COATS, BOOTS, BLANKETS & SOCKS DRIVE
Just a reminder to our Chapter members....we will be collecting all cold weather clothing at the September and October Chapter meetings.
Please check with your family and friends and clear your closets of all those too small or too large items of clothing that you just don't use anymore.
We have made arrangements for a local cleaners to freshen up all that we collect. Our donations just might make a difference for the hundreds of Coloradans who have lost everything in the recent flooding!
Wow...great job Chapter Members....we collected a tremendous amount of cold weather items at the September meeting. Let's see if we can match it at our October meeting. THANKS TO ALL for helping out!
Thanks for your help and generosity!!

Seriously......that was a lot of clothes and other warm weather gear that we collected over a two month period. We will sort through everything and deliver to two or three distribution facilities or organizations. Thanks again for caring!

The following poem was written by Chris Newton, son of Chapter 1071 member Steve Newton. Thank you Chris and Steve for sharing!!
THE FINAL INSPECTION
The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
'Step forward now, soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?'
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,"
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills just got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fears...
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

The ultimate sacrifice for freedom...

You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you. - John Bunyan
Chapter 1071 has made a donation to this very important Foundation. It is a small way for us to help the youth in our community. Check out their website to see the important work that they are doing.
AIR FORCE VETERAN - BLACK FOREST FIRE
In June, a fellow Veteran and his family lost their home and practically ALL of their possessions in the Black Forest Fire near Colorado Springs. In keeping with our mission of "helping Veterans in need", Chapter 1071 was able to make a donation to the family. The money will used for the family's day to day expenses. Thanks Chapter 1071 for helping a fellow Vet in need.

CHAPTER VETERANS VISIT DAKOTA RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL
On May 1st, 2013, nine members of VVA Chapter 1071 met with students from Dakota Ridge High School. The veterans shared many of their experiences from their time in Vietnam. After the vets finished telling about their experiences, the sessions were opened up for questions and answers. The students had some very interesting and relevant questions.
The veterans in attendance were: Dan DIetz, Owen Oliver, RIck Claggett, John Ed Young, Richard Cox, Michael Craig, David Steiner, Miller Hudson and Tony Lopez. Thanks for your time and efforts, Gentlemen!
We thank fellow Chapter member, Michael Craig for getting us in touch with Dakota RIdge HS and a special thanks to History teacher, Mr. Matt Honeycutt, for extending the invitation to our Chapter. Most of all, we thank the students for listening to our small bits of history and we hope that the information that we shared was beneficial. Talking about these stories was certainly beneficial and therapeutic to the veterans!
Hopefully, we will have an opportunity to meet with other students in the future to tell our story.

"Above and Beyond" The National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum in
Chicago
When visitors first enter the museum, they will hear a sound like wind chimes coming
from above them and their attention will be drawn upward 24 feet to the ceiling
of the two-story high atrium.
Dog tags of the more than 58,000 service men and women who died in the Vietnam War hang from the ceiling of the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum in Chicago on Veterans Day, November 11, 2010.
The 10-by-40-foot sculpture, entitled Above & Beyond, was designed by Ned
Broderick and Richard Steinbock.
The tens of thousands of metal dog tags are suspended 24 feet in the air, 1 inch apart, from fine lines that allow them to move and chime with shifting air currents. Museum employees using a kiosk and laser pointer help visitors locate the exact dog tag with the imprinted name of their lost friend or relative.

Food Drive - Thank you to all Members for helping out!
Our members brought a considerable amout of foodstuffs to this months meeting. The food drive was in response to an emergeny request for canned goods by American Legion Post 82. The collected food will be picked up by Redistribution Center, Inc. (RCI) for distribution to veterans who are in need.
John Ed Young has set up donation bins at the Jeffco Workforce office so we can continue this effort.
If you would like to continue this effort, feel free to bring a can or two to each Chapter meeting. It's a great way to help veterans in need.

Colorado Militaria Show - Sunday, January 20, 2013
The Boss Man
Dan Dietz
Dan DIetz, Jim Thompson and Tony Lopez agreed that hosting the VVA Chapter 1071 membership/infomation table at the Colorado Militaria Show was an absolute success. We talked with veterans from several conflicts with the majority of the folks being Vietnam or Vietnam Era vets. We handed out approximately 14 membership application forms along with informational flyers on Agent Orange, veteran's benefits and Chapter 1071 information. Three of the veterans seemed strongly interested in joining our chapter and a few others demonstrated a more than casual interest in joining. Time will tell!
In addition, we gave one membership transfer form to an existing VVA Lifetime Member and expect to have that individual affiliate with our chapter in the very near future.
Most importantly, we talked to two veterans who had applied for VA benefits in the past but whose claims had been denied; one claim was for prostate cancer and the other for heart problems. We directed
both individuals to a veteran's advocate that we met at the show. He is a Veterans Service Officer(VSO) for the American Legion and was anxious to help with new claims or to re-open old claims. In addition, we met a Vietnam Veteran who was diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes several years ago. He had no idea that he might be eligible for healthcare or disability compensation from the VA so we directed him to the American Legion VSO as well.
Due to the positive response that we received from so many Show attendees, we determined that it would be beneficial for our Chapter to return for the next show.
The next show is scheduled for Sunday, April 21st and we have our table reserved. Please check your schedules for that day and see if you can contribute either a half day or a full day to help staff
the VVA Chapter 1071 Table. We think you will find it both enjoyable and very rewarding to interact with the Show attendees. Talk to Dan or Tony if you can help out and we will give you the "5 minute" crash course on how to run the table!
A big thanks to Dan DIetz for informing us about the Colorado Militaria organization and for his hard work in coordinating our presence at the event. Also, thanks to Jim Thompson for making us laugh and
keeping us on our toes the entire morning! It's always good to see a familiar face in the crowd and for that we thank Owen Oliver and Ron Wilson and his wife Kris for coming out to visit with us and offer their
support!
Thanks to Dean Casey, the veterans advocate that we met at the Show. His offer to assist any veterans that we might meet was much appreciated. Dean can be reached at: American Legion, 155 Van Gordon St., Lakewood, CO 80225 (303) 914-5585.
.....and finally, a special thanks to the Colorado Militaria organization for providing a free table to the Chapter and allowing us to further our mission.
