Effingham Mayor Jeff Bloemker has proclaimed September 9-10 as 2016 Forget-Me-Not Days.

The Disabled American Veterans offers free service to disabled veterans and their families in filing claims for government benefits and assists disabled veterans with medical, employment and other problems. The DAV has chosen September 9 and 10 for its annual "Forget-Me-Not" campaign in Effingham.

"Thank you so much to the good people at the DAV for making sure the rest of our community doesn't forget the life-changing sacrifices made by our disabled veterans," stated Mayor Bloemker. "Please support them in their fundraising efforts this month."
