Missouri has no county veterans service officers in statute; the Missouri Veterans Commission's officers do the work (see the Missouri entry). The Commission's service officer locator's office record lists the Poplar Bluff office at 1903 Northwood Drive, Suite 6, Poplar Bluff, MO 63901, serving "Butler, Wayne, Carter, Ripley, Dunklin, Pemiscot" counties: Kevin Shepherd, Veteran Service Officer ([email protected]), 573-778-9689, Monday to Thursday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to noon, under supervisor Michael Probst. The record was last edited March 7, 2025, so call ahead. The office is in Butler County, a long drive from Caruthersville; the Commission's nearer Sikeston office lists New Madrid, Scott, Mississippi and Stoddard, not Pemiscot, and the Pemiscot County site names no local outreach day, so ask the Poplar Bluff office about telephone or visiting appointments. What the help is. Free claims help with VA compensation, pension, survivor and burial benefits, and appeals. No rating is needed to ask.
