My father had been getting a small disability claim over the past couple of years from WW II. He passed away in June of 08 at which time I contacted the VA and...
The Far West Chapter Reunion will be help in Reno, NV from October 18-21, 2009. All MP's are invited, we are expecting about 12 of our 23rd MP's to be...
I have no idea, Dan, but just let me rail against the VA and their utter incompetence, regardless of who is President. They never seem to change, but hey,...
Dan, this sounds familiar. The amount is for a 10% disability and getting the payment stopped could be quite a chore. When I was in college, the VA sent me...
I agree with Wes and document,document,document. If this isn't something you're comfortable with, contact your county veterans service office. They may be able...
All this money floating around and nobody wants it? Maybe I'm not thinking as level headed as Tom and Wes, but did I hear somebody say that Danny was buying...
Shhhhhhhh! The VA Police may be listening.LOL Paul, Am I reading into this that you will be joining us in Shreveport? I made my hotel reservation and sent the...
Tom, My summer calendar has been pretty much booked solid for a while now. If I do get to Shreveport it will be a last minute thing. I wish all those attending...
Oh Boy, keep the truck fueled up Danny, looks like there could be a Run-Dan-Run showdown if Dale has his way. LOL BTW, All, October 7-10 are the dates for the...
What's the consesus about Sat night? Considering disappointment at recent banquets concerning food quality and length of speechafying(the best line of JAX was...
I paid for the whole deal, but that doesn't mean I'll go. If we came up with a better plan for dinner, that would be good. There is a great steakhouse(the Salt...
In my humble opinion, I have to agree with Ron on the so called banquets. The food at several has been less than expected and quite overpriced. The set up at...
You guys are a tough crowd to please! Banquets are notorious for their rubber chicken dinners (although I agree completely with Al about Buffalo). But we go...
Your right Dale and I mistakenly left out the part that we attend the reunion for the company of our 23rd MP comrades. Having our own 23rd MP hospitality room...
For arrangements to be picked up at the airport in Shreveport, E-mail info to Roger Gilmore at gilmoraces@...,Information needed is your name, arrival...
Al--last year, and I think the year before, they stopped going around the room and having everyone introduce themselves, except for first time attendees. It's...
Dale. Thats good. I had a rather frank e-mail back and forth with the previous National Commander regarding the booing and exactly my personal opinion of the...
From the 1st time we heard the boos I never took it any other way than "all in fun". Of those that attended you may remember what I did in response. I said my...
Nothing beats what Mike Ackerfeld did in Cleveland or D.C.--can't remember which--when he stood up and said, "I'm Big Mike Ackerfeld from the 23rd MPs. Anyone...
One of the points that I made in my comments to the National was that in an organization that is attempting to recruit new memebers it seems to me to be in...
Al...I was so high on life that weekend that I believe Big Mike could have kicked "my" ass and I would've thanked him and made an appointment for the next...
Not being much of a fighter myself, it would have been easier to just shoot 'em and dump them into the Cuyahoga River there in Cleveland.LOL Anyway, I have not...
I sat beside Big Mike at the Cleveland meeting and after he did his introduction I proceeded to do the same and then told everyone he was my best friend. Dale,...
Is anyone going to Washington next weekend for Memorial Day? I'm staying at the Crowne Plaze Hotel in Arlington, Virginia Sat. and Sun. nights. The 2009...
