AUXILIARY 1512	Legislative		1/23/2024	1	0	1	$0.00	one member responded to a DAV action alert and sent email an email to Senator Butler and Senator Padilla. Sen. Jon Tester (Mont.) and Sen. Jerry Moran (Kan.) introduced important bipartisan legislation—S. 3341, the Advancing VA’s Emergency Response to (AVERT) Crises Act of 2023. VA’s fourth mission is to improve the nation’s preparedness for response to war, terrorism, national emergencies and natural disasters by developing plans and taking actions to ensure continued service to veterans, as well as to support national, state, and local emergency management, public health, safety and homeland security efforts. S. 3341, the AVERT Crises Act of 2023, would improve VA’s response to natural disasters, pandemics and other emergencies to ensure continuity of VA medical care for veterans, and ensure that the department is better prepared to activate its fourth mission authority in responding to national emergencies. The bill would require VA to implement fully-operational emergency communications systems throughout VA medical facilities and improve its emergency cache program of stored reserves containing drugs and medical supplies to be used during an emergency. I urge you to support this important bill and consider being a co-sponsor. Please advise me of your intentions with respect to this bill.

The report must cover seven key areas in determining if discharge review boards are using the liberal consideration standards required in their decision-making process. This legislation, S. 1975, is in accordance with DAV Resolution No. 113, which calls for a more liberal review of other than honorable (OTH) military discharges for the purpose of eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs benefits and services in cases where veterans may have been suffering with PTSD, traumatic brain injury, or experienced military sexual trauma or harassment.

AUXILIARY 3788	Americanism / Patriotic Instructor		6/29/2023	1	0	1	$0.00	email received from friendsoffreedom@vfw.org regarding signing a document for patriotic pledge for the VFW. Body of email is as follows: Dear Sheila, If you consider yourself a proud American, listen up! We need your help NOW. A recent Wall Street Journal poll found 77% of Americans under 30 say that patriotism isn’t very important. I don’t know about you, but that number stopped me in my tracks. Less than one in four young people?! From where I stand, that sure doesn’t look right. Every day, I see proud, selfless fellow veterans and VFW members from every generation show what it means to be patriotic. That is why we are writing to the media to let America know that patriotism is alive and well. There’s still time to add your name to our letter — sign the VFW Patriotic Pledge by July 4th so we can deliver it to media outlets across the country following the Fourth of July holiday. SIGN THE PATRIOTIC PLEDGE The MORE signatures, the LOUDER our message. Please join us! People need to know what real patriotism looks like. It is not a fad that comes in and out of fashion. Patriotism is at the core of who we are. Sign the VFW Patriotic Pledge by July 4th to deliver our message LOUD and CLEAR. I have signed the patriotic pledge for our vets and country.. Message received: THANK YOU FOR SIGNING THE VFW PATRIOTIC PLEDGE!

AUXILIARY 3788	Legislative		7/25/2023	1	0	1	$0.00	from Action Corps recently, I sent a letter to the honorable Alex Padilla from state of California regarding veterans' exposure to radiation from many years of conflicts. Here is his response to my letter dated earlier this week: Dear Mrs. Snyder, Thank you for writing to share your concerns regarding the health of those exposed to radiation. I appreciate hearing from you. You may be pleased to know that I supported the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) Extension Act of 2022 (Public Law 117-139), which President Biden into law on June 7, 2022. This legislation extends current programs that compensate those exposed to radiation and who have developed certain conditions. The "Radiation Exposure Compensation Act Amendments of 2023" (S. 1751), introduced by Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), would expand compensation for people exposed to radiation from atmospheric testing and those employed in uranium mines. This bill is currently awaiting consideration by the Senate Committee on Judiciary, of which I am a member. Every American deserves access to equitable, affordable health care. Please know that I appreciate hearing your perspective on this issue, and I will continue working to ensure that those who have been exposed to harmful conditions have fair compensation. Once again, thank you for writing. Should you have any other questions or comments, please call my Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-3553 or visit my website at padilla.senate.gov. You can also follow me on Facebook, and Twitter, and you can sign up for my email newsletter at padilla.senate.gov/newsletter. Sincerely, Alex Padilla United States Senator

My letter was sent to the Honorable Dianne Feinstein to support "Governing Unaccredited Representatives Defrauding (GUARD) VA Benefits Act of 2023” (S. 740). The following is a copy of her response to me in support of this documentation. Dear Mrs. Snyder: Thank you for contacting me to express your support for benefits for veterans. I appreciate the time you took to write and welcome the opportunity to respond. Let me begin by expressing my deep appreciation to members of the Armed Services who have answered the call to duty and selflessly served our country. I firmly believe that those who served with courage, honor, and distinction deserve the benefits they have earned. I understand you support the "Governing Unaccredited Representatives Defrauding (GUARD) VA Benefits Act of 2023” (S. 740), which Senator John Boozman (R-AR) introduced on March 9, 2023. This legislation would reinstate criminal penalties for unaccredited representatives who charge veterans unauthorized fees for helping them to file a disability claim. S. 740 is currently awaiting consideration by the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, of which I am not a member. Please know that I strongly support efforts to ensure that disabled veterans are protected from predatory fees. I will be sure to keep your support for S. 740 in mind should this bill or related legislation come before the full Senate for consideration. Once again, thank you for writing.

I was the community veterans' outreach rep assisting the security team during the above listed time period. I made contacts with many of the veterans who needed assistance on various issues, including making sure the security team was aware of any potential issues on site. My tenure included getting a extremely ill woman to the on-campus medical team for assistance (taking hubby too) to get urgent care. I saw the woman about 2 hours later, she came running up to me to thank me for saving her life due to low blood sugar, inner ear infection and a fever. I also assisted another female veteran with a problem from residents at a nearby cabin close to hers regarding some potential threats. I asked the gal if she had gone to security directly to talk, and she told me she was fearful of doing so. I suggested she go to the hospitality store, act as though she was getting toiletries, but to make a quiet turn into the security office to express her concerns on the incidents. I was notified a short while later, that I was to assist this female in moving her personal belongings from 1 cabin to another 1 away from the close cabin she had issues with. I transported her belongings and her to the other cabin, got her set up and situated and she thanked me for my suggestions, assistance and moving her to the new site. In order for the veterans to find me quickly on the ranch campus, I wore a different colored fedora daily to make sure I was spotted in the crowds. I was part of a team to make sure the veterans on campus were given the morning reveille wake up calls to prepare for breakfast at the main dining hall, where they would be transported by other golf cart drivers to get to the location (about a mile from any of the 24 cabins on campus). I was also responsible for making sure the veterans were out of their cabins during the day time hours to take care of their required needs of medical, dental, legal, housing vouchers and any other necessities, to ensure no one was doing drugs, or potential thefts on campus at other cabins. I was commended by the 2 security team lead managers for my customer service, kindness and outgoing style in making sure veterans, their families and children were taken care of and safe. My 'new' family are the security team leaders who want me to return next year to continue doing my community service for the NCVSD. They were very impressed with my accomplishments.

This is a 5,000 sq. ft. garden with an adjacent 1,000 sq. ft. orchard. The garden is divided into 3 sections. I work in Garden 1 for one hour each week. I didn't start or organize this group, which actually began in 2009, but I was happy to join them in August of 2020 by harvesting vegetables for low-income families and seniors in our community. We have harvested sweet peas, green beans, green and red bell pepper, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, bok choy, cauliflower, cabbage, Swiss chard, and tomatoes. The garden is financed by donations from companies, organizations, and community members. The gardens and orchard are tended by volunteers from the community. All of the produce is donated to a local food pantry in the area for distribution to those in need in the local community. I have worked 29 hours so far since the beginning of July 2023 and will continue to work there on a weekly basis throughout the year.

Homeward Bound Veterans is founded and staffed by veterans who understand the struggles of transitioning from military to civilian life. The organization assists our homeless veterans for 90 days. A Volunteer Veteran Advocate first meets with the veteran one on one to access their situation and direct them to the necessary assistance. They then provide a nationwide network of resources and support to homeless and at-risk veterans. The team is committed to helping these brave individuals for up to 90 days to find the assistance they need to get back on their feet. Their Director, Michael Mallonee, has set a goal of building 10 homes for homeless vets on the west coast in the next several years. Homeward Bound Veterans, purposed from love and respect, aids our homeless veterans in finding their way back to society.

AUXILIARY 3699	Legislative		2/12/2024	1	0	1	$0.00	Dear Ms. Ryser, Thank you for contacting me regarding H.R. 3651, the Love Lives On Act of 2023. I appreciate the opportunity to hear about the issues important to the individuals I serve. It is an essential part of our democratic process, and I am grateful for your input. Our troops courageously put their lives on the line to defend our country, and we owe them a debt of gratitude. That is why I am committed to fulfilling our country’s promise to our veterans and their families in recognition of the sacrifices they have made to protect our nation and the freedoms we hold dear. As you may know, the Love Lives On Act would allow the spouses of deceased servicemembers to keep their survivor benefits when they remarry. Specifically, this bill would remove the remarriage age requirement for retaining the Survivor Benefit Plan and Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, allow remarried surviving spouses access to Commissary and Exchange benefits, and allow remarried surviving spouses to keep eligibility for education benefits, among other measures. This bill was introduced in the House on May 24, 2023, and referred to the Committees on Armed Services and Veterans’ Affairs for consideration. While I do not sit on these particular committees, rest reassured that I will keep your thoughts in mind should this bill or related legislation come to the House floor for a vote. Once again, thank you for sharing your views with me. As your Representative, serving my constituents is my top priority. Please continue to share your ideas and keep in touch by liking my Facebook page, following me on Twitter and Instagram, signing up for my e-newsletter, or by visiting my website at: https://ruiz.house.gov. Sincerely, Rep. Raul Ruiz Member of Congress

AUXILIARY 4089	Mentoring / Leadership		3/1/2024	8	0	2	$0.00	A new member joined At Large. I helped him a few years ago to get his grandfather's paperwork from WWl to join the Auxiliary. I was contracted by a Comrade from my post who knew him / or of him and had contact with him. She passed Doc on to me. Apparently the Auxiliaries in Doc's area did not want to go to the trouble of helping him get the information he needed to get his Grandfather's paperwork. 2 to 3 years later he finally got it and joined as a Life Member at Large. So, after spending time with him last night and again today, I wrote down all the information I could to help him navigate the system. It can be very daunting to click on the National link and have not idea where to start. So, I walked him through everything I thought was important to know in the very beginning. Encouraged him to peruse the links I gave him and then slowly start going through the rest as time allowed.. I gave him information on attending posts and joining auxiliary meetings to see how they work. Each Aux is different and to find out where he is most comfortable. Doc really wants to be a Cootie but needs to wait until September to join. But I did tell Doc to ask about visiting meetings {if allowed} to, again, see where he might fit best. I also perused the MOCA website and the Auxiliary and sent him the links for later. All the email for membership to ask about Pup Tents in his area. I also asked about Pup Tents in my area {which happens to be Dallas County Texas. I did find out I could be a member at large for Cooties, but there was to a lot of information on that so I asked about that for myself. I let Doc know to call or email me with any questions/concerns he has. If I don't have an answer I will definitely find out for both of us

AUXILIARY 5394	Americanism / Patriotic Instructor		5/20/2023	1	0	14	$0.00	Sherree Bryant shared with the Auxiliary 5394 how the Armed Forces Day came about. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, "President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country. On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force Days. The single-day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under the Department of Defense.” From The American Presidency Project, Proclamation 10400—Armed Forces Day, 2022: "On Armed Forces Day, we share our unending appreciation for the proud patriots who answer the call to serve, taking the sacred oath to defend our Constitution. The brave members of our Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, Coast Guard, and National Guard and Reserve forces represent the best of our Nation. Today and every day, we honor their immeasurable service on behalf of our grateful Nation."

Guest speaker was Ann Mills-Griffiths, Executive Director of the National League of Families of American Prisoners & Missing in Southeast Asia.. The event also included District 4 Honor Guard and a rifle team.

After the ceremony was completed there was another meeting conducted my Aux 5394 Member Annie Thomas Duncan on Veterans Suicide and what are the warning signs to be aware. Many of the members attending this meeting have had personal experiences concerning the loss of a loved one, friend, veteran who has committed suicide. One as recent as a week prior to Veterans Day. This discussion provided an opportunity for these members to receive some therapy, counsel and support. It provided us all an opportunity to bond and educate each other on indicators that nay be the warning sign for us to take action and seek help for this person.
AUXILIARY 5394	Americanism / Patriotic Instructor	U.S. Flag Education	5/1/2023	1	0	12	$0.00	Sherree Bryant shared with the membership of Aux 5394 the significance of loyalty day: President Dwight D. Eisenhower first issued a proclamation to designate May 1 as Loyalty Day in 1955. Yet the day was first observed nationally in 1921 as Americanization Day, which came in response to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and reportedly to counter International Workers Day, or May Day. That day, backed by socialists and communists, aimed to celebrate workers on May 1. According to the U.S. Code, "Loyalty Day is a special day for the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States and for the recognition of the heritage of American Freedom." In his proclamation, Eisenhower declared that it was appropriate to have a day for "solemn re-evaluation of those priceless gifts of freedom which are our heritage, to the end that we may stimulate and renew that high sense of patriotism which has signalized our glorious history as a Nation." Eisenhower also called "for its appropriate observance by the people of this Nation" when he made Loyalty Day an official recurring day of commemoration in 1958. Celebrations on Loyalty Day can feature parades and music, as well as services to honor American veterans.
AUXILIARY 5394	Americanism / Patriotic Instructor	U.S. Flag Education	6/14/2023	1	0	15	$0.00	Sherree Bryant shared with Aux 5394 the history behind Flag Day. On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress approved the design of a national flag. Since 1916, when President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation establishing a national Flag Day on June 14, Americans have commemorated the adoption of the Stars and Stripes in many ways–displaying the flag in the front of their homes, parades, and other patriotic observances. Prior to 1916, many localities and a few states had been celebrating the day for years. Congressional legislation designating that date as the national Flag Day was signed into law by President Harry Truman in 1949; the legislation also called upon the president to issue a flag day proclamation every year.

Each member was able to reflect on the goodness each one broughrt,, which we feltg was impportant, espicially in todays culture where threr is so much attention brought on the negative. Bottom Line: Lets focus on the positive not the negative and heal those whon are hurting when we can.

I read to the members there the following statement from the White House. ""On National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we honor the memories of the 2,403 service members and civilians whose lives were cut short on that tragic December morning. We reflect on the resilience of America's Armed Forces, who withstood the attack and built the most capable fighting force the world has ever known. In the wake of tragedy, these brave women and men — the Greatest Generation — answered the call to defend freedom, justice, and democracy across the Pacific, throughout Europe, and around the globe. Today, we carry forward their spirit of unity and their enduring resolve to protect the United States against those who seek to do us harm."

AUXILIARY 2814	Historian / Media Relations		4/22/2023	20	0	1	$0.00	Along with a service officer from the local Veterans Service Office, I spent over 4 months planning the North County Veterans Resource Fair on April 22 with the hope to offer the largest gathering of organizations offering services and benefits to veterans in the North County ever. I handled securing the centralized location in the North County, necessary city and county health permits, designing print and online graphics, creating Facebook posts and ads, making guest appearance to promote attendance and participation, writing and distributing press releases and various event planner duties. Our efforts resulted in 29 different organizations gathered in one place for more than 200 veterans and their families to connect with. Previous resource fairs by other organizations in the North County only had less than a dozen exhibitors at any given time.

AUXILIARY 2814	Historian / Media Relations		4/22/2023	4	0	1	$0.00	In our county the majority of the offices for companies that offer veterans services are headquartered in the southern section of our County which can be difficult or inconvenient to get to. Additionally, most of the resource fairs for veterans are held in the southern cities. We wanted to find a way to help our veterans in the north county to connect and learn more about what's available to them from the various organizations in our area. 29 organizations participated in the North County Veterans Resource Fair organized by the VFW Auxiliary 2814 and the San Luis Obispo County Veterans Services. Over 200 veterans and their families found information on health benefits, nutrition, health and wellness, VA loans, burial rights, social groups, assistance dogs, senior care and more at the free event. Additionally the local Kiwanis Club cooked tri-tip sandwiches for sale to the public and through donations from the community, our Auxiliary was able to sponsor lunch for 40 veterans. We also offered free music and activities for kids including corn hole and patriotic coloring activities. Event photos are available on the Auxiliary Facebook here https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=VFWAuxiliary2814&set=a.258640519859606

This member thought that the "Patriotic Instructor" was assigned to work on the "Patriot's Pen" program. I informed her that the Patriotic Instructor is normally the Americanism Chairman and that their role is to be an officer at the alter when the Chaplain reads the Prayer and then they recite the Patriotic Instructor's paragraph from the ritual and lead the Pledge of Allegiance. The Patriotic Instructor also does floorwork to place the POW/MIA flag at the beginning of the meeting when requested. I also explained that the Patriot's Pen Scholarship is part of the Scholarship's Chairman's responsibility to promote the program. Just because the word Patriot is in both, does not make the Patriot's Pen Scholarship program promotion the responsibility of the Patriotic Instructor. They are separate functions although they can be performed by the same person just under different roles. Hours and members reported under Americanism.
AUXILIARY 6309	Mentoring / Leadership		4/14/2024	1	0	1	$0.00	I have been working with Aux 6359 to keep them an active Auxiliary and not vote to close. Last week, I was working to make sure all of our 6 District 12 Auxiliaries had their reports in so that the District President is eligible for All State and Circle of Excellence. When I spoke to the Treasurer at 6359, she said she didn't know anything about the online reporting system (She is 90.) I put together step by step instructions for logging in to Members Only and opening the report entry form. In following up with her today, she had used the simple screen prints and directions and entered reports for her Auxiliary's activity's this past year. Just in the nick of time and now our District President is All State and Circle of Excellence eligible! Bonus outcome: The Treasurer realized how much the Auxiliary does in the small community of San Juan Bautista and is excited to work to find the new leadership needed to keep the Auxiliary moving forward and reporting all their many Auxiliary Outreach activities working with the Library, Youth, Adobe (San Juan Bautista is a California Mission town), Native Daughters of the Golden West, Mary Sellen Senior Center project (just starting), their Post and so much more.
AUXILIARY 6309	Mentoring / Leadership		4/15/2024	9	0	1	$0.00	Working with Maddie Cunningham Colston to merge data from Good Standing Dashboard with Program Report information for the Chairmen to use to inform their year end report to National. Data for program reports, good standing, and dashboard was downloaded. A database was created and files manipulated to add a common key field (District # plus Auxiliary # with the District record being Auxiliary # zero for each District.. The data in the Good Standing Report was compressed (multiple records per Auxiliary combined to one single record for each Auxiliary) so there is only 1 good standing record to the many program report records. Also downloaded all Dashboard data as a copy and paste into a spreadsheet so it can be manipulated by Maddie. Teaching Maddie how all of this is and has been done so that the information can move forward as web team members change. This exercise will also inform a change request to the contractors who program and maintain the website so that hopefully in the future the end dataset/report can be run directly from the Admin login to the website without so much manipulation of the data. Right now, it's baby steps to help the Chairmen get more accurate information more quickly to inform National.

She will be elected at the May meeting before their Installation is held. Following their meeting, I put together some basic information for the new president and emailed to her a link to create a Malta account, a link to login to the Department website (and confirmed she is in the member roster). I also explained what she needs to login to the Members Only section. Finally, I sent her a copy of Building on the Foundation 2.0 and asked her to read the Auxiliary President duties listed starting on page 2.

AUXILIARY 6849	Historian / Media Relations		7/3/2023	1	0	1	$0.00	I have decided to rewrite this report. I was contacted by a post member to ask about who Lieutenant Bill Paulsen was. Billy was a young man who was born and raised in Spreckels. He was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Paulsen. He joined the army Air Force during World War II while serving in the army he was shot down in the Pacific and killed this happened approximately about 1942. He left his wife Lorraine behind but no children his wife lived with his mother and dad and speckles sprinkles being a small town as it was everybody knew everybody, so during that time, all the ladies would gather at the post office, including my mother and wait for the mail. They would all be so happy for each other if they got a letter from their husband or their other boyfriend. All of a sudden Lorraine stopped getting letters she didn’t get letters for about three weeks in a row so the ladies would just take their letter, put it in their pocket and quietly walk out of the post office . Then the dreaded thing happened a cab pulled up in front of Paulsens Home, and it was told to all of them that Billy was killed in action in 1943 a group of veterans an Spreckels just and their wives decided to start a VFW and an auxiliary. They found it only fitting that they named after Billy the tenant Billy Paulson Junior. For many years, they work together very hard they used to have a float that they built every year and they put it into mini parades throughout California. Every weekend they would gather at a small barn in town and then work on the float and then on Saturday and Sunday. The ladies would make dinner and they would have dinner afterwards they would have , macaroni and potato salad, barbecue sausages, and sometimes just hotdogs it was always a fun time, and that was when the fun begin when everyone began to mingle. The auxiliary in the post always worked closely together. It was a family affair. I was a child, and I knew when my mom and dad went to the VFW building, we went along with them. Or auxiliary for the last 20 years has gone to Billy’s grave on Memorial Day and put a wreath and blue flowers on his mothers grave she was a Goldstar mother and still is. We always did this without the help of our posts. This is why they don’t know who Bill is. I was happy to share the information and now it’s not just a picture of a man on the wall. It’s a picture of a man who lived in Spreckels, all of his life, and was part of our community.

He received his last assignment on October 28, 1943, when he was transferred to Navy Torpedo Squadron 20 (VT-20) and stationed on the USS Enterprise. On September 10, 1944, during a pre-invasion strike mission on the Palau Islands, Mitts and his crewmates were lost when their plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire.

We had numerous mistakes to correct, figure out the correct balance for each month,fix figures that were not entered correctly or didn't match up with the receipt/ checks. June was a piece of cake since the new Treasurer had the whole month to do off of what she had done for receipts, checks written, and bank statement. I showed her how to do the audit so she could check herself, and everything came out perfect when we were done. I showed her how to purchase the Bond and figure out the amount she needed to cover the Auxiliary President and herself. I showed her where to find the 8822-B IRS form so she could report the Treasurer change.Filled out and printed ready to send in. We found the Treasurer's Resource book for her to print a copy for her, which she did.We talked about the Annual Dues Re-newal letters which she was going to work on. I showed her the Department and National Obligations list and we discussed how to do it properly, by sending a check with a list on how to disperse to Department, paying VFWA National through Malta, and sending a check to the National VFW Comrades. Showed her where the links were for the 199 and the 990 so she will be doing those soon. She asked many questions and I answered the best that I could. I explained how I keep my Treasurer's Book, bank statements, audit, ledger, and receipts, and important papers in for the current year in one binder, she thought that was a good idea. I showed her how to make it easier for the Trustees to do the audit better by making it easier for them to find things as far as total figures, receipts that should be signed when presented at every meeting. She is also the Secretary so I gave her a few pointers on the Treasurer's Report in the minutes. We also discussed the Standing Rules,doing an Auxiliary Budget for Obligations, fundraising events, donations per Standing Rules, etc. and bringing onto the floor for discussion and approval. We tried to cover as much as we could but she knows she can call me with any questions.

Another offered transportation for the beans and rolls that were all made at separate kitchens around Hilmar and Turlock. Another member coordinated each cook so that it would all coordinate to appropriate times and setting work schedules for the students and parents. Antoehr showed up to help the day of with the drive thru! It was truly a team effort!! The students sold tickets and the auxiliary did the shopping, preparing, and lead the kids in packaging the food for meals. Our Auxiliary has a lot of experience in the food and catering industry so we were able to help lead these kids to a great success. The Auxiliary voted in February to allow our 5 willing members to participate in this outreach into the Hilmar community. If it were not for these Auxiliary ladies stepping up to offer their expertise the students wouldn't have been able to host this fundraiser without all the knowledge that the auxiliary members poured into the students and parents. I could not be more proud of our Auxiliary for everything they did for these kids! No auxiliary or members money was spent in any of this and it was a true act of passion for these members, who wore their Auxiliary hat, apron, pin, and shirts!

AUXILIARY 5059	Mentoring / Leadership		8/31/2023	2	50	1	$34.00	I assisted in mentoring with our District auxiliary president with issues happening with the Manteca post auxiliary. We met with the auxiliary president as well as the auxiliary treasurer, We discussed the importance of working together as a team, and as a group and keeping a focus, and positive atmosphere on the reason that we volunteers and an auxiliary, for such an amazing organization.
AUXILIARY 5059	Mentoring / Leadership		3/27/2024	1	0	1	$0.00	I was always told that the reports start in April/May for the new term so to get all my reports in by mid May for them to count. I have been apart of the Auxiliary for ten years and the way I understood this information is incorrect. At the top of the I didn't know this but on your reports the dates are listed on the blackout sheet! I usually don't look at the blackout sheet. So when I learned this after being apart of the auxiliary, including in district positions I felt it would be useful information for everyone to know. So I posted in the District 13 Officers group chat. I "thought" it was good information to share but apparently some women complained that it wasn't "my place" to post that information. But I thought I was being a good team member sharing what I was pretty damn excited to learn. I literally have been doing my reporting counts wrong for 10 years! Our district President is a good leader she is 100% all in for team work. We have a few people in our district that just like to complain. I know I am not a officer anymore. I know I never sat in the Presidents chair but I am still a member. I am on the same team I didn't feel there was anything wrong with encouraging everyone to write some reports. It's members like the complainer that made me exit the line for District President. Every single one of us should be encouraging and uplifting the others to succeed for the good of our organization. Just because someone doesn't hold a title doesn't mean they can't contribute information or encourage others. Most of our district is red on the blackout sheet. It's a shame some people don't encourage team work. District 13 has been lucky to have Leslie as our President she is willing to do the work with the rest of us and it's not a competition with her she has the greater good in mind. Below is what I sent in the group chat I only meant for it to be "we can do this" encouraging. I don't know who the complainer was but I hope they read this and realize I didn't mean to step on anyone's toes I was just flabbergasted that I didn't know and figured if I have been a member for ten years and didn't know maybe it was information worth passing on to others. "Mentoring information: I didn't know this but on your reports the dates are listed on the blackout sheet. Quarter one 7/1-9/30 Quarter 2 10/1-12/30 Quarter 3 1/1 - 3/31 Quarter 4 4/1-6/10 I see a lot of District 13 in the red. Even our own Auxiliary is falling behind on reporting. But if you can just pick a slow morning or night and get 3 reports written in any area once or twice a week, We Can get this done people! We have done it before!"

A "Design Team." they would research and collaborate and have a few patterns for us to select "THE" Quilt that we want to represent us. A "Shopping Team" after pattern selection, they would be the ones to go and select the fabrics for it. The "Cut Team" they would be the ones to gather and cut all the pieces out and label them. Then the "Sewing Team" They are our seamstresses, ironers and thread trimmers. Then we have a friend, Ranielle, who has a Quilting business who is willing to donate her services to quilt it and label it. And then back to me to "Bind" it. The Auxiliary voted in favor of this project. On Monday, January 22, 2024, our "Design Team" met and chose 5 of her patterns to bring before the membership for a vote.

AUXILIARY 6311	Aux Community Outreach		12/16/2023	4	64	2	$0.00	Annually our Post's Car Club hosts a Bike Giveaway for underprivileged children in Manteca. In years past our auxiliary has donated funds to help them differ some costs. This year one of our members, Patty Park, who is good friends with the manager of our local Walmart store asked him about reserving some bikes from the "Black Friday Sale." He informed her of special grant of $1,000.00 that Walmart gives out. He encouraged us to apply, that our chances were good that we'd get it. She then contacted me, the Secretary/Treasurer, to inform me that she couldn't fill out the application, only an officer of our organization could do it and she would work with me on it. After several hours of the filing process and all the steps along the way, we were denied the grant as we a 501 C.....we then recontacted the Walmart manager to inform him of the outcome, he felt so bad that he not only sold us 10 bikes at "Black Friday" prices, he also donated another 4 bikes from Walmart as well for the under privileged children. The bikes were delivered on Friday, December 15, 2023 and given out on Saturday, December 16th.

Kiwanis, etc...and given bags of stuffed plastic Easter Eggs (Candy, stickers, small toys, coins) and given a ticket for further stations in the lot to receive prizes like bicycles & Target gift cards.

AUXILIARY 6311	Aux Community Outreach		3/23/2024	10	80	8	$0.00	On Saturday, March 23, 2024, at Woodward Park in Manteca, our Auxiliary hosted a Community Easter Egg Hunt. Our Past President, Kitty Walker, was our chairmen, co-chaired by two other Auxiliary members, also worked with 6 of our City Officials: i.e. Mayor, Gary Singh, and Congressmen, Steve DeBrum; the Sunrise Kiwanis group, Youth Focus Group, Sierra High School JROTC. 6 other auxiliary members, 4 comrades, plus 4 other volunteers all worked together for this event. There were thousands of plastic Easter Eggs stuffed with candy, chocolate, stickers, coins, etc by our auxiliary members. There were bicycles, Target gift cards and plush animal toys to give away. We even had lined up a Taco truck for the day. Sadly, weather warnings of winds and rain for that day almost put a "damper" on it. With a bit of brainstorming, the auxiliary came up with the idea to "post on as many media outlets" as we know of especially our VFW Aux. FB page that because of the weather we will have a "drive by" Easter Egg Event" instead of a hunt in the park. And that is exactly what we did within the Woodward Park parking lot, we had stations for attenders to drive up to and the various volunteers would scoop out from our many many bins of these stuffed eggs and pour into the attender's "Easter Baskets or bags, or spin a wheel to win a gift card or toy or bike. It was a great turn out. Several hundred children with families came. This is an event that we will host again. It was a great project to share with the Kiwanis, JROTC, Youth Focus and the City of Manteca!

Given she is a Medi-Care patient (as am I) I gave her some advice on who she could call and the name of a Secondary Care Coverage that she could look into that she wouldn't pay anything except her prescriptions at a way discounted rate. That information seemed to put her mind ease.

Our auxiliary had heard that they were struggling. I reached out to Ricky Rodriguez who runs the home with his wife. The house that they were running the shelter at had fallen into disrepair. and the owner of the building was negligent in making the necessary repairs. the City of Stockton got involved and had the building condemned until the repairs are made. That meant that "Dignity Alcove" were evicted. They have a new location unfortunately most of their furniture and belongings were stolen and/or vandalized. Through the generosity of other organizations and the general public of Stockton they had just about all that they needed to reopen except for 2 twin bedframes and 2 twin mattresses. After a unanimous vote, I called a local mattress store in Manteca that I know to be veteran owned "Bedquarter" and spoke with Steve Lewis. He gave them $100.00. Soooo...Auxiliary 6311 purchased those last items for "Dignity Alcove" so that they can now reopen and help get some homeless veterans the help they need.

There were thousands of plastic Easter Eggs stuffed with candy, chocolate, stickers, coins, etc by our auxiliary members. There were bicycles, Target gift cards and plush animal toys to give away. We even had lined up a Taco truck for the day. Sadly, weather warnings of winds and rain for that day almost put a "damper" on it. With a bit of brainstorming, the auxiliary came up with the idea to "post on as many media outlets" as we know of especially our VFW Aux. FB page that because of the weather we will have a "drive by" Easter Egg Event" instead of a hunt in the park. And that is exactly what we did within the Woodward Park parking lot, we had stations for attenders to drive up to and the various volunteers would scoop out from our many many bins of these stuffed eggs and pour into the attender's "Easter Baskets or bags, or spin a wheel to win a gift card or toy or bike. It was a great turn out. Several hundred children with families came. This is an event that we will host again. It was a great project to share with the Kiwanis, JROTC, Youth Focus and the City of Manteca!

She then contacted me, the Secretary/Treasurer, to inform me that she couldn't fill out the application, only an officer of our organization could do it and she would work with me on it. After several hours of the filing process and all the steps along the way, we were denied the grant as we are a 501 C.....we then recontacted the Walmart manager to inform him of the outcome, he felt so bad theat he not only sold us 10 bikes at "Black Friday" prices plus vteran discounts, he also donated another 4 bikes from Walmart as well for the under privileged children.

AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		4/16/2024	1	0	7	$0.00	Sent support letter for HR.7777 and S.4047 to 3 legislators (Duarte, Butler, Padilla). This bill (the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) Act of 2024 would increase VA compensation benefit rates for veterans and those in receipt of Dependents Indemnity Compensation (DIC). Without annual COLA, many disabled veterans, who sacrificed their own health and family life for the good of our nations, may not be ale to maintain the quality of life the deserve.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		8/31/2023	1	0	8	$0.00	Support Letter HR.4424, The Vietnam Veterans Liver Fluke Cancer Study Act, legislation directing the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to conduct an epidemiological study on the prevalence of cholangiocarcinoma in veterans of the Vietnam era. Bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) is a cancer of the biliary duct system, which included the gallbladder, bile ducts, and certain cells inside the liver. One risk factor for bile duct cancer is past infection with tiny parasitic worms called liver flukes, which are found in the fresh waters of Southeast Asia. Veterans who ate raw or undercooked freshwater fish during their service in Southeast Asia, such as Vietnam veterans, might have been infected. Currently, there are no available studies to show that bile duct cancer occurs more often in Vietnam veterans than in other groups. HR.4424 can help determine if environmental exposures faced by Vietnam veterans can be linked to bile duct cancer.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		6/29/2023	1	0	8	$0.00	Support letter for HR.3651, the Love Lives on Act. A companion bill to the Love Lives On Act in the Senate. Legislation that would eliminate the remarriage age for survivors in receipt of Dependency Indemnity Compensation (DIC). The payment of DIC benefits was intended to provide surviving spouses with the means to maintain some semblance of economic stability for themselves and their families. For deceased, surviving spouses were not able to maintain their DIC if they remarried prior to the age of 57. Then in 2021, the remarriage age was lowered to 55. On April 26, 2023, DAV testified in support of the Love Lives On Act, as we need to ensure that dependents and survivors of service-disabled veteran are properly care for and have the resources they need.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		4/27/2023	1	0	9	$0.00	Support letter for HR.693, the VACANT Act, which would require the VA Secretary to appoint a VA medical center director as acting director after detailing that director to a different position with the Department. The individual appointed as acting director would be afforded all of the authority and responsibilities of the detailed director. This would improve accountability to sustain needed leadership to ensure the VA health care system runs seamlessly during a period of transition and that veterans' continuity of care and benefits are not disrupted.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		10/14/2023	1	12	2	$0.00	Auxiliary members Cora Wahls and Ann Demsey were able to talk to our US Rep Duarte. They were able to ask him questions and get answers for his first year in the House.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		7/19/2023	1	0	8	$0.00	Support letter for S.344, a bipartisan legislation that would authorize concurrent receipt of DOD retired pay and VA disability compensation for those injured in a combat zone and medically retired under Chapter 62 of title 10, United States Code. This is for adoption of Amendment 142-provision from the Major Richard Star Act so it can be included in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This benefit would eliminate this unjust offset of disability compensation for combat-injured military retirees.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		7/28/2023	1	0	11	$0.00	Support letter for S.2026, the Maternal Health for Veterans Act, which strengthen oversight of the VA maternity care coordination efforts while authorizing new funding to make sure VA has the resources it needs to provide women veterans with access to the maternal care they've earned through their service. S.2026 would require VA to produce and provide an annual report to the House and Senate Committees on Veterans' Affairs, to include a summary of activities carried out relating to the coordination of maternity health care services. The legislation requires the VA to include data on maternal health outcomes of veterans who received medical care at a VA health facility or community care provider. Additionally, it requires recommendations by the VA to improve the maternal health outcomes of veterans.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		2/23/2024	1	0	7	$0.00	Support Letter sent for HR. 5890, the Review Every Veterans Claim Act, which would limit the VA's authority to deny a veteran's claim solely based on the veteran's failure to appear for a medical examination associated with the claim. HR.5890 would add a new paragraph to the law, which states the Secretary may not deny such claim on the sole basis that the veteran ailed to appear for the requested medical examination.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		3/22/2024	1	0	6	$0.00	6 members sent support letters to their legislator (Caballero) in support of SB.1124. This bill seeks to strengthen state law protections for veterans by prohibiting any person not accredited by the VA from charge a veteran for help with a benefit claim. SB1124 will increase penalties for those who obtain unauthorized access to veterans' data on VA computer systems, and prohibit the charging of fees hat exceed that a VA-accredited attorney or claims agent could legally charge to assist a veteran with a benefits claims.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		6/1/2023	1	0	9	$0.00	Support letter for HR.41, the VA Same-Day Scheduling Act, would require the VA Secretary to ensure when a veteran contacts the Department by telephone to schedule an appointment for care or services at any VA facility, the scheduling for the appointment occurs during that telephone call (regardless of the prospective date of the appointment being scheduled). This will improve current scheduling procedure and require real-time scheduling practices that ensure more timely access to VA health care services.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		4/17/2023	1	0	9	$0.00	Support Letter for HR.808, which recognizes that staffing shortages and vacancies in the VA health care system, including critical position like patient advocates, can hamper the ability of veterans who rely on the VA to overcome barriers to accessing the care they need and deserve. The VHA has designated patient advocates to each VA medical center to receive and document feedback from veterans or their representatives, including requests for information, compliments, complains and assist with clinical appeals. Given concerns in recent with VHA's ability to provide veterans timely access to health care, the importance of a strong patient advocacy program has taken on new significance. HR. 808, would direct VAMC directors to ensure there is no fewer than one patient advocate for every 13,500 enrolled veterans. Additionally, it would also address the need for highly rural veterans to have access to the services of patient advocates assigned to rural community-based outpatient clinics.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		7/6/2023	1	0	9	$0.00	Support Letter for the Servicemembers and Veterans Empowerment and Support Act of 2023. The VA reports that one in three women and one in 50 men indicate they were sexually assaulted during military service. Military Sexual Trauma (MST) survivors are able to file disability claims for conditions related to the trauma, but the process has been fraught with problems and such claims are often denied based on improper development. It has been reported that 40% of claimants who requested a particular gender of an examiner were not honored. DAV Resolution 105, which urges improvement of the process for determining service connection for conditions related to MST. It would codify current policy easing some of the evidentiary requirements for veterans filing claims for service-connection for condition related to the after-effects of MST and allow non-military documentation and opinions of medical professionals to bolster claims.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		5/16/2023	1	0	8	$0.00	Support Letter for HR.2414 and S.1119, the CHAMPVA Children's Care Protection Act of 2023. This legislation would increase the maximum age for children eligible for medical care under the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA). CHAMPVA is a health benefits program in which the VA shares the cost of certain health care services and supplies with eligible beneficiaries. CHAMPVA provides coverage to the spouse or widow(er) and to the children of a veteran who is rated permanently and totally disabled due to a service-connected disability; or was rated permanently and totally disabled due to a service-connected condition at the time of death; or died of a service-connected disability; or died on active duty and the dependents are not otherwise eligible for DOD TRICARE benefits.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		5/17/2023	1	0	12	$0.00	Support letter for S.326, the Elizabeth Dole Veterans Program Act of 2023. On April 26, the Senate held a cloture vote to consider an amended version of S.326, which contains provisions from the 5 bills listed below. All of these bills are in alignment with at least one DAV resolution. They are S.106, S141, S.185, S216, and S.326. These five bills previously passed out fo the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee with unanimous consent. DAV CAN members emails to their Senators asking for their support on S.326, yet it appears that some lawmakers chose the path of polarizing politics at the expense of our nation's veterans and voted NO on consideration of the legislative package. This package would have a profound impact on the lives of veterans and their families: improve outreach and assistance about veterans' benefits and services; expand long-term care options for aging veterans so they can live more independently with respect and dignity; create better home loan options for Native American veterans; and study the effects of medicinal cannabis on veterans with chronic pain or PTSD study the effects of medicinal cannabis on veterans with chronic pain or PTSD.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		7/18/2023	1	0	10	$0.00	Support letter for adoption of the Major Richard Star Act amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act. Reform to military retirement pay and disability veterans are prohibited by Congress from receiving their full earned DOD retirement pay and Department of Veterans Affairs service-connected disability compensation. Over 50,000 retirees with combat-related disabilities must forfeit every dollar of retirement pay for every dollar they receive in disability compensation. No veteran should have to choose between two fundamentally different benefits that they earned for two entirely different reason. This offset must be eliminated. Our combat veteran shave already sacrificed enough.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		6/28/2023	1	0	1	$0.00	6 of the 10 Auxiliary members present at the June meeting indicated by a raised hand that they are signed up and receive the Action Corps Weekly.

AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		5/4/2023	1	0	8	$0.00	Support Letter for S.928, the Not Just a Number Act, would require VA to produce and post an annual National Veteran Suicide Prevention report to include findings on suicide rates among veterans, information on their use of VA health care, Vet Centers, and various VA benefits and services. In addition, the bill would require information about veteran's use of education programs, job training and housing utilization and an analysis of which benefits and services have the greatest impact on prevention suicide. To promote this more comprehensive view of veterans' needs, the bill would require VA to assess the possibility of moving the Office of Suicide Prevention to the Secretary's level. Finally, it aims to improve suicide data collection, reporting and analysis.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		1/25/2024	1	0	7	$0.00	Support letter sent for S.3526, the Lactation Spaces for Veterans Moms Act, which would require each VA medical center to create a lactation stations for veterans who are nursing.

AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		1/18/2024	1	0	8	$0.00	Support letter send for HR.6362, the Protecting Benefits for Disable Veterans Act, which would provide additional protections for TDIU (Total Disability Based on Individual Unemployability) and prohibit the VA from considering the age of the veteran or their eligibility to any retirement benefits, including Social security, in making such determinations. TDIU is based on the severity of the individual veteran's unique disability picture and its impact on the veterans' ability to obtain and maintain substantial gainful employment. Generally, the veteran must have a single disability rated at 60% or a combined evaluation of 70% to be eligible for TDIU. Congressional Budget Office (CBO) recommended to restrict TDIU once a veteran reaches to the age of 66. HR.6362 would ensure the availability of TDIU for all veterans regardless of age or receipt of any other earned federal benefits.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		1/23/2024	1	0	9	$0.00	Support letter for S.3341, the Advancing VA's Emergency Response to (AVERT) Crisis Act of 2023, would improve VA's response to natural disasters, pandemics, and other emergencies to ensure continuity of VA medical care for veterans, and ensure that the department is better prepared to activated its fourth mission authority in responding to national emergencies.

AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		7/25/2023	1	0	7	$0.00	Support letter for HR. 4566, The Providing Radiation Exposed Servicemembers Undisputed Medical Eligibility (PRESUME) Act. The bill would eliminate VA's current practice of requiring radiation dose estimates for veterans claiming diseases related to radiation exposure. Currently, VA requires not only proof the veteran's onsite participation at a radiation risk activity, but also radiation dose estimates from the Defense Reduction Agency and a medical opinion indicating the dose estimate caused the claimed presumptive disease. The DOJ, Radiation Exposure Claims Act (RECA) program establishes compensation for individuals who contracted specified diseases related to atmospheric nuclear weapons development tests in the American southwest. the RECA program is available to uranium workers and miners. Radiation exposure veterans are held to a higher standard by the VA, then the DOJ for civilians exposed to radiation. This unfair practice must be halted.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		8/1/2023	1	0	10	$0.00	Support letter for HR.4249/S.2294, the Veterans Exposed to Toxic (VET) PFAS Act. These companion bills, would provide presumptive service connection for veterans exposed to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at military installations. PFAS are man-made chemicals that do not break down in the environment and are present in fire-fighting foams used by both civilian and military firefighters. The release of these chemicals into the environment during training and emergency responses is a major source of PFAS contamination of ground water on military bases. Given the overwhelming amount of water contaminations, the VA does not currently recognize any diseases related to PFAS exposure. The VET PFAS act would add high cholesterol, ulcerative colitis, thyroid disease, testicular cancer, kidney cancer, and pregnancy-induced hypertension as presumptive diseases to PFAS exposure. This bill would allow health care for veterans and family members who were exposed to PFAS on military installations and develop the same recognized diseases.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		5/9/2023	1	0	10	$0.00	Support letter for HR.1606, the Veterans Entrepreneurship Training Act, which would statutorily authorize the Boots to Business (B2B) program that helps transitioning service members to start and grow businesses.

About 250,000 service members transition to civilian life each year. The VA Transition Assistance Program (TAP) provides information, resources, and tools to service members and their loved ones to help prepare for the move from military to civilian life. The EMPLOY VETS Act would expand the definition of eligible veterans for VA job counseling, training and placement services for veterans by adding those service members who are eligible for TAP. HR.1799 will provide the assistance they need to achieve their employment goal.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		1/18/2024	1	0	10	$0.00	Disable Veterans Act, which would provide additional protections for TDIU (Total Disability Based on individual Unemployability) and prohibit the VA from considering the age of the veteran or their to any retirement benefit, including Social Security, in making such determinations. TDIU is based on the severity of the individual veteran's unique disability picture and its impact on the veterans' ability to obtain and maintain substantial gainful employment. Generally, the veteran must have a single disability rated at 60s/a or a combined evaluation of 7Aa/s to be eligible for TDIU. Congressional Budget Office {CBO) recommended to restrict TDIU once a veteran reaches the age after 67. HR.6362 would ensure the availability of TDIU for all veterans regardless of age or receipt of any other earned federal benefits.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		1/30/2024	1	0	8	$0.00	Support letter sent for S.3452, the Fred Hamilton Veterans' Lost Records Act, which would ensure veterans whose military records are lost the US government through no fault of their own can still receive their earned VA benefits. After a 1973 fire at the National Personnel Records Center destroyed the records of nearly 16 million veterans, VA established a regulatory process for those affected that allowed veterans whose records were lost to use the next closed medical record or a buddy statement to meet the burden of proof required for VA health care and benefits. S.3452 would expand that process to all veterans whose records were lost by the VA or the Department of Defense. The Fred Hamilton Veterans' Lost Records Act would authorize VA to grant disability claims using previous medical disability exams, credible buddy statements, or a statement from impacted veterans whose records were lost or destroyed through no fault of their own.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		2/21/2024	1	0	9	$0.00	Support letter for HR.2413, the Dental care for Veterans Act.

AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		6/22/2023	1	0	11	$0.00	Support letter for HR.4886, The Aviator Cancer Examination Study (ACES). The bill would require the VA to study the incidence of cancer amount individual who served on military air crews. Military aircrew personnel may experience occupational exposure to galactic cosmic radiation ultraviolet radiation and non-ionizing intra-cockpit radiation, leading some to speculate about an increased risk of malignancy. The ACES Act would require the VA to enter into an agreement with the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine to study the incidence and mortality among individual who served in the regular or reserve components of the Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps as air crew members on a fixed-wing aircraft. This legislation will assist in determining if those who served on air crews are more likely to develop cancer.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		3/14/2024	1	0	6	$0.00	.Six auxiliary members sent support letters for HR.251 and S.3614 to three Legislators (Duarte, Padilla, Butler). This bill would designate the outpatient clinic of the VA in Vallejo, California as the "Delphine Metcalf-Foster VA Clinic. Delphine Metcalf-Foster has dedicated her life in service to this country and to veteran community. She was injured in 1991 and retired from service in 1996. After retirement, she found support through the DAV and began volunteering in 2017. .HR.251 and S.3614, would recognize the service, sacrifices and impact of a woman veterans leader and pioneer who was instrumental in helping to remove barriers for veterans in accessing their health care and benefits.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		5/30/2023	1	0	8	$0.00	Support letter for PFAS Exposure Assessment and Documentation Act. Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made chemicals that do not break down in the environment and can be found in fire-fighting foam. The release of these chemicals into the environment during training and emergency responses is a major source of PFAS contamination of ground water on military bases. According to DOD data, more than 700 US military sites are known or likely to have discharge PFAS. PFAS exposure has been related to several diseases including increased risk for kidney cancer, breast cancer, testicular cancer and liver cancer. The VA does not concede PFAS exposure to those who served at any location, nor have related any diseases to the exposure. 1360 would require DOD to provide periodic health assessment of those service members exposed, know to or suspected to be exposed.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		4/20/2023	1	0	10	$0.00	Support Letter for HR.542, the Elizabeth Dole Home Care Act. Over the next two decades, an aging veteran population will require long-term care. The VA must focus on addressing staffing and infrastructure gaps in order to maintain excellence in skilled nursing care. The VA also need to expand access nationwide to innovative and cost-effective home- and community-based services. HR-542, would enhance the VA's program of long-term services and supports, and increase timely accesses to both institutional and noninstitutional long-term services to meet increasing demand.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		8/29/2023	1	0	10	$0.00	Support letter for HR.4061, which would require the Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to establish an exposure registry and conduct epidemiological studies to assess negative health outcomes due to the water contamination at the Red Hill Underground Fuel Storage Facility at Joint base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. In May 2021, 20,000 gallons of fuel leaked from a storage tank and sat in the drain line for six months, until the drain line ruptures and released the fuel, where it then flowed into the ground surrounding the facility and into an underground aquifer. The Navy's water well nearest to the Red Hill facility was found to be heavily contaminated with diesel and petroleum hydrocarbons associated with gasoline. A survey found that 87% of individuals reported being sickened and 37% seeking medical care to address their symptoms. The Navy water system serves approximately 93,000 people on Joint Base Pearl harbor-Hickam and the long-term health impacts caused by the contaminated water supply need to be determined.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		8/24/2023	1	0	9	$0.00	Support letter for HR.3489, The Restore Veterans' Compensation Act of 2023 would afford justice for ill and injured veterans by eliminating the unfair practice of VA recouping separation payments, which are based on their military service and differ from VA disability compensation. VA disability compensation can often be the difference between making ends meet and homelessness for many of our nation's disabled veterans, which is why the practice of withholding a veteran's VA disability compensation due to non-related military separation benefit must end.

This bill would establish a pilot program with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide pregnant and post-parturn women veterans access to doula service in an effort to foster better child and unmaternal health outcomes. Pregnancy, labor and delivery, and the early days of motherhood, can be difficult in the best of circumstances, but for women veterans, they can be further complicated by physical and mental health conditions related to military service-this includes anxiety, depression PTS due to combat or military sexual trauma, musculoskeletal problems and neurological issues. Doulas act as advocates before, during and after pregnancy, helping expectant and new mothers navigate their birth experience and empowering them to self-advocate for their care.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		4/24/2024	1	0	7	$0.00	Sent support letter to 1 legislator (Duarte) for bill HR.5530, the VA Emergency Transportation Access Act. This bill would limit the VA's ability to change payment rates for transporting veterans and eligible individuals on specialized transportation modes.

The bill would require the VA's telephone call line to include an automated response system that would do two things: 1) advise the caller of the anticipated wait time and 2) offer the caller the ability to receive a callback if the wait time is excessive. With over 1 million disability compensation and pension call, the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) has estimated that one claim generates eight separate contacts to the call centers. This means that VA could expect 8 million calls this year.
AUXILIARY 8327	Legislative		6/15/2023	1	0	11	$0.00	Support letter for S.1590 & HR.3790-the Justice for ALS Veterans Act, which would provide increased DIC payments ot surviving spouses of veterans who die from ALS regardless of how long they had been rated as totally disabled prior to death. Current law allows an additional DIC monthly payments of $331.84 to survivors in the case of a veteran, who at the time of death was in receipt of or entitled to received compensation for a service-connected disability that was rated totally disabling for a continuous period of at least eight years immediately preceding death. This extra compensation installment is commonly referred to as the DIC "kicker". Individuals diagnosed with ALS only have an average lifespan of between 2-5 years meaning that, sadly, many veterans are unable to meet the existing 8-year total disability requirements to become eligible for the additional "kicker" compensation benefit.

Mentoring for Leadership District 17 February 14, 2024 Empowerment Through Mentorship - Elevating Leadership within the VFW Auxiliary Dear VFW Auxiliary Members of District 17, As we embrace the month of February, we embark on a journey of mentorship and leadership development within our esteemed organization. The Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary has always stood as a beacon of support for our veterans, service members, and their families. However, to continue our legacy of service, we must foster the next generation of leaders within our ranks. Throughout this month, we are proud to highlight the theme of "Mentoring for Leadership" as a pivotal initiative. We firmly believe that mentorship is the cornerstone upon which strong leadership is built. By sharing knowledge, experience, and guidance, we can cultivate a community of empowered leaders who are equipped to carry forward the mission of the VFW Auxiliary with passion and dedication. Here's how you can get involved and contribute to this invaluable endeavor: 1. Be a Mentor: Whether you're a seasoned leader or someone who has recently stepped into a leadership role, your experience is invaluable. Consider volunteering as a mentor to a fellow member who seeks guidance and support in their journey within the Auxiliary. 2. Seek Mentorship: Don't hesitate to reach out and seek mentorship from those who have walked the path before you. There's a wealth of knowledge within our organization, and our members are eager to support one another's growth and development. 3. Engage in Leadership Training: Take advantage of the various leadership training opportunities offered by the VFW Auxiliary. From workshops to webinars, these resources are designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in your leadership role. 4.

Mrs Garcia stated that she and her husband both had COVID, and that Ernie was in the Hospital (Not VA, but at home now) and shared her concerns that if Ernie should pass away, she had no idea what to do and wanted help with the planning process and comfort and/or volunteer to help her. They do not have local family, and friends are starting to pass. She sought out the help from the VFW to which they belong. I did some research online, spoke with Mrs Garcia 3 times on the phone. I gave Mrs Garcia some information, phone numbers and local Veteran and various senior service contacts, and volunteers for El Dorado County in which they live. I emailed a contact I have at the Sacramento Veterans Memorial Hospital at Mather and was given 2 great additional contacts. I told them I would pray for them and keep them in my prayers, and that some one from the VFW will reach out to them very soon to followup. Mrs Garcia was extremely grateful for my help and said I was a very sweet person and also added that "Good thing I was a Chaplain".

AUXILIARY 8985	Mentoring / Leadership		10/14/2023	2	23	1	$0.00	As a District 17 Advisor, I was asked to attend the Official Visit of Aux. 67 by our District President. The reason for my presence was to be a second ear for our District President as 2 of the District officers are from this Post home and the incident of the one being restrained from her Post home and The Auxiliary President, were not being truthful with each other nor with our District President. A third member of this Auxiliary had call me prior to this meeting explaining how bad the Post has become in their treatment of the Auxiliary. During the Suggestions for the good of the order, I suggested the possibility of my setting up something for the Auxiliary where I would have VFW presence from an upper level to help with the matter of what the 3rd member had called me about, and the members thoughts that the drinking member was wrongfully put on restraint and they wanted to be heard. The were grateful that I would help to make this happen. In retrospect, All of the advice given, to the drinking member, was not taken seriously as I heard that this member got loud and spewed everything after the POW/MIA event at another Post home. I advised District President to ask the 2 District Officers to stop calling her with twisted stories. I do not believe these two should move on. Unfortunately, not always what is advised is taken to better the situation. One can only try.
AUXILIARY 8985	Mentoring / Leadership		11/8/2023	1	32	1	$0.00	As District 17 advisor, I was requested by District President to attend a meeting with two (2) Auxiliary members, Treasurer and Secretary and District Commander. Purpose was to hear issues the Auxiliary was having to put out items and the Post Commander along with the immediate Past Auxiliary President. Hearing the issues, I advised the members that any time they wished to have anything else to do in their Post home aside from their regular meeting night, that they needed permission from the Post Commander, House Committee or whomever they are told the contact is. I further advised that they ensure when they have permission, that they see that the event gets on the Post Calendar. They were happy to learn this. On other matters, The District Commander was attentive to the issues with the Post. I was able to prompt the Treasurer from what she had relayed the issues were and circumstances that were happening. I provided a report to District President and Commander of my recollection of what was said and the 3 steps the District Commander will take to help the Auxiliary. I learned the next day, that the Post is on Suspension and the Commander was removed with cause. I stayed for the Auxiliary meeting. I was able to instruct the following. 1. When reading the minutes, the Secretary needs to read what she wrote rather than try to summarize the minutes she wrote. It gives for a better flow and makes it easier for members to hear what occurred. 2. Treasurer had mentioned and talked about a $50.00 check from a member. She then asked if she wanted the members to read all her entries. The members said no in unison. I asked for permission to speak and advised the members that they should want to know what monies were received and from whom as well as how their money is being spent, who is being paid and for what should be of utmost importance. I cited 3 examples. Most then agreed and one member spoke, up saying, "You are right, I do want to know what is going on." I answered questions from the members regarding membership applications and audit forms. Showed Treasure how and where to locate the membership application on MALTA. I advised her to send a message or use the order form I showed her on MALTA to order the Membership brochures.

When the District meeting was over. myself and the other 2 advisors of our District met with this officer advise the member that her action in her Post home was unbecoming of a member serving as a District Officer. She was advised, as an Officer of the District, her actions has to reflect better than being placed on restricting of going into her own Post home. We all agreed that she needed to rethink about drinking so she is in control and not the drinking controlling her.. I had received several calls from this member and responded to her questions and made some suggestions.
