Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday 6 Good Afternoon Gentlemen, April has come and gone and it has been quite a month. We participated in the Massing of the Colors, we took a tour of the South Carolina Museum and its Hunley exhibit (thank you L.E.), and were present when the governor’s husband spoke, so passionately about, veterans needs and congressional votes vital to our continued support. We supported our organization and veterans in general. Our next meeting will thankfully be back at the Flight Deck, some of our service last month was questionable, to say the least. I have in my possession one hundred of the Best looking challenge coins I have ever seen, but I am prejudice. The BOD voiced approval that the coins will be $10 each, or three for $25. You can see pictures of how they came out on Facebook, on the Palmetto Base site. The first brings with it recertification for me as service officer. I will be in Columbia for the 1 st , 2 nd , and 3 rd for the DAV service officer recert and the DAV convention. I will have my cell phone with me, so if any needs arise, call. My number will appear at the bottom of the page. Lastly, are you enrolled with the VA for medical, if not, Why? Christmas has come and gone and we are not getting any younger. Time and again I have met veterans that have gone years paying for meds that would be free or greatly reduced at the VA. Did you ever get hurt on active duty, spend any time in the hospital or break a bone? If so and it still effects you today, let’s file a claim. It gets you a check for compensation, medical care for that ailment, and will help your daily life. There is NO charge, except your time. No one gets anything out of it, except you. I wish you all a good night, God Bless and see you at Flight Deck on the 20 th . Brian Commander Palmetto Base 7 Brothers of the Fin, Last month I mentioned one of the charity groups I work with “Carolina Sunshine Fund”. A litter background; Carolina Sunshine Fund grants wishes to kids in SC that have sever illnesses and 100% of all funds goes towards the wish. All administrative cost and the cost of chaperons accompanying the individual on a trip are at the expense out of pocket of the board members and chaperons. This year they hosted a motorcycle charity ride with riders requesting sponsors to pledge so much per mile ridden or just a pledge of a flat amount. There are several bike groups already committed to the ride scheduled for 26 Apr for the designated 100 mile, 200 mile, or 300 mile ride. I want to thank you for the sponsorship of the base and donations from many of the members. I road 216 miles of back roads and pot holes on 26 Apr and raised a total of $1,395.00 and the total collected for this charity event was just under $14,000.00. That is on average to grant 5 wish trips to child. On the ride, I met several other riders and people at our rest stops that had family member’s current on Subs or served on Subs in the past. Go Navy Beat Army! If you would like more information about the Carolina Sunshine Fund, here is the web link: http://www.carolinasunshine.org/Carolinasunshine/Carolina_Sunshine.html Our last meeting, along with the tour of the State Museum and the presentation of the history of the Hunley, was very informative. We have the 1 st Honor Flight of the year returning back from Wash. DC on Wed 7 May at around 1900 @ Columbia Airport. Let’s get out there and welcome the heroes of WWII and 8 Korea back from a very moving experience. If you never been to one it is a very hart warming event to be a part of and witness the looks of surprise and gratitude on the faces of our heroes. We also have our 1 st parade (The Poultry Festival Parade) to participate in on Sat 10 May.
