Buy or Refi Now: Take Advantage of Your VA Loan Benefit Today XXX AAFES: Will open to all honorably discharged veterans on Veterans Day 2017 Welcoming home all of America’s veterans with online shopping benefits DALLAS – After four years of coordination with the Departments of Defense, Army and Air Force as well as several other federal agencies, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) will welcome home approximately 15 million veterans on Nov. 11. “AAFES is honored to offer this well-deserved benefit to those who raised their right hands, took the oath and served our Nation with honor,” said AAFES Director/CEO Tom Shull. “There are many generations of service members who have not been properly recognized for their sacrifices. The Veterans Online Shopping Benefit (VOSB) acknowledges their service and welcomes them home.” Extending online shopping (shopmyexchange.com) privileges to all honorably discharged veterans will directly improve family and support programs for Soldiers, Airmen and their families. Consistent with each exchange’s dividend policy, increased earnings as a result of VOSB are expected to generate tens of millions of dollars in increased annual dividends to Quality-of-Life programs for the military community including contingency operations, Army child development centers, youth services and fitness centers, Air Force outdoor recreation, combat uniforms, overseas school lunches and more. VOSB also strengthens AAFES’ online business to better serve current shoppers. Including honorably discharged veterans will conservatively double exchanges’ online presence, improving the experience for all shoppers. From technology upgrades to associate training to inventory planning, AAFES has been working on implementation of VOSB since it was first proposed in 2013. As a result, most of the required business capabilities are already in place, and AAFES will be ready for a smooth rollout on Veterans Day. “AAFES, along with its sister exchanges, is ensuring America’s veterans are honored for their service and recognized as Soldiers, Airmen, Marines and Sailors for life,” said Shull. “We look forward to welcoming our veterans home this Veterans Day and every day thereafter.” XXX MyVA311: One number to call to reach VA When the VA Secretary first started evaluating business and customer service practices across VA to improve the Veteran experience, the need for a revamped phone system was clear. Instead of navigating dozens of automated phone trees with no guarantee of success, Veterans needed one place to call to get connected to the right place quickly VA is introducing 1-844-MyVA311 (1-844-698-2311) as a go-to source for Veterans and their families who don’t know what number to call. This new national toll-free number will help eliminate the feeling of frustration and confusion that Veterans and their families have expressed when navigating the 1000-plus phone numbers that currently exist. With 1-844-MyVA311, Veterans, families, and caregivers can access information about VA services like disability, pension, healthcare eligibility, enrollment, and burial benefits, in addition to a self-service locator to find the nearest VA facility. And if they’re looking for immediate assistance with housing or are having a mental health crisis, MyVA311 will route callers to the Homeless Veteran help line and the Veterans Crisis Line. If you know what number you’re calling – keep calling it. None of the existing VA numbers will go away. The future vision is that 1-844-MyVA311 will become a 24/7 one-stop information service platform for all VA services. Veteran feedback has been instrumental helping us streamline the way we get callers routed to the right place at VA. VA is also making improvements to the overall Veteran experience eliminating blocked calls and hiring more people to reduce wait times. We will continue to gather feedback from our Veterans to ensure VA is meeting their needs. The new MyVA311 phone number is just one step in a larger effort to modernize VA contact centers so Veterans have a seamless, positive experience when reaching out VA. In the coming months, we will be sharing more on additional steps as we continue to improve the Veterans experience. Give an Hour A national network of mental health care providers who give an hour of their time each week to help members of the military and their families cope with the "unseen wounds" associated with military service. With over 5,000 members and growing, these caring professionals can provide tens of millions of dollars in free mental health services each year.

The tourism and hospitality industry serving these visitors accounts for close to 20 percent of the total workforce in metropolitan Washington.1 Tourism, therefore, is a vital force in the local economy and tour buses, which have been estimated to serve as many as one-third of the visitors to Washington’s historical and cultural attractions, perform a function crucial to both the economic life of the city and its role as the nation’s capital.2 The benefits related to tour bus operations currently come at a significant cost, however. Large numbers of tour buses contribute to traffic congestion on the roadways serving the District and its environs. Several factors compound the adverse traffic impacts associated with tour bus operations.

  • Section 6: Transit System BATS
    Section 6: Transit System BATS Section 6: Transit System Section 6.1 Current Regulations The Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century, or TEA-21, emphasizes the importance of transit to local communities by providing flexibility in the financing of transit services. Urbanized areas may divert funds from roadway improvements in order to allocate additional funding to transit. Section 6.2 Available Funding The Section 5310 Program that is administered by the Georgia Department of Human Resources, or GDHR, makes federal funding available to social service providers for rural transit. Funding from this program is used to assist two non-profit transit providers serving Southeast Georgia, including Glynn County. The providers include Gateway Behavioral Health Services and Coastal Georgia Area Community Action Authority. These non-profit transit providers offer varying levels of service to the elderly and the mentally and physically disabled. Existing transit services are limited because they do not serve the transit dependent who are low income, under the age of 16, and visitors to Glynn County. Transit funding is also available through the Federal Transit Administration, or FTA, through Section 5303 funds designated for transit planning activities, Section 5307 funds for urban transit programs, Section 5309 funds for capital needs, and Section 5311 funds for rural public transit. The Brunswick Area Transportation Study, or BATS, continues to assess the need for and the costs of implementing transit service in the urbanized area of Glynn County including the City of Brunswick and St. Simons Island. Section 6.3 Existing Transportation Services Within Glynn County, mass transit is not available.

My wife, Christine and I have just planted another 600 grape plants at my parents’ vineyard in Naramata, BC, which we have taken over. We are in the process of replanting barley on the hayfield and we will be preparing for the Merritt Mountain Music Festival again for the 17th year. Most of all we look forward to family reunions. We hope to see as many MacLeods as possible in St. Louis in June 2009 and we will try to see as many friends and family as we drive back from our destination in New York, where one of our twin boys is in 3rd year medical school. Preparing for the Olympics in Vancouver for February 2010 we be another venture for most of us here in BC. Christine and I have just returned from Victoria where we attended the Victoria Highland Games with our daughter, Skye. We love wandering through the various tents and reacquainting with the past highland danc- ing and piping days. The MacLeod Clan tent was organized by Malcolm and Karen from Vancouver Island and was a hotspot of activity as people streamed by to talk.
