Dayton VA puts bus donation to good use

On behalf of the Veterans, families and staff of the Dayton VA Medical Center, I wish to extend our sincere appreciation for your donation of $66,405 for the Veteran recreation activity bus. Your thoughtfulness reflects the concern that you feel for our veterans and the sacrifices they incurred while in service to our country.

It is through the graciousness of individuals, such as you, that we are able to provide the best possible care for our Nation's heroes, the Veteran patient. Your thoughtfulness also reflects the concern and compassion that our community feels for our Veterans.

Again, thank you for caring.

Sincerely,
Guy B. Richardson, MHSA, FACHE
Medical Center Director

Note - During the April 7th visit of Secretary Shinseki to the Dayton VAMC we used the activity bus to give him a driving tour of our campus. He, as well as other veterans, is appreciative of your donation. THANKS!



Expand Legion eligibility?

When a person joins the military by choice or draft he or she is committed to defend our country. He or she gives up the most precious thing there is in life. Time! Some have been injured, shot and killed during "peace time" with no declared conflicts.

In my opinion anyone that has served in the military, at any time, in war or peace, should be eligible to join the Legion. It is a disgrace to deny them membership. The Legion needs members. What better way to get them?

Respectfully,
