Barbara Pepi, VA La Jolla reported that the Hospital has appointed a person to assist in gathering military memories of WW II and Korean War veterans. These stories will be archived in the Library of Congress and will be accessible from the internet. We will report further on the process steps in a later report. She had some good ‘pan duce’ and current La Jolla VA health center information and neat pens to give out too.
The Cookie monster also brought a selection of the freshest cookies that the Home Town Buffet has to offer. RC also shared his views of the United Veterans Council meeting and his continuing monitoring of the published living history of the Middle East areas of operation wounded and fallen in battle warriors.
