1. Post Constitution & By-Laws Draft replaced. Draft replaced: 2019 DRAFT CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS v2
2. Brunswick County Veteran Services Monthly Update Letter.
Brunswick County Veterans Updates 12-2-19
3. VA is amending proposed regulations about one of their programs based on comments members of the public made on the website of the Federal Register.
- mailto:https://www.
federalregister.gov/documents/ 2019/11/13/2019-24503/ veterans-healing-veterans- medical-access-and- scholarship-program - Shaped by these comments, the VA will publish the final rule about the “Veterans Healing Veterans Medical Access and Scholarship Program” in mid-Dec.
- This action is very typical and it shows that when the VA (or any federal agency) posts proposed regulations for public comment, they actually do review the submissions and take action.
- It is an example that we hope encourages veterans and advocates to pay attention and offer input to the regulations that shape the programs used by veterans across the country.
- This is also a way to influence policy just by using internet access.
4. VA is implementing a project called Advancing Telehealth through Local Access Stations, (ATLAS).
- https://www.blogs.va.gov/
VAntage/68079/atlas-debuts-u- s-senate-demonstrates-future- health-care/ - ATLAS will allow Veterans to undergo medical examinations at their local Veterans Service Organization posts through virtual appointments.
- The first ATLAS debuted Oct. 16, at VFW Post 6786 in Eureka, Montana, where Veterans previously had to travel more than 225 miles to the nearest VA Medical Center.
- VA reports that of the 9 million veterans who receive health care from the VA, one third live in a rural area or have limited access to high speed internet.
- Veterans interested in the ATLAS program are encouraged to contact their local VA Medical Center.
4. Post-68 Oratorical Competition Winners Announced!
Bailey Smith, a senior at North Brunswick High School (NBHS), placed first in the John E. Jacobs American Legion Post 68, Leland’s Oratorical Contest – “A Constitutional Speech Contest”- held Saturday, January 11 at NBHS.
Dylan Mills, a NBHS junior and JROTC Cadet, placed second in the competition.
All contestants delivered an original eight-minute prepared oration on aspects of the U.S. Constitution, with emphasis on the duties and obligations of American citizens. They also delivered an extemporaneous speech on the assigned topic of the Twenty-Seventh Amendment to the U.S. Constitution regarding the establishment of compensation for the services of U.S. Senators and
Representatives.
Post 68 Commander Dale Todd presented Bailey with the first-place medal, a certificate of distinction, and a check for $500.00. Dylan received the second place medal, certificate of distinction, and a check for $300.00.
Bailey Smith now advances to the American Legion District 9 Oratorical Contest held on January 18th at the St. James Community Center, St. James Plantation, NC. She will compete against the winners of American Legion Post contests from Brunswick, Bladen, Columbus, Pender, and New Hanover counties.
The District 9 contest winner qualifies to compete in the Division Contest on February 29, with that winner advancing to the North Carolina Department (state) finals being held March 7 at the Sandhills Community College in Pinehurst. Division winners advance to the National Finals in April.
