DELAWARE VETERANS MISSION STATEMENT:
The
primary purpose of Delaware Veterans Inc. is to promote the social
and political welfare of its Veterans, their spouses, and
dependents.
To
practice, teach, and inspire love of home, love of country, and love
of God.
To
devote our efforts to the maintenance and furtherance of the
Constitution of the United Sates of America, and the support of our
American form of government, in order that our American way of life
shall not be lost.
To
fulfill the responsibilities of American citizenship by energetic
and realistic participation in the affairs of municipal, state, and
national government.
To
aid our duly elected representatives in government by keeping them
informed of our opinions of pertinent legislation.
To work toward a better community, a stronger
state, a finer nation, and a more understanding world in order to
preserve a just and lasting peace.
This weeks Thought:
Harry S Truman -
- Men make history, and not the other way around. In periods where
there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when
courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things
for the better.
Who
Should I Vote for?
Answer the questions below to find
the 2008 presidential candidate that
best aligns with your beliefs.
Several million people have already
filled it out. Give it a try!
Mark the column for
Yes if you support
the issue and No if
you oppose it. After that,
select how important
the topic is to you. If
you are unsure or have no opinion on a topic, just mark the Unsure
column. You will be scored based upon how well you match the current
views of each of the 2008 presidential candidates.

Operation Support
Our Troops
Again this year many of us are involved in Operation Support
Our Troops. Our brave service people serving in Iraq and
Afghanistan need our support. We already have 1000 names
and if the past is any indicator we will get more as it gets
closer to our mailing deadline of November 30th. We
anticipate over 2000 stockings will be sent this year.
You may be wondering how you can help. It is really very simple.
Located at the Post is a box and flyers. You need not fill a 2
gallon bag if you don't have one just bring in your donations or
you can drop them off at the Headquarters in Branmar Plaza. We
are looking for the following items:
* Used or
New CDs and DVDs
* New and
used paperback books
* Personal
Hygiene Items (small sizes)
*
Disposable Cameras are just some of the things.
It you don't want to shop a donation would be greatly
appreciated. Our shipping costs are up 39% over last year. A
check can be made to Operation Support Our Troops and can be
brought to our headquarters or put in the box at the post. We
would like to thank the Del Vets again for their support in the
past and also say a great big thanks in advance. Anyone with any
questions can call or at 475-1991 or email me at
Delawarerealtor@aol.com.
For our soldiers...
"Lord, hold our troops
in your loving hands. Protect them as they
protect us. Bless them
and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our
time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Amen."

The Veterans
Administration Volunteer Services is still in need of Volunteers!
VA
Volunteer Services is looking for individuals to ADOPT-A-VETERAN. The VA nursing home care unit has several individuals that could use
a special visitor. After many decades of marriage, spouses have
passed away and immediate family live a distance away. These
individuals could use someone interested in being matched with them
for our ADOPT-A-VETERAN Project.
VA
Volunteer Services is also looking for volunteers interested in
driving the parking lot shuttle van. Hours needed: 8:30AM to 3:00PM.
Contact:
Karen Cavanaugh at the Volunteer Services office.
Monday thru Friday 7:00AM -
2:30 PM.
Call 302-994-2511 ext. 4061.
A Thought to live with:
"It is
the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the
press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom
of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us
the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag,
who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag."
-- Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, Sergeant, USMC
Lord,
Give me a sense of humor,
give me the grace to see a joke.
To get some humor out of life,
and pass it on to other folk.
