Pam Robertson said in 2024, the office served 4,849 veterans from Brazos and other counties. Robertson said there are 21,357 veterans in the Brazos Valley. Brazos County has 9,327 and there are 4,000 Texas A&M students.

Accomplishments during 2024 included the Brazos County office generated almost $1 million dollars a month in disability payments and more than $3.6 million dollars in retroactive pay to veterans.

That led newly elected county commissioner and retired Army general Bentley Nettles to tell Robertson “you set a pretty high standard for year one. What are you going to do year two?” Robertson replied “hopefully those numbers will double.”

Robertson said they are hosting a veterans resource fair and claims clinic at the Brazos Center on February 17th.
