If elected this fall, the federal Liberal Party plans to re-open nine closed veterans affairs offices, including the one in Windsor.
That's only part of a plan unveiled this morning, that will see $265-million invested in initiatives to assist veterans.
Veteran Eric Cross says having the closest veterans affairs office located in London has been tough.
"They sent me a 17-page document that they tell me to have myself fill out," explains Cross. "It comes by mail, but I can't even participate. They have no consideration for anybody who doesn't have (full) movement and speech."
A couple other highlights of the Liberal plan include re-establishing lifelong pensions for injured veterans and $100-million per year to expand support for families of veterans.
Windsor West Liberal Candidate David Sundin joined Windsor-Tecumseh's Frank Schiller and Essex candidate Audrey Festeryga in front of Windsor's abandoned veterans affairs office downtown for this morning's announcement.
