ALLEGAN, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – One of the more overlooked services provided by the Allegan County Clerk’s Office has been a point of emphasis for Bob Genetski in his first year on the job.
The former state lawmaker from Saugatuck has been promoting the free availability for honorably discharged veterans to receive documentation from his office of their service to this country if they had lost their original documents. During 2017, there were 44 such requests, more than the total amount of the last seven years combined. “It has been my honor and thrill to get to know so many of these men and women as they’ve come down and processed those (DD-214 forms),” Genetski said on “WHTC’s Talk of the Town” with Ed Ver Schure late last year.
The previous high was 13 in 2007. Genetski’s office has DD-214 papers going back to the Civil War.
