Meet Your County Veterans' Affairs Offices

Cherokee County

Todd Humphries

"As a Veteran myself, serving others is my passion and has been my life’s mission. I enjoy helping the Veterans and their dependents with the benefits they have earned while serving their Nation. There isn’t any job I found as rewarding than serving our Veterans. I am blessed every day that I can do something that I love and enjoy."

Diane Wilson

Cherokee County Deputy Affairs' Officer

“I am so blessed to be able to assist and serve our Veterans. This privilege is a small amount of payment for what they have done for us. I have made so many friends while working here for the past 10 years and each one holds a special place in my heart. I will always be grateful for all the sacrifices they have made to keep us safe."

Daniel Branham

Cherokee County Veterans' Affairs Clerk

"I enjoy working at our county Veterans Affair’s office because it provides me a connection and opportunity to serve fellow veterans, their families and those who are transitioning from the military."

Colleton County

Janet D. Smith

Colleton County Veterans' Affairs Officer

“It’s a tremendous honor to serve our Veterans and their families. The staff at Colleton County Veterans Affairs is committed to providing quality and professional customer service. We are here to serve. To the Veteran who frequently needs another copy of his DD Form 214 and verification of income or the spouse who just lost her husband after 50 years of marriage, Team Colleton exemplifies one voice - every individual is treated with respect, dignity and compassion. We stand ready to ensure that our Veterans Community receive the benefits and services that the rightfully deserve.”

Dorchester County

Cynthia M. Busby

"I whole heartedly feel that a Veteran deserves a true advocate to assist them in getting the benefits they have earned and deserve. I know what my job is to take care of the many men and women who have already taken care of me. It is an honor to serve on this platform as County Veterans Affairs Officer for Dorchester County."

Ashley Hanna

Dorchester County Veterans' Service Officer

“I love to be able to assist and to provide information of the possible eligibility of VA benefits that a veteran may be entitled to receive. It is rewarding when we find that this VA benefit can be the difference in a Veteran or Widow’s life of financial assistance of keeping their home or providing food on the table for their family or health care benefits.”

Jennifer Durham

Dorchester County Administrative Assistant

“I love my job as an Administrative Assistant for Dorchester County. I am the first point of contact by phone or by walk in of a client and get great satisfaction when the Veteran or family member says, 'Thank you for your help' It gives me even more satisfaction to say,
'No, Thank You For your Service, it’s the least I can do…'”

Hampton County

Betty W. Hodges

Hampton County Veterans' Affairs Officer

"I have had the privilege of serving the Veterans in Hampton County (and other counties) for over 28 years. Hampton County VA Office appreciates all the Veterans who have given service, and to those who have given their lives in service for the citizens of the United States of America. We assist Veterans in filing claims, survivor, educational, and burial benefits. We are here to assist veterans' and their families. We listen when a veteran may only want to talk about his or her situation. It is good when Veterans realize we really mean it when we say, 'We Appreciate Your Service.'"
