Bob; Sorry I've taken so long to get this to you!    To all members of VVA 17 and 1076, I am getting a list of members and family that would like to get their CCW. There is a local company: GUN PLAY VEGAS,  that has offered to hold the class at our chapter hall for a reduced fee of $50 per person. I already have about 10 or  12 people so far. The class would be a total of 8 hours including range qualification. 1076 has not given me a list as of today but I'm sure they will have members and family that will want to join us. The instructors are two young ladies Sara and Karissa , they are college-educated, certified by industry standards and approved through the Nevada Sheriff's & Chief's Association. Andy Leduc and I would also like to get a group together for a monthly fun shoot. During good weather we would shoot outdoors to accommodate long guns and inside with pistols when the weather is bad. All those interested should contact me; DON LECKBURG, at (702) 513-4086 or kingpig53@aol.com. I think it would be great for us as Brothers to get together, besides just at the meetings once a month. I look forward to hearing from all of you that are interested!  Regards & WELCOME HOME; Don Leckburg

FW: Forwarding Items of Possible Veteran Interest

Thank You

To all my fellow veterans friends and family my we all remember 

Subject: Forwarding Items of Possible Veteran Interest
To: loumicsm@yahoo.com

 Vet Info item filled with VA scandal things of course.  Reference is made in the info letter about doctors violating their oath.  A copy of that is attached. 

June 14th coming up is Flag Day and two attachments provide some history and the US Federal Law on the Flag.

June 14th is also the birthday of the US Army from 1775.  An item is attached on that.

Since the VA scandal is currently a media item, I will cut down on these items quite a bit.

I will also be working on a VVA Chapter 1076 Newsletter which will take some time away from reading.
