Veterans we can ask the Senators while they are battling on Health Care to Squeeze some no-cost actions in to get some small business done. I am working to network on Facebook and to build a bigger effort not only for Gulf War Veterans but all Veterans! WE need to use all the tools at hand to get action.
This is a test of operations plan and I ask all veterans, military members, Americans to participate. I did a printout of veterans bills all 600 still doing analysis. SO Many Bills just DIE and Never get the Action even if they don’t cost big bucks. WE Have Facebook, Twitter, Linkin, etc and these tools can help us in Social networking with ALL -Veterans- Active Duty-Citizens-Young Americans to reunite the spirit of America and to educate Citizens on the needs of Veterans and Activy Duty Troops! Anyway Take A Look and Participate and Let us see what we can all get done.
See my other Discussion post. I am trying to harness FB groups…Yes Gulf War illness but other issues Veterans and Social Action that can help us too if we start interacting! Ths is a way we can pull together as Veterans and Citizens and do something more than play games Farmville and Mafia CR++ and make our time go to something to help! It is worth a try..
Support another forgotten veteran that defended and stood tall for our country Let’s help CPL Buckles our last surving WW1 veteran do the following join the FB page for him, invite your frends to do the same, ask them to duplicate efforts, then make a note on your own FB of this and publish to all your friends.
Then get on twitter and do same
http://www.facebook.com/#/group.php?gid=33974746413
This FB is suppose to be a social network let’s make FB work for veterans! So here is your test! Let’s see if we can get Cpl Buckles story to go viral and get America behind getting his wish done to get the old WWI district of DC memorial to be a National Memorial so it can be refurbished and have the dignity and lasting memory for all Americans that visit the other memorials ie VN wall, Korea, WWII. This is a test case of showing we can use FB to make a difference and have all Americans to support each of our veteran’s needs
Post #Another Facebook Group and they got ACTION and National News Coverage
http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=14523&uid=125208941896#/group.php?gid=190716948379
Post #AND ANOTHER LARGE GROUP TO JOIN
http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=14523&post=109603&uid=125208941896#/group.php?gid=201355981560
Post #AND ONE MORE
http://www.facebook.com/edittopic.php?uid=125208941896&action=8#/group.php?gid=13468216595
This way we network more to larger groups We support them and ask them to also support us and our GWillness efforts
we then branch out to college students and so many other groups on FB build the social network and interact instead of spending time on Farmville or Mafia games and build your friends list

BACKGROUND: As webmaster for HomeOfHeroes.com, my initial purpose when I launched this site in 1998 was to highlight the stories of Medal of Honor recipients, a group of heroes who comprise fewer than 4,500 of the more than 40 million Americans who have served in uniform. In time, after requests to expand, I undertook the daunting task of finding, typing and making available citations for the awards second-only to the Medal of Honor: The Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross, and Air Force Cross. When I began that in 2001 I believed it was an impossible dream and, 7 years later have surprised myself with the fact that I have digitized and posted the citations for more than 18,000 of the 24,00 awards (and hope to complete this in 2008).
LET US ALL PITCH IN AND MAKE THIS BILL MOVE NOW! Call Your US Representative in DC, Email Them, Fax Them. This should not be that hard to do! Let us Do Something Positive for the Holidays! A gift to some dedicated people over at www.HomeOfHeroes.com Can we get some action here ALL? Can you make the calls and light up the switchboards in 387 Representatives offices in DC and tell them it is the least they can DO!

As webmaster for HomeOfHeroes.com, my initial purpose when I launched this site in 1998 was to highlight the stories of Medal of Honor recipients, a group of heroes who comprise fewer than 4,500 of the more than 40 million Americans who have served in uniform. In time, after requests to expand, I undertook the daunting task of finding, typing and making available citations for the awards second-only to the Medal of Honor: The Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross, and Air Force Cross. When I began that in 2001 I believed it was an impossible dream and, 7 years later have surprised myself with the fact that I have digitized and posted the citations for more than 18,000 of the 24,00 awards (and hope to complete this in 2008). At times I became myself discouraged but, in those moments I received emails such as the following simple, but brief exchange from a former Marine in Boston, Massachusetts:
“Your web site helped us get this done.”
What Ed Driscoll had done was to bring to the attention of his community that the headstone at the grave of a fellow Marine and personal friend made no mention of the fact that in the moment of valor that cost him his life, John C. Calhoun had been awarded the Navy’s highest military honor, the Navy Cross. The forgotten hero was remembered with new reverence on Veterans’ Day 2005, and his headstone engraved with the text “Navy Cross” to identify a forgotten hometown hero.
The successful passage in 2006 of the Stolen Valor Act was a long-need step in protecting the integrity of our military awards, prohibiting and providing penalties for impersonating a decorated hero. That problem is severe and the Stolen Valor Act has already proven to be a highly effective tool to uncover fraud and phonies, but FAR WORSE is the fact that the REAL HEROES, men and women who REALLY DID EARN high awards like the Silver Star or highly-respected awards like the Purple Heart, have been forgotten.
Try to find out what medals your grandfather earned in World War II, or even to get the citation that describes the heroic action that earned your father a Silver Star in Korea or Vietnam, and you will understand rather quickly how poorly has been preserved the records of our REAL heroes. Send a letter to the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis to get a copy of your uncle’s awards and citations for service in the Army or Air Force in World War II or Korea and you will most likely get a letter in return that “His records are not here, they may have burned in the 1973 fire.”
Over the last five years I have been able, through my own database, to help hundreds of families get those citations, thanks to the time and effort I have put into building my own awards database. (It would NOT have been humanly possible to do so without the great prior work done by other independent historians like the late Colonel Albert Gleim who started much of this and passed away before completing what others considered impossible to do.) Like Colonel Gleim, I am one person (who is not getting any younger), and know that I too, will live out my own life before I can do all that needs to be done. FURTHERMORE, it should NOT be the job of dedicated, independent historians, to ensure that the history of our heroes is properly preserved.
The LEAST our Nation owes to those who have served is to properly preserve for history, and for their children and grandchildren, an accurate history of that veteran’s service, sacrifice and heroism.
In 2007 Congressman John Salazar, who successfully fought to enact the Stolen Valor Act returned with the logical follow-up legislation. He was joined in this by Congressman Patrick Murphy (PA), the ONLY Iraqi War Veteran currently serving in Congress. Their new BILL is titled:
The Military Roll of Valor Act

H. R. 666
