Next Meeting: December 11, 2024
Christmas Party - Gift Exchange
Update From November 13 Meeting
Morning All,
We had a good turn out last night with 27 members showing up. I have a few items to talk about.
First, this Saturday is our quarterly social get together. It is at the Prost Brewery and Restaurant, located at 351 West 104th Ave. The major intersection is 104 and I-25. It is located just a couple doors west of Cinzzetti's restaurant. Time is 1100. Hope to see you there. At the meeting about 10 to 15 people said that they would be there. We have reserved a table for 20.
Next meeting is our Christmas party. If you want to participate bring a gift of $30 or less and that gift can only be stolen twice.
Next, the Western Regional Roundup. Dates are March 6-9 next year at the Queen Mary, Long Beach, CA. You can get your tickets now. I had a talk with the WRR Committee Chairman and he voice a desire for us to sponsor the WRR in 2027. There are many pros and one big con. We NEED the support of every one to pull this off. It is not a job that a only a few can handle. If you would like to help or have ideas, or want more info please give me a call 303-641-9154. This would be the first time since the 1970's that we have had a convention of Sub Vets in the Denver area.
Last but the biggest is the American Legion Post 17 has offered us a free meeting place on the third Saturday of the month. The post is located just about a half mile from our Submarine Memorial. The membership at the meeting was very positive about it. The Executive Board has to meet with the post manager and work out details. The very earliest shift in location would be in February of next year.
That is about it. Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving.
Thanks
Paul

Asbestos Alert!
Written by T. Michael Bircumshaw and is in the last publication of the American Submariner on pg. 29. It is important enough to be read to the members as they may have missed it. “If you served any time between years 1900 and 2000 and did any time at sea or at certain Military installations, then you have been exposed to Asbestos. Please get at least a high definition, no contrast needed, cat scan of your lungs. Do it with a civilian pulmonologist, not the VA, and ask them to specifically look for pleural plaques and interstitial scarring in your lungs. Once you have finally done that, call me at 951-775-4549. Call me to tell me the results and we are hoping that your lungs are clean. But, if like me, you have pleural plaques or/and asbestosis, then I can offer you some guidance on what to do about it. It cannot be cured, but it can be compensated for, call me. Don’t make me repeat myself, because I will. Please do this for you and your family.”

Here are the links of how to make a claim to VA on PACT Act issues.
The first one is off the VA website and it is the actual form to make a claim. It does require you to be registered with the VA health System. The second one is a link to a VFW website to ask for help on applying for a claim. They do step by step instructions. The phone number is the VA hot line to ask VA help in filing a claim. The last is a YouTube on all this information. He is an ex-marine with info on all the agent orange and toxic exposure acts. Good info.
