Eddie--Thanks for the work you have put into this. Vets need to stick together on this and not count on support from the current batch of politicians, although enough uprising does produce results. Your help and efforts on behalf of the Wounded Warrior projects have been very appreciated for this very worthwhile project.It was great visiting with you at the Winternationals last week, hope to see you at Irwindale.

Spent an hour with an Assemblywomen, who is the Chair for the CA Veteran Affairs Committee, today discussing the establishment of a California Transition Assistance Program (CAL Tap) that will address the placement of transitioning Vets into the trades via the apprenticeship programs of the trades. This will include Wounded Warriors. Feel very positive that we will get an endorsement for grant money to make this happen.

Thank you Greg and Gary! It is something that needs to be done and I will never rest as long as I can throw the rope back over the wall and help my brothers and sisters.

What fun would it be if everyone agreed?

Interestingly, I got my first "form letter" today from the Department of Veterans Affairs. the letter indicates that they are processing my application and they apologize for the delay.

So, the wheels of progress are turning....that is a good thing.

Gary, That is a form letter and they will continue to put one out about once a month. Hang in there!!
