UPDATES

This page will be edited and updated periodically to keep everyone informed of any changes or news affecting the meetings.  If you are active in your local veterans service organization or other veterans organization, you might consider asking them to help you (and others in your area) with travel and cost to DC for these events. (Not saying they WILL help, but it doesn't hurt to ask)
