We are dedicated to a single purpose: empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives
with respect and dignity. We accomplish this by ensuring that veterans and their families
can access the full range of benefits available to them; fighting for the interests of
America’s injured heroes on Capitol Hill; and educating the public about the great
sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life.

REMEMBER YOUR CHAPTER!
I take pleasure in thanking those members who continually support our Chapter through their efforts physically, monetarily, or both. In support to help in maintaining this diamond in the rough, however; just those few alone are trying carry the load of what it takes for many to do.
There are over one thousand members in this chapter. I am asking everyone to please extend your talent and/or donations to partake in some of the repairs and activities geared toward the betterment of our fellow veterans

It was a wonderful sunny day, and we were all very proud to represent our Chapter and Unit 84.

Chapter Sr. Vice Commander
REMINDER
All Veterans, please remember to have a will or trust, and all of your personal business in order. If your will or trust was written in another state, it is no good in Florida! If it is 20 years old or more, it's no good, update it! Use an attorney of your choice.
Mel Stack is available and will offer Veterans a discount for his service. If you're a retired Military Veteran or 100% disabled, this service is available on any military base. You must call to make an appointment.
