Jared is the senior editor and web team lead for the Department of California and chair of its Media & Communications Commission. He became a member of the American Legion in 2014 when he joined Palisades Post 283 to find stories about veterans issues for a local newspaper while working as its news editor. He was soon brought in as 283's assistant adjutant and historian to help produce the post's award-winning community newspaper. Since then, Jared has used his media skills to help further the efforts of The American Legion in its advocacy of veterans and their families. Jared has also worked for several years to help revitalize the 100-year-old Santa Monica Post 123, formerly as its adjutant and as a member of its executive board, before transferring back to Post 283.

It would be easy if a member needed help badly and this e-mail expertly, and quickly explained the help that is presented, without 10 to 12 other programs that may also be included, one at a time. Currently, my problems are all things related to California’s naturally disadvantaged over the last few weeks. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the fact that we, in the American Legion have some great giving by its members, relevantly, relieved, and to the point of being looked at on several sides for the best outcomes for all. Simply addressing one major point at a time. My head is still trying to wrap around all the different points of concern. Such as the damage suspicion to my home now, loss of property to fences, trees, and electrical wiring because a large tree ripped out the system. One at a time seems the starting point, not 10 different things at one time.
