 ALR Directors Corner

 

 Dear fellow ALR riders and members,

 
First, A big thank you to all who helped by donating at street crossings and at Owens north and Owens south.  Thank you for your
donations.  Also, the ALR members and riders that participated by giving their time to stand at street crossings and go to Owens
and ask for contributions.  A big thank you to Shakin Bake for their contribution at their concert February 27th at Huntington North
High School Auditorium.  Thank you to Post 7 for your patients and understanding while we finish collecting and fund raising for
the Vietnam Traveling Wall.
 
The Traveling Wall is to honor Vietnam War Veterans.  It is scheduled to arrive in September.  The Wall is a spectacular site to
see and feel the emotion of the lost brothers and sisters who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
 
"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance
when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go. 
 
Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always.
Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own.
 
 And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind.
 
 
Joey Dog Jackson

Director

Priority Group 8 Enrollment Relaxation Changes
VA eligibility rules changed on June 15, 2009, making it easier for more Veterans to enroll in VA’s health care system. Under this new regulation, VA relaxed income restrictions on enrollment for health benefits. While this new provision does not remove consideration of income, it does increase income thresholds. A web–based calculator is available for Veterans to enter their income information, dependents, and zip code to assess if their income would fall within the proposed income threshold adjustments. Veterans are encouraged to contact VA’s Health Resource Center at 1–877–222 VETS (8387) or visit the VA health eligibility website for more information.
