Once again the republicans consider women second class citizens.

It seems that Republicans don’t like the ladies. Even and especially those who serve it seems. Maybe, those ladies will have their day at the ballot box soon .

House Republicans Block Inclusion of Women Veterans in New VA Mooto. This article and the others mentioned, highlight the issues that divide this nation, political parties and even The American Legion. I presume reading some of the articles of the same topic in other sections of the country might suggest different outcomes; differences I wouldn’t have seen a decade or two ago.

We 65+ Vets already know all these “needs” you wrote about I was hoping to actually read something–anything–that”s naming someone/some place to contact to actually get such help, but NO. I can’t even get the San Diego VA to give me a ride to the hospital (I have no other way to get there) to meet with the Neurological Dept. re my recent stroke because I only have a 10% rating, which apparently, appears to have nothing to do with the stroke.

Tuskegee Airmen: Trailblazing heroes who soared through adversity with courage and excellence.

The boy scouts of America were on local Abc7 and on Abc Network News thats good. The bad part is that at the end they unrolled the flag displaying the stars to the right. However flag protocol calls for the stars to be on the left

I’d love to see a photo or two of the restored memorial.

Well this is my second time. Maybe alternative views are not important? My American Legion post has checked out drones and light shows. Very expensive and not liked very much when compared to fireworks shows. Many locales that tried them went back to fireworks. As you know, Washington, DC has a July 4th show every year and thousands attend and most of them are veterans. The fireworks shows are twice as long as our local show and everyone seems to survive. New York has one that is 3 times as long and 100 times as big and millions of people and dogs survive. To those who have PTSD and a 20 minute fireworks show disturbs you I suggest getting something to relax you. Fireworks is what people want, not drones, since before 1800. Listen to the cheering and hollering at a fireworks show and it tells what people like and the answer is fireworks.
