Fellow Patriots,
For those of you who don't get/read the Review Journal and didn't see the ad, The SouthPoint is doing something a little different this year. There will NOT be a free buffet for veterans and their guests on November 11. Instead, they have the switched the date to today, November 10th.
The good news in that is that now we can also get a free meal somewhere else tomorrow! Happy eating!

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.
~Albert Einstein
The Veterans Administration’s Veterans Experience Office is leading a study across the country to understand Veterans’ experience in primary care at VA medical facilities. We are interested in learning about how we can improve the patient experience.
Our goal is to interview a diverse group of Veterans. We are seeking Veterans from different walks of life, different genders, ethnicity, ages, military service, etc. Would you be able to help us identify Veterans who are good candidates for the study that live in the Pahrump area?
The research team will be in Las Vegas between November 14th and November 18th, 2016.
Study Participant Requirements:
· Must be able to speak to their experiences with Primary Care at the VA
· Must have engaged with VA Primary Care at some point, either in the past or currently
· Must be available for a 90 minute conversation in their home or some other location they are comfortable talking about their experiences
We are looking for participants who fit the following demographics:
· Race/ethnicity: Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Black, Hispanic, Asian, White
· Special Populations: Muslim, LGBT
FAQs for Veterans:
· Participation is voluntary and the information we collect will be kept anonymous
· Interviews will last about one hour and fifteen minutes
· Participants will receive a $25 canteen card to thank them for their time
· If the Veteran chooses to meet at a public location, travel pay is not authorized
Would you have some time to connect to discuss how you might be able to help with recruitment efforts? Thank you in advance for taking the time to help in this important initiative. We appreciate you!

FORGOTTEN NOT GONE VETERAN'S DAY PARADE 2016
Las Vegas, Nevada, November 11, 2016 - Join Forgotten Not Gone as they complete their #22DamnMany Campaign of 2,222 miles ridden since January 2016 to combat 22 Daily Veteran Suicides. The Celebration of this Great Achievement will take place crossing the finish line in the Veteran's Day Parade 2016, located in Downtown Las Vegas at 10 am on November 11, 2016.
When faced with adversity and isolation we have found that physical activity is the key to overcoming Depression and feelings of loneliness. Forgotten Not Gone provides recumbent trikes as one form of physical therapy to help our Veterans desire to live again. We are excited to share the completion of this mission with our Veterans, their families and all of our Proud Supporters. Living legend Ret. USAF Col. Charles McGee, an original Tuskegee Airmen, and numerous amazing accolades will be leading the charge. This year's Veteran's Day Parade will be honoring Women Veteran. Nevada's District 1, Senator Patricia Spearman will be marching with us. She completed 29 years in the Army, rising to the prestigious rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Special Guest also include, "The Colonel" Steve Seroka, who not only had an amazing 30 year Air Force career but is also one of the Leading Advocates for Veterans in Nevada serving on the North Las Vegas Veteran Community Commission board, whose Commissioner's will also march with Forgotten Not Gone, continuing in helping us End #22DamnMany Daily Veteran Suicides.
Forgotten Not Gone is a 501 (c) (3) For Purpose organization dedicated to helping save Veterans and their families from the destruction of suicide. Through Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual activities sponsored by the organization, Veterans are re-engaged with society and are brought out of the isolation that many experience, once they return home.
