Last Thursday we were joined by over 80 Veterans and family members
for our weekly lunch at Libby’s restaurant in Goldsby.
As usual everyone enjoyed the meal and the fellowship with their fellow
Veterans.
Our volunteer drivers were able to help 3 men who needed rides to
the OK City VA hospital last week.
There were visitors from Indiana,
Arkansas
and California
who stopped by to find out about VA benefits. I believe that our benefit
counselors were able to help them with their claims. We were able to
process 55 claims for our Veterans.
We continue to see more men and women that have served in the Gulf
and Afghanistan Wars. These young men and women may
need more help as time goes on. Most of them are just glad to be
home and have not thought about the problems that war sometimes causes.
If you know of someone who was recently discharged tell them about
the service that we provide for them. Everything that we do is free and
is for the benefit of our Veterans, We owe these young men and women our
thanks for doing a very tough job.
I have been thinking of the men who were aboard the USS OKLAHOMA on
December 7, 1941.
There Memorial was dedicated last week and it brings to the forefront the
sacrifices these men gave for our country. We can never thank our
Veterans and Military members enough for the sacrifices they have made.
There were 2 brothers who have joined our staff recently Joe Green
of Tuttle and Robert Green of Purcell were welcomed on board last week.
