The Maryland Veterans Commission was first established by Chap-
ter 344, Acts of 1924 and was reorganized by Chapter 803, Acts of
1946. The Commission was further reorganized by Chapter 310, Acts
of 1966. It is composed of seven members appointed by the Governor,
who designates the Chairman. All members must be veterans. The
Commission appoints the State Service Officer, who serves as admin-
istrative director of the agency. The State Commanders of the
American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Disabled Ameri-
can Veterans, the Spanish-American War Veterans, the World War I
Veterans, the Catholic War Veterans, and the Jewish War Veterans
serve as an advisory committee to the Commission.
The Commission administers a fund, appropriated annually to pro-
vide the necessities of life to distressed veterans, widows of veterans
and their infant children, to provide medical care for those who are
ill, and funeral expenses for deceased veterans. The agency also assists
veterans and their dependents in securing Federal aid to which they
may be entitled. The Commission maintains a permanent registry of
graves of all persons who served in the military or naval forces of the
country in time of war and are buried in Maryland (Code 1967, 1964
