June 28, 2026 Update

Morning All,

We had a good turnout yesterday 35 total with 28 members. The speaker Terry Foley was good and he was really impressed on submarine veterans comradery and sense of family within our group. We do not have any other speakers set up for the reminder of the year. If you know if any please let me know. Both Robert Adler and Jeff Mosal had a VSO that might speak to us, just waiting on contact info.

Items covered:

1. Annual Picnic will be July 11th at Dale and Tami's home, 107 Aspen Dr, Fredrick. The base will supply hamburger/hot dogs, condiments, plates, silverware, napkins, water, soda and beer. Please bring a side dish or dessert. If you have some chairs that would help. Their yard is in shade most of the time. Please come and join us.
2. Estes Park parade is July 6th at 1000. We will be meeting at the fairgrounds (off fourth street) between 0800 to 0830 to set up the trailer. At 0830 we will be leaving to the staging area. We have ten people coming up the night before and an additional seven driving up the day of. After the parade we are all going out to lunch. Come and join us.

Grant, Mark Northcroft and Mike Shuh will be there. I will not be able to attend but if anyone wants to come out and help please do. Engraved bricks are still available to purchase. We just need at least five to make the shipping work. Contact Grant to purchase a brick.
4. National Voting will be between July 7th thru Sept 5th. Each veteran member will be getting an email from national to do your voting. There will be two links -- one to vote and one to see each person's bio and their letter to the board telling of their goals if elected. PLEASE VOTE. It is your right and responsibility.

Asbestos Alert!

Written by T. Michael Bircumshaw and is in the last publication of the American Submariner on pg. 29.  It is important enough to be read to the members as they may have missed it.  “If you served any time between years 1900 and 2000 and did any time at sea or at certain Military installations, then you have been exposed to Asbestos.  Please get at least a high definition, no contrast needed, cat scan of your lungs.  Do it with a civilian pulmonologist, not the VA, and ask them to specifically look for pleural plaques and interstitial scarring in your lungs.  Once you have finally done that, call me at 951-775-4549.  Call me to tell me the results and we are hoping that your lungs are clean.  But, if like me, you have pleural plaques or/and asbestosis, then I can offer you some guidance on what to do about it.  It cannot be cured, but it can be compensated for, call me.  Don’t make me repeat myself, because I will.  Please do this for you and your family.”

Here are the links of how to make a claim to VA on PACT Act issues.

The first one is off the VA website and it is the actual form to make a claim. It does require you to be registered with the VA health System. The second one is a link to a VFW website to ask for help on applying for a claim. They do step by step instructions. The phone number is the VA hot line to ask VA help in filing a claim. The last is a YouTube on all this information. He is an ex-marine with info on all the agent orange and toxic exposure acts. Good info.
