I hope you are firmly within the loop now! :) Thanks for coming!

[MistyCA]

thank you for coming to the Foxhole. Sam does beautiful threads and we all appreciate it so much! We are so glad to be able to share these things with everyone. Thanks, Jim Robinson!

[MistyCA]

Wow....that's pretty scary! Let's hope not!

[MistyCA]

LOL, Jen! Thanks. It's not supposed to be that way, you know! :)

Thank you, Sam for putting up the information on DAV. My husband is the Department Service Officer at DAV in Kerrville, Texas, and he says it is sad that many people have no idea that DAV helps veterans with disability claims, in addition to the many other things they do.

[MistyCA]

Whoa! Yes!!! Way to go Mary Beth! The French speak for themselves all too well. So do we Americans! Yeah!

[MistyCA]

There are no false pretenses. All Americans are welcome here. Veteran's issues belong to all of us. I am not a veteran either. Please, hang out and enjoy Sam's history lessons with us. You are always welcome here, and your input will always be appreciated!

[MistyCA]

Oh, Wow! that's so neat! Thank you! I feel like the 12 days of Christmas! Each day you bring on something new and make it even better! :)

[MistyCA]

LOL re the whore at the helm! I am glad we don't have whores waiting in the backrooms either! :)

[MistyCA]

LOL...I love the part about the Euroweenies! You can't take the West out of an American, nor the American out of the West! We are here to stay, and they hate it!

YIPPEE! YeeeHaw!

[MistyCA]

Thanks for coming by!

[MistyCA]

Thank you very much for sharing that information with everyone here!

[MistyCA]

Thanks Jen. YOu might want to add her to our links page. :)

I too am grateful for the assistance I recieved in filing for my disability claims about a year ago. The guys manning the local office at the Houston VA have been a lot of help with that. They however thought they were being helpful when they steered me to what they said was a local active chapter in my neck of the woods.

Went by the address they supplied me and the building (an old canteen/dancehall/gameroom) was all boarded up and appeared to have been for sometime. I visited a web site for the national DAV and only found mention of a Forth Worth, TX chapter as being the supposedly only other chapter near me.

I live about 40+ miles north of Houston (just barely due south of Cleveland, Tx) and the Porter, Tx chapter was the nearest to me supposedly. How can I find out what chapter really is nearest me in the 77372 zip code?

Maybe you can help Ron H with his problem of trying to find a chapter in Texas near him.

[MistyCA]

Which one of you is going to invite Rachel to visit us here?

[MistyCA]

Hi,Larry! thanks for coming to the Foxhole! It's great to see you here. :)

[MistyCA]

Thank you for the post,aomagrat! It is very much appreciated!

[MistyCA]

It's good to see you! :)

[MistyCA]

thank you so much for bringing that here, Jen! There is so much we can all do, and it doesn't require a big effort from any one of us to do a lot for our vets. I think of the vets who will be alone at Xmas (and others, btw) and it breaks my heart.

Thanks for the plug. And I love your comparison of a ping to a trail of crumbs. How about a wiff of perfume?
