Something to think about
“How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself and in no instance bypass the discriminations of reason? You have been given the principles that you ought to endorse, and you have endorsed them. What kind of teacher, then, are you still waiting for in order to refer your self-improvement to him? You are no longer a boy, but a full-grown man. If you are careless and lazy now and keep putting things off and always deferring the day after which you will attend to yourself, you will not notice that you are making no progress, but you will live and die as someone quite ordinary. From now on, then, resolve to live as a grown-up who is making progress, and make whatever you think best a law that you never set aside. And whenever you encounter anything that is difficult or pleasurable, or highly or lowly regarded, remember that the contest is now: you are at the Olympic Games, you cannot wait any longer, and that your progress is wrecked or preserved by a single day and a single event. That is how Socrates fulfilled himself by attending to nothing except reason in everything he encountered. And you, although you are not yet a Socrates, should live as someone who at least wants to be a Socrates.”

Congressional Reform Act
Regardless of your political leanings, I hope you will consider this message and pass it around, if for no other reason than to generate conversation about this issue. This may be someone's pipe dream for all I know, but we can dream, can't we?
Trump Rule’s Congressional Reform Act Of 2018:
1 – No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman / Woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they’re out of office. No more perks go with them.
2 – Congressman / Woman ( past, present & future ) participate in social security. All funds in the Congressional Retirement Fund move to the Social Security System immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security System, and Congress participates with the American People. It may not be used for any other purposes.
3 – Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4 – Congress will no longer vote themselves pay increases. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5 – Congress loses their current Healthcare System and participates in the same Healthcare System as the American people.
6 – Congress must equally abide by all the laws, they impose on the American people.
7 – All contracts with past and present Congressman / Woman are void. The American people did not make these contracts with Congressmen / Women. The Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their terms, then go home and go back to work, and not get all kinds of freebies! They should live under the same laws we all live under for a change.
If each person contacts a minimum of 20 people, It will only take 3 days for most people in the United States to receive this message. It’s time for us to take action.

Take Action: Blue Water Navy Bill Must Pass Before End of Year LR Lou Rothenstein
Background: In July, the House of Representatives unanimously passed H.R. 299, the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act of 2018, to end the injustice of denying Vietnam, Korean DMZ, and Thailand veterans who suffer from life-threatening health conditions the care and benefits they deserve.
This important bill continues to be stalled in the Senate. The VFW needs your help to make sure this bill is passed before the end of the year. If the Senate fails to do so, the bill will die and may never be considered again.
Take Action: Contact your Senators to demand that the Senate passes H.R. 299. The Senate must not delay passage of this important bill while Blue Water Navy veterans sicken and die from diseases related to exposure to Agent Orange.
Please show your support on social media:
On Facebook (copy and paste the text below):
I stand with the Veterans of Foreign Wars and call on @vachair and the full Senate to pass H.R. 299! Rather than continue studying the health of Blue Water Navy veterans for yet another decade while those veterans sicken and die from diseases related to exposure to herbicides, the Senate must grant long-overdue benefits to the thousands of veterans who served their country off the shores of Vietnam. http://capwiz.com/vfw/issues/alert/?alertid=80552661
Or Call (202) 224-3121 and ask to be transferred to your Senators.

Mule: When bravery was abundant
Mule: When bravery was abundant
James Earl Parker Jr., code name Mule was born October 25th, 1942 in Rockingham, North Carolina. He passed on October 9th, 2018. He was a friend and one of my favorite storytellers. A fellow member of China Post 1, he was the official historian of history in general. We often discussed someone from the past that had an impact on the world as we know it, perhaps the heroics of some who fought and died honorably for what they believed in, and several people we both knew or worked near over the years. Not only did he contribute to the field of intelligence, but he was also a teacher of history and had that rare ability to help one measure the impact that one small operation or person had on much larger conflicts. Our local groups, both formal and informal will miss Mule.
The following is from his blog which is has been a refuge for me to retreat to over the years, “Muleorations” http://www.muleorations.com/about-the-author.html. Jim wrote of his experiences in Vietnam, Laos and other areas of the world he experienced from his travels, people he worked with or knew, and his service in the U.S. Army and CIA.
“When Jim was 15 years old he ran away from home, ending up in Havana, Cuba. His parents were not amused and not long after he returned he was enrolled in the Oak Ridge Military Academy for an attitude adjustment.
There he learned discipline but he was still driven by a-rambling', rambunctious curiosity; summers he worked as a Myrtle Beach lifeguard. He went on to UNC/Chapel Hill, played lacrosse, flunked out, went with a couple of buddies down to Managua, Nicaragua but was chased out by what would become the Sandinistas. He flew to Florida, worked at a Miami hotel, returned to college for one more semester before dropping out to join the US Army.
THE VIETNAM WAR ITS OWNSELF 2nd edition chronicles his Vietnam War experiences; Parker was among the first in as a 22-year-old Second Lieutenant Platoon Leader in 1965 and he was the last to leave in 1975. In between, he married, graduated UNC and joined the Central Intelligence Agency. His first CIA assignment was upcountry Laos where he led Hmong hills tribe guerrillas against two divisions of North Vietnamese mainline soldiers. His detailed account of this top secret activity was published in hardback by the Naval Institute Press, titled CODENAME MULE - reprinted in paperback by St Martin's Press as COVERT OPS. His LAST MAN OUT also reports on his Vietnam experiences.
After para-military chores in Laos/Vietnam, Parker went on to serve undercover as a case handler in the CIA’s Directorate of Operations, retiring in 1992.
He's been places and done things.
In the military, he received the Bronze Star with "V" and the Purple Heart. In the CIA, he received two Certificates of Outstanding Service, a Certificate of Distinction and the Intelligence Medal.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE
No. NR-248-18
Aug. 25, 2018
Statement by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. on the Passing of Senator John McCain
Statement by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, Jr.:
"Senator McCain exemplified what it means to be a warrior and dedicated public servant. Both as a naval officer and as a member of Congress, he was a lifelong and tireless advocate for the men and women of the U.S. military.
"He traveled the world to meet personally with Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, to hear what they had to say, and to see firsthand our military in action on the front lines. Senator McCain recognized the sacrifice and hardships military members and their families can experience and proudly served as their champion in Congress. He visited our nation's wounded warriors around the country to offer encouragement and to thank them for their service. Through his tenacious and selfless leadership in the Senate, he fought hard to ensure our Armed Forces remained strong and had the support and resources needed to succeed when placed in harm's way.
"While we mourn Senator McCain's passing, we are eternally grateful for his distinguished service to our nation, his advocacy of the U.S. military, and the incredible example he set for us all."

STAND UP FOR BILL (And Other Veterans and Their Families)
STAND UP FOR BILL
(And Other Veterans and Their Families)
I would like to create state and federal legislation that does
the following:
1. Directs the Veterans Administration (VA) and
the Nevada Department of Veterans Services to create free, accredited
continuing professional education (CPE) for civilian health care workers and
paramedical case workers (including social workers and chaplains) on veterans
health issues.
2. Directs all health care providers to change
their intake forms and health questionnaires to ask if patients “had any US
military service” in order to “begin the conversation”. Self identified veterans should be asked to
fill out an additional military questionnaire.
A proposed format is available.
3. Directs the Department of Veterans Affairs to
require that all health care workers (including VA health care workers and
CHOICE doctors) be familiar with compensable diseases and disabilities so they
can refer Vets and their families to the VA benefits office for evaluation and additional
assistance.
4. Directs the VA and the
Nevada Department of Veterans Services to use public service announcements and
other media to reach out to veterans and their families to inform them about
presumed connected disabilities and report back to the Secretary of Veterans
Affairs, the Nevada state governor and the veterans legislative committee
annually on the effectiveness of these techniques.
5. Directs the VA and the
Nevada Department of Veterans Services to prominently display flyers and other
media on presumed connected disabilities to all offices that work with veterans
and their families, including VA cemeteries.
6. Directs the VA and the
Nevada Department of Veterans Services to prominently display flyers and other
media about survivor benefits to all offices that work with veterans and their
families, including VA cemeteries.
7. Directs the VA and the
Nevada Department of Veterans Services to contact civilian support groups that
routinely work with people who have one of the presumed connected disabilities
(e.g. the American Heart Association, the American Lung Association or the
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society) and work with them to identify veterans, children
and grandchildren who have a disease presumed connected to
military service. Identified veterans and family members should be referred to
designated VA resources. Records of
these referrals should be rolled up to the governor, state legislative affairs
committee and the Secretary of Veterans
Affairs on a yearly basis.
8. Directs each state to
keep records and prepare a yearly report to the governor, the veterans
legislative committee and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs evaluating the
effectiveness of the training delivered, contacts made and media used to
provide information to veterans, spouses and health care professionals.
WE
MUST ACT NOW
• We
must make sure that Vietnam Veterans who have a presumed connected disease take
full advantage of the benefits that they earned by their service to our
country.
• We
must make sure that Vietnam Veteran survivors have access to the benefits that
their loved one earned by their service to our country.
• We
must make sure that veterans from other conflicts such as the Korean War, the
Gulf War, Iraq War, the war in Afghanistan, certain defense department projects
and Camp Lejeune know about the diseases and disabilities presumed connected to
their military service.
•
We must act now to protect the children
and grandchildren of veterans who were exposed to toxic substances
during their military service.
The VA has recognized certain cancers and other health
problems as presumptive diseases associated with exposure
to Agent Orange or other herbicides during military service. Veterans and their survivors
may be eligible for benefits for these diseases.
•
A rare
disease caused when an abnormal protein, amyloid, enters tissues or organs
•
A type of
cancer which affects white blood cells
•
A skin
condition that occurs soon after exposure to chemicals and looks like common
forms of acne seen in teenagers. Under VA's rating regulations, it must be at
least 10 percent disabling within one year of exposure to herbicides.
•
A disease
characterized by high blood sugar levels resulting from the body’s inability to
respond properly to the hormone insulin
•
A
malignant lymphoma (cancer) characterized by progressive enlargement of the
lymph nodes, liver, and spleen, and by progressive anemia
•
A disease
characterized by a reduced supply of blood to the heart, that leads to chest
pain also called coronary artery disease
•
A cancer
of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell in bone marrow
•
A group
of cancers that affect the lymph glands and other lymphatic tissue
•
A
progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects muscle movement
•
A nervous
system condition that causes numbness, tingling, and motor weakness. Under VA's
rating regulations, it must be at least 10 percent disabling within one year of
herbicide exposure
•
A
disorder characterized by liver dysfunction and by thinning and blistering of
the skin in sun-exposed areas. Under VA's rating regulations, it must be at
least 10 percent disabling within one year of exposure to herbicides
•
Cancer of
the prostate; one of the most common cancers among men
and cancers
of the lung, larynx, trachea, and bronchus
•
Soft Tissue Sarcomas (other
than osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, or mesothelioma) A group
of different types of cancers in body tissues such as muscle, fat, blood and
lymph vessels, and connective tissues
•
Amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis aka Lou Gehrig’s disease causes the death of neuron controlling voluntary
muscles. This disease is associated with
service in Vietnam.
If you would like
to help me in this effort, or if you have ideas
on how to spread the word about presumed connected disabilities, please
feel free to contact me. I am Barbara Rodgick
and I am the widow of an Agent Orange Vet.

Why Does America Celebrate The 4th Of July? SOMETIMES A REMINDER IS IN ORDER.
Why Does America Celebrate The 4th Of July? SOMETIMES A REMINDER IS IN ORDER.
"An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy; because there is a limit beyond which no institution and no property can bear taxation." —John Marshall (1819) "We are all born ignorant, but one must work very hard to stay
STUPID!"
Benjamin Franklin
(1706-1790)
Subject: Why Does America Celebrate The 4th Of July?
If you concur, please pass it on. If NOT, just delete.
Tomorrow is America's 242nd Independence Day, colloquially known as the Fourth of July. It is alwayscelebrated with fireworks, parades, cookouts and concerts.
But how did July 4th become the day? On that day in 1776, the Continental Congress ratified our Founding Fathers first founding document, the Declaration of Independence. One of three documents known as the Charters of Freedom, the original Declaration of Independence is displayed in the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
Here's the facts from the National Archive's website:
• The Declaration of Independence announces a complete break with Great Britain and expresses the ideals on which the United States was founded: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
How it came to be
• In the early 1770's, American colonists, under British rule, saw a pattern of increasing oppression, tyranny and corruption happening all around the world. The colonists elected delegates to attend a Continental Congress that eventually became the governing body of the union during the Revolution. Its second meeting convened in Philadelphia in 1775. In less than a year, most of the delegates abandoned hope of reconciliation with Great Britain. On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee introduced a resolution “that these united colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent states.” They appointed a Committee of Five to write an announcement explaining the reasons for independence. Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, who chaired the committee and had established himself as a bold and talented political writer, wrote the first draft. Other members of the committee were: John Adams of Massachusetts; Roger Sherman of Connecticut; Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania; and Robert R. Livingston of New York.
• On June 11, 1776, Jefferson holed up in his Philadelphia boarding house and began to write. He borrowed freely from existing documents like the Virginia Declaration of Rights and incorporated accepted ideals of the Enlightenment. Jefferson later explained that “he was not striving for originality of principal or sentiment.” Instead, he hoped his words served as an “expression of the American mind.” Less than three weeks after he’d begun, he presented his draft to Congress.
• On July 2, 1776, Congress voted to declare independence. Two days later, it ratified the text of the Declaration. John Dunlap, official printer to Congress, worked through the night to set the Declaration in type and print approximately 200 copies. These copies, known as the Dunlap Broadsides, were sent to various committees, assemblies and commanders of the Continental troops.
• One of the most widely held misconceptions about the Declaration is that it was signed on July 4, 1776, by all the delegates in attendance.
• By July 9, the action of Congress had been officially approved by all 13 colonies. On July 19, Congress ordered the Declaration be "fairly engrossed on parchment, with the title and stile [sic] of 'The unanimous declaration of the thirteen United States of America,' and that the same, when engrossed, be signed by every member of Congress."
• On Aug. 2, the journal of the Continental Congress records that "The declaration of independence being engrossed and compared at the table was signed."
• John Hancock, the President of the Congress, was the first to sign the sheet of parchment measuring 24¼ by 29¾ inches. He used a bold signature centered below the text. In accordance with prevailing custom, the other delegates began to sign at the right below the text, their signatures arranged according to the geographic location of the states they represented. New Hampshire, the northernmost state, began the list, and Georgia, the southernmost, ended it. Eventually, 56 delegates signed, although all were not present on Aug. 2.
• There is one line of text along the bottom edge on the back of the Declaration. It reads, "Original Declaration of Independence dated 4th July 1776," This docket (identifying label) was visible when the document was rolled up for storage.
Where has it been kept?
• During the Revolutionary War, the original document traveled with the Continental Congress. Afterward, it was cared for by various departments of government in various locations — until its permanent home was constructed at the National Archives.
• Its locations over the years: Washington, D.C. (three sites): 1800-1814; Leesburg, VA: August-September 1814 (during the War of 1812, it was taken there and hidden as British troops ransacked and burned Washington, D.C.); Washington, D.C. (three sites): 1814-1841; Washington, D.C. (Patent Office Building): 1841-1876; Philadelphia: May-November 1876 (for the Centennial Exposition celebrating the nation's 100th birthday); Washington, D.C. (State, War, and Navy Building): 1877-1921; Washington, D.C. (Library of Congress): 1921-1941; Fort Knox*: 1941-1944 (for protection during World War II, except that the document was displayed on April 13, 1943, at the dedication of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC.); Washington, D.C. (Library of Congress): 1944-1952; Washington, D.C. (National Archives): 1952-present.
Copies
• In 1820, the original Declaration of Independence was already showing signs of age. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams commissioned printer William J. Stone to make a full-size copperplate engraving. This plate was used to print copies of the Declaration. The 1823 Stone engraving is the most frequently reproduced version of the Declaration.
• 26 copies of the Dunlap broadside are known to exist today and are dispersed among American and British institutions and private owners.
About the signers
• In an event of historic coincidence, both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on July 4,1826: the50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It is rumored that late in the afternoon before John Adams died, unaware of the passing of Jefferson, he said “Thomas Jefferson survives.”
• Benjamin Franklin was the oldest signer at 70 years old. He was born on Jan. 17, 1706, in Boston.
• Two of the signers were 26 at the time of the signing. Edward Rutledge (Nov. 23, 1749) edged out Thomas Lynch Jr. (Aug. 5, 1749) by just over three months to be the youngest signer.
• Four signers were physicians, 24 were lawyers, and one was a printer. The remaining signers were mostly merchants or plantation owners. Two were also clergymen: John Witherspoon was a Presbyterian minister, and Lyman Hall was a pastor, teacher, and physician.
• Pennsylvania had the largest number of representatives with nine signers. The second largest group came from Virginia, which had seven signers.
• Eight signers were born in Europe. James Smith, George Taylor and Matthew Thorton were born in Ireland. Robert Morris and Button Gwinnett were born in England. James Wilson and John Witherspoon were born in Scotland. Finally, Francis Lewis was born in Wales
Below is the full text of the Declaration of Independence. Make a copy and gather your family around and read it out loud. Better yet, pass it around the gathered group to let every family member that can read, read it to it's end - to include reading the signatures. Then make it as much an annual ritual as Christmas, for your family on July 4th.

Fellow Patriots, here is the latest information regarding the two days of events at Mount Vernon this year to celebrate National Purple Heart Day.
Region Commanders, please share this information with your Department's Leadership who I hope will share this email with their respective Chapters.
For everyone, please be sure to go online to register for your Free Tickets to the Wreath Laying and Mansion Tour on Friday, 10 Aug and the full ceremony on the East Lawn of Mount Vernon the morning of Saturday, 11 Aug. All tickets are Free. Saturday's ticket also allows access to all of Mount Vernon Estates.
The Mansion Tour on Friday, 10 August is limited to the number of participants so if you have not gone on a tour of Gen. Washington's house and wish to do so you need to RSVP as it's "first come, first served". If you have been on the tour last year, but still wish to participate in the wreath laying do get your tickets anyway, just let me know that you do not plan to do the Mansion Tour.
Hopefully the Mount Vernon Inn will be open after we're done so everyone can have a nice evening of adult beverages after the Friday events.
To attend the Reception please RSVP directly to me. All I need is a name and number in your party.
This year we have support from the Hampton Inn and Suites, Alexandria, VA with discounted hotel rooms for Friday and Saturday nights. Information regarding how to make your own reservations is included in the attached information paper.
Be sure to get your tickets as you must have them to enter the Mount Vernon grounds on either days.
And, please share this with everyone in your respective Chapters as we're planning to have a huge turnout of Purple Heart recipients and guests this year!!!
