Thanks for checks received! Address here is 1233 Town Center Drive, Fort Collins CO 80524

Several checks arrived from our veterans over the past couple days and I thank you all very much. If others also care to send anything here is the address:
C-123 Veterans Association
1233 Town Center Drive, Fort Collins CO 80524. Visitors welcome anytime–gets lonely out here on the Front Range!

We now have enough to cover most of the next trip to DC so checks coming from this point on go for the following effort which should be late spring early summer. Because almost all our money goes for travel if you'd rather (or can only) provide frequent flyer miles or something like that it's just as good as cash for what we need.

If you'd rather put a ticket or a hotel on your own credit card for accountability or your own preference, that's perfect as well.

I would very much appreciate the company of one of our other veterans for the next trip to Washington. It's a little more effective with two folks working the Senate and the House offices. I will even treat for lunch at the Senate dining room where you can enjoy their famous bean soup.

Some Checks Just Showed Up! Thanks!

Thank you! We've had support the last several days to help with the expenses of our work in our association. Checks have come in from folks I've never met but who are our comrades in Idaho, Georgia, Massachusetts, Florida, Ohio and elsewhere. The widow of one of our maintainers sent in $10: that might not sound much but it is a lot too many of us and it covers a full day using the metro in Washington when I'm working there. Earlier, checks came in from a DAV post and a Vietnam Veterans of America chapter. Altogether that covers my week working in DC earlier this month.

Shoulders at the wheel now include flight nurses, pilots, navs, loads and maintainers... and a couple MSC officers. All of is appreciated! I understand John Harris (aka "Big John") wrote a few emails – many thanks, John.

More checks are welcome..if you care to help. There are at least two trips remaining to DC to work on our retroactivity issue and to help VA address ethical failures that we've pointed out and (amazing!) that they're willing to discuss. If all goes well, we will have even more trips as we pursue issues about our claims up to the US Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.

Address: 1233 Town Center Drive, Fort Collins CO 80524

I promise I will spend every dime carefully, and I also promise I will spend more than is sent because there is so much we can do!
