Kenneth W. Birdsong, a World War II and Korean War veteran, was elected chairman of the Georgia State Veterans Service Board. He will lead the seven-member board, which overseas the Georgia Department of Veterans Service, until at least April 2011.
Birdsong was a longtime Georgia state legislator, representing Bibb, Jones, Twiggs, and Wilkinson counties.
He will represent a large group of veterans who use a lot of benefits, if last year was any indication.
A news release from the Georgia Department of Veterans Service last week announced that Georgia veterans used $3.12 billion in benefits in 2009.
According to the Veterans Administration, the state of Georgia has 772,832 veterans
