I just hired a personal trainer today and he gave me affirmation of my expectations for the entire 2 hour workout….but then I am paying him!!

One should not write so late at night I guess. I made the correction.

The beat goes on. Good to hear that the idea still has merit. Send me the dates of any new ones and I will post them here. God Bless you for being one of the caring ones.

I think that you may remember me.  I was the one who scheduled our three Veteran’s Forums.    

Since then I have had six veterans’ “forums” in which the regional manager of the Southern Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services has spoken to veterans, their wives/husbands, and widows/widdowers, and families.  The topics included, but were not limited to, Veteran’s Pension Benefits and the Aid and Attendance Program, Veteran’s Service Connected Disabilities and Compensation and Widowed Spouses’ Benefits, and Burial Benefits and Widow/Widdower Benefits.   The last of these presentations took place in November 2011.  Unfortunately, despite ever increasing publicity, these programs were sparsely attended. 

Even though  I remain disappointed over the lack of attendance, I am planning to schedule more programs, as veterrans are arriving home continuously.

If they weren’t having soccer riots they would be getting out machine guns.
