President’s Comments

As of Monday April 25th, Ann Schminke is still in the Chandler Regional Medical Center. She has been in the hospital for over two weeks. It appears that she is bleeding from the colon. Still unknown. She asked me to thank all of you who have said a prayer and wished her a speedy recovery. Hopefully she will be home soon.

I would like to thank everyone who attended our last dinner meeting on April 17th. Col Barry Wright, the MOAA Council & Chapters Director, was our guest speaker. He presented some great information about MOAA. And he was happy to hear about our new satellite organization in Pinal County. I was pleased to see so many new faces at our meeting. Our membership is continuing to grow.

One of my primary goals is to increase our MOAA membership. So because of my new Agent Orange funding from the VA that I am now receiving for my 100% disability, I have decided to fund a general golf sponsorship in the name of “MOAA” at the Operation Welcome Home AZ Golf Tournament to be held in the fall. The organization is planning on building an 80% replica of the Vietnam Wall in Gilbert, AZ. Their golf tournament on November 5, 2016 at the Biltmore Golf Course, will help fund the construction of this Veterans Welcome Home AZ Park. I have been involved with that organization for nearly two years. I want to see both groups flourish, MOAA and OWHAZ. My daughters agreed that I could use their future inheritance to promote MOAA and OWHAZ. So I asked Col. Wright to present Lisa Rigler, President of OWHAZ and Roger Pollard, Vice President of OWHAZ my $9,500.00 check to cover that sponsorship in the name of MOAA. By the way Capt. Roger Pollard is one of our newest Superstition Mountain Chapter members. This sponsorship will allow MOAA to have 16 golfers. We will be selecting golfers from all 9 chapters in Arizona.

On Sunday April 24th, Capt. George Meegan USMC (ret) presented our SMC wreath at the Vietnam Veterans Commemorate Vietnam Remembrance Day at the Wesley Bolin Plaza by the State Capitol. We have presented our wreath at this activity for many years. Don’t forget, we will also be presenting our wreath at the National Cemetery on Memorial Day. Please try to attend and honor all of our deceased veterans.

President’s message continued…..

I hope to see many of you at our next meeting on May 15th. Greg Moore has put together an interesting program, a nonprofit organization that takes in unwanted dogs and trains them to be Therapy Dogs for Veterans. How fantastic is that!

We will also have our annual ‘Moment of Remembrance’ as we pause for a moment and remember all of our MOAA brothers and sisters that have passed.

AUXILIARY NEWS: from Ann Schminke

We have been busy stuffing pillows. So far we have stuffed 59 pillows that will be donated to the Phoenix Veterans Hospital. I have spoken with Shirley Phillips and she was glad to hear of our progress. The ladies have enjoyed getting to know each other. There has been much laughter and bonding amongst the stuffers. Please feel free to join us at our stuffing bee and enjoy the companionship of others. Our next luncheon is on May 13th. Come at 10:30 to stuff pillows or 11:30 for lunch. We will meet through the summer! Standing in for Ann – Judy Bushko

April Dinner Meeting

Col Barry Wright, Council & Chapters Director,

from National MOAA joined us for dinner. Col

Wright spoke to us about Veteran’s issues and

what MOAA National has been doing on our behalf.

Although he didn’t have time to speak on all the

issues Veterans face, he did make it clear that

MOAA National is fighting for our rights in

Washington. We appreciated Col Wright making

the trip from Virginia to speak with us.

Chairman Reports

1st Vice President Greg Moore

Our Superstition Mountain Chapter is going to the dogs. Rather, better stated, the dogs are coming to SMC. At our May dinner, we will be joined by representatives from, "Soldiers

Best Friend", a Peoria based nonprofit organization. This group, which does work statewide, takes shelter/rescue dogs and trains them to be companion dogs for veterans who may be suffering from PTSD or have a physical disability. The organization is a 501(c) 3 and is funded by donations and small grants. Sounds like a worthwhile group with a noble mission.

2nd Vice President

George Meegan

The April dinner was very successful as we gained new members. May is the last of the dinner meetings until September. The menu is Filet of Beef, Chicken Marsala or

Bourbon Shrimp. As always, your attendance and reservations are most appreciated. We can only hope the D'Backs are as successful as our chapter has been and will continue to do so.

We will begin our summer luncheons in June, meeting for social at 12:00 noon, with lunch served at 1:00pm. Menu choices will be Cheeseburger, Chicken Salad Croissant, Ruben Sandwich or Chef's Salad. Cost is $20 and reservations are due the Thursday before the lunch.

Email [email protected], call 480-897-8835, or mail your reservation to George Meegan, 1981 E. Dava Dr, Tempe AZ 85283.

Treasurer

Tom Ralph

We have almost completed all of our presentations to the 20 JROTC high schools and ASU ROTC units we support. I appreciate all of you who stepped up and made the presentations.

I realize it takes time away from your other endeavors to do this, but the cadets are definitely worth the effort. I would also like to thank everyone who donated to our JROTC fund this year. It’s not easy to come up with almost $3,000.00 for this program, but you did it!

Below is a thank you note from one of the JROTC units we sponsor.

Good Morning, Thank you for making the Higley AFJROTC Annual Awards Ceremony a success! Without you and your leadership, none of this would have been possible. I know each of you is very busy and for you to take time out of your day and to spend them with our Cadets means a lot to me and the AFJROTC program. Thank you again and may each of you have a great remainder to your week!

A note from Bob Delker

Shirley Ann Delker passed away early Tuesday morning March 29, 2016, what would have been her 80th Birthday. She has gone to a better place without any further pain. There will be a Mass in her honor on Friday, May 20th

, 11:00am at Holy Spirit Catholic Church -1800 East Libra Drive, Tempe, Arizona (cross streets McClintock Drive & Guadalupe). We are also having a Celebration of Life gathering following the Service at the Watershed Restaurant, 5250 South Lakeshore Drive, Tempe (12:30 – 3:30pm). We hope you can join us as we celebrate her life. Reservation arrangements are being made with the Embassy Suites Hotel (Rural Road and the 60 Freeway in Tempe) for those coming from out of state. Please RSVP to my daughter, Michelle Snider at [email protected] if you are able to join us for the Celebration of Life as well as if you need assistance with the hotel reservations.

For Your Information

It's official; DD-214s are NOW Online. The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214s online: http://vetrecs.archives.gov/ or try http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/

This may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy of his DD-214 for employment purposes. NPRC is working to make it easier for veterans with computers and Internet access to obtain copies of documents from their military files. Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military members may now use a new online military personnel records system to request documents. Other individuals with a need for documents must still complete the Standard Form 180, which can be downloaded from the online web site. Because the requester will be asked to supply all information essential for NPRC to process the request, delays that normally occur when NPRC has to ask veterans for additional information will be minimized. The new web-based application was designed to provide better service on these requests by eliminating the records centers mail room and processing time. Please pass this information on to former military personnel you may know and their dependents

In 1868, Ann Jarvis, mother of Anna Jarvis, created a committee to establish a "Mother's Friendship Day", the purpose of which was "to reunite families that had been divided during the Civil War." Jarvis – who had previously organized "Mother's Day Work Clubs" to improve sanitation and health for both Union and Confederate encampments undergoing a typhoid outbreak – wanted to expand this into an annual memorial for mothers, but she died in 1905 before the celebration became popular. Her daughter would continue her mother's efforts.

In its present form, Mother's Day was established by Anna Jarvis with the help of Philadelphia merchant John Wanamaker following the death of her mother, Ann Jarvis, on May 9, 1905.

Jarvis then campaigned to establish Mother's Day first as a U.S. national holiday and then later as an international holiday. The holiday was declared officially by the state of West Virginia in 1910, and the rest of the states followed quickly.

On May 10, 1913, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution calling on all federal government officials (from the president down) to wear a white carnation the following day in observance of Mother's Day. On May 8, 1914, the U.S. Congress passed a law designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day and requesting a proclamation. The next day, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation declaring the first national Mother's Day as a day for American citizens to show the flag in honor of those mothers whose sons had died in war. In 1934, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt approved a stamp commemorating the holiday.

Traditions on Mother's Day include churchgoing, the distribution of carnations, and family dinners. Mother’s Day is the third largest holiday in the US for sending cards. According to the greeting card industry, it is estimated that more than 50 percent of American households send greeting cards on this holiday. The holiday has been heavily commercialized by advertisers and retailers, and has been criticized by some as a Hallmark Holiday.
