Forrest County (Mississippi) Board of Supervisors: Veterans in the Board Record

The office's monthly report. The Board's minutes acknowledge the Veterans Service Office among the monthly department reports - "The Veterans Report, as submitted by Gerald Britt, Forrest County Veterans Service Officer" (March 16, 2026), "The Veterans Report, as submitted by Gerald Britt" (April 20, 2026), and, after the succession, "The Veteran's Report, as submitted by Russ Williams, Veterans Service Officer" (August 3, 2026). The reports themselves are acknowledged, not printed. The exemption correction. The Board's April 6, 2026 consent agenda, under Tax Assessor: "Acknowledge receipt of letter for and on behalf of Ceaphus Abram, Jr. He originally signed homestead exemption in 2023 as being a Disabled Veteran. The second parcel was left off of his application. He purchased 2 split lots, which caused confusion. Please allow the DAV exemption on Parcel No 3-020P-34-016.01 for year 2025. Please cancel said receipt since he would owe no taxes, as submitted by Tax Assessor, Mary Ann Palmer." The DAV route is the State's 100%-disabled-veteran exemption (Miss. Code 27-33-67); the Board's action restored it to the second parcel. The succession. The May 18, 2026 minutes' personnel actions record "Gerald Britt (Veteran's Office) - Deceased - Effective Date: 5/8/2026"; the July 6, 2026 minutes acknowledge "Russell Williams, VSO, as Requisitioner for Veteran's Office"; and the August 3 minutes record the resignation of Jody Dorsey of the Veterans Office, effective July 27, 2026.
