SPECIAL TEAM USX UPDATES: 2 FEATURED STORIES Defying Stereotypes, Number Of Incarcerated Veterans In U.S. Drops http://n.pr/21VSKFk Editor’s Note: Thanks to attorney Fred Stratmann for this article. The number of military veterans in the country's jails and prisons continues to drop, a new report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics shows. It's the first government report that includes significant numbers of veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — and the findings defy stereotypes that returning war veterans are prone to crime. The data show that veterans are less likely to be behind bars than nonveterans. The study tracked an estimated 181,500 incarcerated veterans in 2011-2012, 99 percent of whom were male. During that period, veterans made up 8 percent of inmates in local jails and in state and federal prisons, excluding military facilities. The decline in the veterans prison population tracks national demographics. Across the country, the number of veterans is shrinking fast as the millions of vets from World War II and Korea reach their 80s and 90s, and Vietnam vets reach their 70s. 1 of 32 Advocates for veterans also credit the lower incarceration rate partly to increased services for returning veterans. For example, most states now have "veterans courts," where veterans can get treatment for PTSD and drug abuse in lieu of jail time for certain crimes.

The Military Family Research Institute at Purdue University MFRI announces new women veteran's fellowship http://bit.ly/1TbMS6c The Military Family Research Institute at Purdue University on Tuesday (May 10) announced a new fellowship program that aims to help build skills, leadership and a sense of community among female student veterans. The Focus Forward Fellowship program is designed for rising military-affiliated sophomores and juniors who are enrolled in four-year institutions and have an interest in professional, scientific or technology careers. The program will be held Aug. 11-14 in Indianapolis, Indiana, with additional web-based activities scheduled throughout the 2016-2017 academic year. Women veterans are invited to apply for the free, weekend-long residency program where they will connect with each other, increase personal effectiveness and build a potentially transformative community experience that can translate to their home campus and continue to impact them throughout their academic and professional careers. The program will engage military-connected women and build skills and confidence through interactions with other successful students, faculty members and advocates. Fellows also will learn and improve their academic skills so that they can thrive in the university setting. The American Legion Legacy Scholarship Fund to help more students in need in 2017. Application deadline of April 20, 2017 http://bit.ly/1TbOYTs . But last week at Spring Meetings in Indianapolis, the National Executive Committee approved a very important change to the Legacy Scholarship Fund that will expand the roster of those receiving assistance. In simple terms, the Legion is increasing the pool of scholarship applicants to include children of post 9/11 veterans with disability ratings of 50 percent or higher. Make no mistake: the children of post 9/11 veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice will remain the top priority for Legacy Scholarship aid. But by expanding the eligibility 3 of 32 requirements, the Legion will continue to provide for the children of the men and women who face the harsh realities of war wounds every day of their lives. While the changes are immediate, in practical terms, they will not take place until the 2017 scholarship year. The 2016 Legacy Scholarship winners were selected at the recent Spring Meetings. Those who qualify under the new rules have until the application deadline of April 20, 2017, to apply. Dare to Lead on June 18! Scholarship for Women Veterans & Spouses.

Annual Message Dear Friend of IMC, This past year brought an unprecedented wave of disasters, prompting an unparalleled response from International Medical Corps’ thousands of staff and volunteers. At the start of 2005, the world was still reeling from the catastrophic Indian Ocean tsunami. Nearly a quarter of a million people perished, while millions of others saw their livelihoods destroyed. Eight months later, whole communities along the Gulf Coast of the United States were wiped out by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Then came a massive earthquake in Pakistan just over one month later, killing 80,000 and leaving millions homeless. With each of these humanitarian crises, IMC was there – often one of the first on the scene – providing emergency health services, mental health care, shelter, food and water, and economic support.
