Dear Comrades
The Booster Dinner that was held on the 10th of August was a big success. We
had about 80 attendees. The food was great and everyone seemed to have a good
time. We need to have this many attendees at all of our functions., even more
would be better.
Bill Meisel, a loyal and hard working member of our post has been very ill with
congestive heart failure. He is in Fish Memorial Hospital in Orange City, located
on Saxon Boulevard. He is in room 240. He would appreciate visitors from the
post.
Thanks to all who were so kind to send cards and especially prayers for Evelyn’s
recovery from a knee replacement. She is doing much better now.
In closing, keep our troops in your prayers till they are all home with their loved
ones. GOD BLESS AMERICA
UNITED WE STAND
Artie Vecchio. Commander

According to the United Press, August 5, 2013, Gen. Frank Grass told soldiers and airmen of the Kansas National Guard
during a stop at the State Defense Building in Topeka that the 460,00 member force is capable of continuing missions both
overseas and domestically. National Guard Air and Army units should be able to maintain their readiness and deployment
capabilities indefinitely despite a murky federal military budget, the general said. He said he has spoken with Army Chief
of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno about keeping Guard units in the mix for traditional rotations to Kosovo, the Sinai Peninsula
and the Horn of Africa in coming years. Grass would also like to see the Guard continue missions in other countries for
several months that could be integrated into two-or three week annual training programs. Grass, a member of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, said while fewer soldiers and airmen may deploy in the coming years, those rotations will be shorter then in
the past decade. He also said the National Guard isn't immune to the federal spending challenges facing the Pentagon, but
any decision about cutting the number of reserve forces in uniform hasn't been made yet. The automatic budget cuts that
took effect in March resulted in more then 48,000 National Guard technicians being furloughed through the end of the
current fiscal year. "We're almost in daily conversations right now trying to figure out how can the Guard pay our part of
the bill but still keep a very strong Guard." he said, noting he expects to have a meeting with the adjutants general soon.
The National Guard share of the military's budget is $25 billion.
