I’m filling in for Pat who is taking care of her husband. Many thoughts and Prayers for both of you.

To quote National Legislative chairman Sherry Howland “One of the main objectives of the Legislative program is to improve the lives of our veterans, service members and their families through advocacy”.

What “things” should we be extra concerned about? The VFW Priority Goals and signing up for Action Corps which you can do both by signing into MALTA, Member Resources, Legislative can give you direction. The Priority Goals show the main issues the VFW is working on. The weekly Action Corps gives weekly input and updates on what our Congressmen are doing and other important info.

Many have been reporting, but I hope many more are and have been being proactive. Report what you are doing and if it concerns “bills” please tell what bills you are doing things about.

Hope to see everyone March 16-17 at COA, hosted by Post 1.

Rena Cales
Department Legislative Chairman
