Advisory committee WASHINGTON DC SEPT 24-25 urgent message
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
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!
