According to the digital edition of the Fall River Herald, the city is welcoming its first female veterans service officer who will take the reins over from retired VSO and former city councilor Ray Hague, who has held the position since 2011. 

Micaila Britto, a marine for more than six years before a service-related traumatic brain injury forced her to leave the military, was the VSO in Raynham and said she looks forward to a new challenge helping military veterans here in Fall River.
