I will be on vacation in Ventura and Santa Cruz, California until September 3rd, 2011.  Thank you for all of your support in the past year.

While, this column is not the Tucson Citizen’s Blue Chip Blog, it has been read consistently and by way of feedback has achieved its original mission, which is advocacy for veterans and the creation of an open dialogue regarding all matters that impact the life of veterans, their families, and our nation.  I have learned as much from the readers as I have offered. That is the clear and present beauty of blogging. Sort of like sitting in a coffee shop mulling over current events.

On a humorous note, one time last Fall, Veteran Veritas had as many readers as the sports blogs. It was Veterans Day and Marine Corps birthday,which helped a bunch.  I was elated. Then my son called and mentioned the reason may have been that the U of A lost that week!

See you in September.  Mike
