Comrades, Brothers, and Sisters,

     And a warm greeting to all. It seems that after the holidays have passed there is an extraordinary lull until spring. And that Ladies and Gentlemen is why we are here to try and liven up our month to month doldrums as you can see by our event flyers included in this package.
     As you are probably aware, the Blue Water Servicemen and Women are now able to qualify for benefits that were only issued to ground troops. So, get signed up today. Along with that thought, please read the flyer concerning the VA Mission Act and also the VAMC transportation sheet-very informative reading.
     Lastly, our post is sorely in need of new members. Please, talk it up to your friends, neighbors, co-workers and anyone you come in contact with that you believe would benefit by our comradery and fellowship.
     Thanking you in advance for your assistance in these monthly activities and recruiting efforts.  I remain your comrade in arms.
