Calling ALL GULF WAR VETS with issues at VA or your claims..........Sept 24-25 VA's New Gulf War Veterans Advisory Committee meets in DC and we need YOU!  Face to Face making comments to this committee!

I am doing all I can to get this organized.....I need you to fill out the form
http://gulfwarcouncil.com/gulf_war_rac_meetings_and_travel.htm
 
So we can know how many are going to try to do all they can to come.
 
I am working on donations to help on hotel or gas  expense.  I need you all to sign up on the form if you are interested so we can move ahead with getting block of rooms.
 
I got a call and have been offerred a donation to get us started.  I will use that for covering rooms to start with.  I will get more support if I can show them how many want to come.
I need maybe 30 vets!  I have contact with 9 now many of those have not signed up!
 
This is the first time we are trying to help individuals organize and get there....Before we kept you all infoed on meetings but this time we need your hot and tired and frustrated bodies in person!
 
The meeting in DC is the second meeting and your insight, your story and your suggestions for improvement are desperately needed to set this committee on course!
 
Please sign up if you are wanting to do this, we desperately desperately need you the individual gulf war veterans to come and that is why I am trying also to help to raise funds also to help you.
 
Then I need you to make yourself known to VFW,DAV,VVA, Legion posts......to ask for their help.
I will need you to let me know which post you contact and if they are willing to help. If you get turned down maybe I can help.....but I will need contact info to do this. Since they each have a person sitting on this committee and it is being covered in their magazines they should offer some assistance..........
 
With assistance local and at other national levels we hope to help you but you have to make effort too.

Please pass this email to widest extent possible to gulf war veterans....service officers----organizations etc......
 
I am doing this and Gail offered BB space to help individual gulf war vets get organized.
This is to help each gulf war veteran  and organizations can and or welcomed and encouraged to pull together too!  WE started this as soon as I got back in June so all would have adequate time to get involved.  If you are going to fly get your tickets early that will save money.
We will try to group people together if you want to drive and share expense.  Also alternatives  bus and train should be checked for cheaper ways. 
 
WE will do all we can to help!
