Hello everyone. The new officers have been installed and are now ready for Action. My term started off with a BANG! It's actually been a few weeks now but people are talking about it. The 'HOE-DOWN' Many thanks to ALL who made that happen. Teo, Carlos, Mary, Czec, Sherryl, Tony, Janet, Steve, Pam, Japana. Art, Andre and his crew and everyone else that brought western gear, props and helped out. Special thanks have to go to Bill and Doff who lead the way in decorations. They've only been members a short time - jumped right in to help - and are now moving to be closer to their grandchild. They will be missed. (But not forgotten). Janet and the Fundraising Committee are getting it done with BUNCO and the HOE DOWN so far. Next is going to be a Halloween party... Look for it in the September bulletin.VOLUNTEERS …ALWAYS NEEDED GET INVOLVED …IT'S YOUR POST ……SUPPORT OUR TROOPS

VETERANS INFORMATION
BRYON BOEHMKE POST SERVICE OFFICER
For those Comrades who I haven't met yet, my name is Bryon Boehmke, your Post Service Officer. I came here from Northern Wisconsin in January and took a job as a Strategic Communications Specialist with the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center. In that capacity, I basically market the Institute both internally and externally on a global basis in support of OIF/OEF for all branches of the Armed Forces. A major part of my job is community relations, so I'm in tune with veterans programs and support activities both in Monterey and California. I am a Life Member of DAV/VFW/American Legion and member of MOAA, NAUS, Air Force Association, and Monterey Bay Veterans, Inc. I retired from the Air Force in 1991, after 21 years, as a Public Affairs Staff Officer. I was both Enlisted and Officer. As your Service Officer, I promise you I'll find an answer to your questions and attempt to keep you informed of what's happening to and for Veterans both locally and nationally. On Saturday, June 21st, California DAV will be at the Veterans' Transition Center in Marina from 8 to 5 pm (or until all Veteran's questions are answered). I will be there to assist and learn from the experts. I can be reached at (715) 927-1945 (cell), (831) 242-6722 (work) or boehmkebryon@yahoo.com.Thank you for this opportunity to serve. Above All, Bryon
June 4, 2008 NAUS Legislative Director Rick Jones testified before the Senate Committee on Appropriations, Sub-committee on Defense Appropriations, urging the Senate to reject Pentagon plans to hike TRICARE costs and fees by fully funding the military health care system. NAUS also testified in support of a 3.9% pay raise in 2009, to continue to reduce the military pay gap. The testimony covered several other important issues including seamless transition of health care of veterans from DoD to the VA system, research and care in the areas of prosthetics, PTSD and TBI, and force protection from IEDs.
