We Need a Senate Floor Vote NOW

WE NEED YOUR VOICES TO BE HEARD IN THE HALLS OF CONGRESS
Supporting passage of the S.2921, Veterans First Act NOW !
The Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee has done its job, and NOW it is time for Senate leadership to hold a floor vote on S. 2921, the Veterans First Act.
At 9:00 a.m. on November 30th, please call (202) 224 3121 give the operator your state or zip code, and he/she will connect you with your elected officials' office.
Ask to speak to the LA for Veterans Affairs.
Hello, my name is (identify yourself) and I am a constituent in your state. I am calling today to urge you to contact Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Democratic Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada asking that S.2921, the Veterans First Act, be moved to the floor of the Senate for vote and passage.
This important legislation would establish within the Department of Veterans Affairs a national center for the research on diagnosis and treatment of the health conditions of the descendants of veterans exposed to toxic substances during service in the Armed Forces (S.901) and provides Caregivers benefits to Vietnam Veterans in your state.
Thank you for your attention to my request.

USS Arizona/Pearl Harbor Remembrance Ceremony

Tucson Chapter 106 Vietnam Veterans of America

Yesterday, 3:19 PM

The USS Arizona Memorial Dedication at the University of Arizona Mall will take place this coming Sunday, December 4^th at 1500, on the Mall. This is the 75^th Anniversary of the Attack on Pearl Harbor, during which the USS Arizona was sunk, taking with her, 1,177 Sailors and Marines.

Let’s try to make as good a showing as we can with as many members in uniform as possible. I don’t have any information on the parking in the area. There is also a special collections exhibit of artifacts from the Arizona at the U of A library that will be open from 1330-1430 on Sunday.

For those of you that are unaware, the Arizona Memorial is a low wall that stretches the dimensions of the ships main deck (approx. 600’) that has been built on the Mall. Along this wall, brass tokens are inlaid that have been inscribed with the names of each of the sailors and marines killed on that day.

Let us show our Honor and Respect for our fallen.

Evidence Report: Non-Pharmacologic Treatments for Vasomotor Symptoms Associated with Menopause

11/01/2016 01:12 PM EDT

Vasomotor symptoms (VMS), which include hot flashes and night sweats, are the most common symptoms reported during the menopausal transition.  VMS symptoms are experienced by as many as 80% of women with a mean age of onset of 51 years, and can last more than seven years.  VMS can lead to increased healthcare encounters for symptom relief and reductions in quality of life.  The degree to which VMS are bothersome is determined not only by how frequently they occur, but also by other factors such as duration, coexisting sleep problems, and the extent to which VMS interferes with daily activities or job-related activities.  For some populations of women, VMS exerts an especially strong, negative impact on quality of life, which appears to be the case for women Veterans. Based on the age (>45 years) of the current women Veterans population, half of the approximately 360,000 women Veterans who use VA healthcare are perimenopausal (around menopause) or postmenopausal.  Learn more »

Fellow Patriots,

 

For those of you who don't get/read the Review Journal and didn't see the ad, The SouthPoint is doing something a little different this year.  There will NOT be a free buffet for veterans and their guests on November 11.  Instead, they have the switched the date to today, November 10th. 

The good news in that is that now we can also get a free meal somewhere else tomorrow!  Happy eating!

The Veterans Administration’s Veterans Experience Office is leading a study across the country to understand Veterans’ experience in primary care at VA medical facilities. We are interested in learning about how we can improve the patient experience. 

Our goal is to interview a diverse group of Veterans.  We are seeking Veterans from different walks of life, different genders, ethnicity, ages, military service, etc. Would you be able to help us identify Veterans who are good candidates for the study that live in the Pahrump area?

The research team will be in Las Vegas between November 14^th and November 18^th, 2016.

Study Participant Requirements:

· Must be able to speak to their experiences with Primary Care at the VA

· Must have engaged with VA Primary Care at some point, either in the past or currently

· Must be available for a 90 minute conversation in their home or some other location they are comfortable talking about their experiences

We are looking for participants who fit the following demographics:

· Race/ethnicity: Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Black, Hispanic, Asian, White

· Special Populations: Muslim, LGBT

FAQs for Veterans: 

· Participation is voluntary and the information we collect will be kept anonymous

· Interviews will last about one hour and fifteen minutes  

· Participants will receive a $25 canteen card to thank them for their time

· If the Veteran chooses to meet at a public location, travel pay is not authorized

Would you have some time to connect to discuss how you might be able to help with recruitment efforts? Thank you in advance for taking the time to help in this important initiative.  We appreciate you!
