ETABO COMMITTEE REPORT
BY ALAN GIBSON, CHAIR
The Leadership Conference is over
and those who attended reported they learned much and were
very satisfied with the seminars. As always, not everyone
could attend, so those who did need to be sure they get
the information they received out to those who could not
attend. We hope that we can get the handouts on line within
the month. Keep checking the web site, www.vva.org
Layton
Baker, a V.P. of U-Haul, gave an inspiring talk on how
U-Haul is helping veterans with second jobs and how the
company is working with new veterans by offering them employment
and business opportunities. Pat Kerr presented information
on how to help veterans find meaningful jobs at a living
wage.
As most Vietnam veterans are nearing retirement age,
it is never too early to plan for that event. Now is the
time to figure out if work is needed to supplement lost
income and how we can make ourselves feel useful. You may
want to get better informed on all VVA issues and volunteer
to help our fellow brothers and sisters, including the
Veterans of Modern Warfare.
Remember: You need to take care
of your own health first. You can’t hope for a better
future until you stop wishing for a better past.
