August 16, 2026 Update

Hey All,

The Littleton Parade had a great turn out with 13 people showing up including Patrick's granddaughter. It was a good time. Thanks for everyone who showed up. Sorry Julie and I missed it due to me being sick. I looked at the website and saw that we did not win a prize. Too bad.

First reminder is Bingo this Wednesday. Location: Colorado State Veteran's Home, 1919 N. Quentin St, Aurora. TIME: 1000. It is really a good time and we do lunch afterwards.

Final reminder is our August meeting is this Saturday the 22nd. Building opens at 0830, Breakfast is at 0900 and the meeting starts at 0930. Remember to enter from the south door off the parking lot and sign in if you are not a member. The coffee is free for us but please remember to tip the barmaid who sets up all our stuff. It is her major form of income.

Thanks

Paul

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.
