Reveille for the Veteran's Committee

[Photo:  the first meeting up the Veteran's Committee--up before dawn to serve!]

We've started a new committee at Dublin A.M. Rotary, dedicated to serving the interests of our country's veterans. We have a lot of enthusiasm to support our annual Honor Flight but we're planning on starting several other initiatives.We're going to assist Dr. Chrisanne Gordon with her work on veterans who suffer from Traumatic brain Injury--the project we heard about at a meeting three weeks ago. We are going to work to inform and educate the community about ways to help veterans and the families of veterans who have continued deployments, especially perhaps through the Blue Star Moms initiative. We've going to work to get returning veterans more education so that they can be competitive in the job market.

I encourage everyone to get involved!  You don't have to be a veteran to be on the committee. The more folks we have on the committee, the more activities we can sponsor. The need for action is great.  Thanks for your help.
