Caddo Parish, La. — Caddo Parish Commissioner Ken Epperson, Sr. has been appointed to the National Association of Counties (NACo) Veterans and Military Service Advisory Council by NaCo President George Dunlap.

As member of the council, Epperson will assist in the development of best practices and policies to promote innovative programs, services and benefits for our nation’s military, veterans and their families.

“I am honored to be appointed by President Dunlap to represent Caddo Parish and all of our veterans,” said Epperson. “We are indebted to the service and sacrifices of all of our veterans, in Caddo Parish and beyond, and it is our duty to continue to support them every step of the way,” said Epperson.
