Veterans Newsletter - May, 2022

Well it is spring time in Indiana. The Veterans are very active with us. We have had 64 phone calls into my Office while I had 8 visits into my office for April. We did take 4 veterans to the VA Hospitals for the month of April. Three people went to Roudebush Hospital in Indianapolis, and we took one person to Danville, Il Hospital.

I will be going to the American Legion Post 72 in Crawfordsville on the 5^th of May from 1-4:00 PM and then I will go to the VFW Post 1431 in Crawfordsville on the 26^th of May Thursday from 1-4:00 pm. Anyone may come and visit me at these two locations and you don’t need to be a member of either post.

Anyone needing a ride to any of the VA hospitals may phone me at 765-361-4133 and try to make it a week in advance.
