VFWMG UNIT 4-4149 ACTIVITY REPORT
January, 2007
It’s
a brand new year and we are excited about it. The weather has
prevented us from riding as much as we would like, but we still get together
often and “kick the tires”. Even if we don’t get to ride, we are
still mindful of the importance of fulfilling our commitment to work as an
extension of our Post. Each of us carry VFWMG cards that we distribute
each chance we get, which include information regarding the VFW M.A.P. and the
aspects of this program. We have opportunity on a regular basis to
direct various Veterans and their families to the services offered by the
VFW. We emphasize the availability of help with phone cards to
deployed military and hospitalized Veterans though the V.F.W.’s Operation Uplink, (www.operationuplink.com), as well as
help with job placement services for military personnel and Veterans, through www.vetjobs.com . We get good
response and the people we visit with are happy to have the information.
In cooperation with the Patriot Guard Riders, our Group served as escorts for
the funeral of a fallen brother. Lonewolf was a
friend and fellow rider that will be missed by all of us.
Six
members of Unit 4-4149 attended the V.F.W. Mid-Winter Convention in
We were pleased to learn of the growth Statewide of our group.

Unit 4 would like to also thank the local VFW for their hospitality in opening
their Post and serving such a wonderful meal. We had a terrific
time with all of the folks there.
