Hi everyone,

Need your help!  The VA has stopped sending flags to the cemetery to honor veterans. The manager at the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Boulder City, NV says they have reached a point where they will have to stop offering them to the families.  There is no excuse for this because the money was budgeted by congress. I am asking everyone to contact both senators and both members of congress letting them know how much of an outrage this is.  Please contact all 4 of them and have your friends as well.  If you are a member or the VVA, American Legion or VFW please pass it to everyone at your post.  If is critical that we make this injustice go viral.





Thank you so much for your help.
 Bob
Assistant State Captain
