This weekend is not about barbecues, the starting of camping season or opening up the lake home, but rather about those no longer with us, those who paid the ultimate price. Even though we don’t have the parades and ceremonies we normally have to honor them, please take a moment, bow your head and thank them for the freedoms you enjoy. Commander Marsha Bryant

Chapter 15 members and fellow veterans, please take the time to go into the community and enjoy some of the benefits/free food set aside for you on this day. You’ve earned it. To those providing these services, we thank you. I saw a post the other day I really liked, went something like this... don’t thank a vet, rather be the American we can be proud of serving. Happy Veterans Day. Commander Marsha Bryant

“We do not believe the BRAC-like model is the most appropriate way to address capital asset needs,” said Joy Ilem, national legislative director for Disabled American Veterans. She said DAV supports making VA “more nimble,” but added Congress should not move forward with an asset closure plan before first determining the future of the Veterans Choice Program and the role of private care in the department’s health care delivery. She added VA should not close any facility before it opens an alternative building or it establishes a private facility partnership.
