I was reminded of this in the November 2009 newsletter from Project "We Remember." (See www. ProjectWeRemember.org.) Veteran Vernon Bagley, executive director of this project and of Military Families Foundation, shares with us that approximately 66 percent of all U.S. veterans are not eligible for any VA benefits because they were not in a combat zone, not wounded, nor did they become ill on active duty. That's just wrong. /Events/tabid/142/ctl/Details/mid/654/ItemID/28/Default.aspx SuperUser Account Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT Before I speak about my experiences, I want to thank all of our law enforcement, our intelligence services and especially our military personnel for keeping us free from terrorism for the past 8 years.

Mitchell, Jr. LCSW, Chair, Social Work Department, Carl T. Hayden Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Phoenix, AZ. My principal mission was to determine the degree of “need” there is associated with the concept of Project: “We Remember”.   First let me say that everyone that I have talked with both at the Tampa, FL VA Center and here at the Phoenix, AZ VA Center have been absolutely astonished by the concept and see an incredible need for this type of activity. There is a program which is supported by the VA called The Fisher House, where the Fisher family in association with the VA started building facilities on selected VA Center Campus that would house from 6 to 12 families who could visit during the hospital stay but the demand far exceeds the need and certain VA Centers do not have the space on campus or the budget to request a Fisher House.  /Events/tabid/142/ctl/Details/mid/654/ItemID/1/Default.aspx Wealth Admin Mon, 14 May 2007 00:00:00 GMT
