Youth Leadership Conference: Companion "Rudy" Rudy has contributed
$200.00 toward our 2007 Youth Leadership Conference scholarship program. After I
briefed the new Principal at James Bowie High School, Mr. Stephen Kane, on the
YLC program, I offered to provide five scholarships for his students. The Bowie

Companion Chuck Szendrey, our Chapter Adjutant, is continuing his recovery phase at home. Chuck is working hard to regain muscle strength after being bedridden for so long. He would have attempted to attend our April meeting had his balance met his expectation. Companion Robert Bernstein continues to override his health vicissitudes and graced us with his presence at the April meeting. It seems everyone wanted to see pictures of Companion Stanley Bullard when he was a young USAF Captain flying B-52s over Vietnam. Companion Tom Anderson and I had to arm-wrestle over who would have the privilege of driving MG Bernstein to the Holiday Inn. If you desire a particular speaker or subject at a future meeting, please
contact Companion Stanley Bullard at sgbullard@sbcglobal.net or We should all be sensitive to the needs of our members that require assistance to facilitate their attendance at our meetings. Please do not hesitate to call me at 261-6272, to arrange for this service. Andrew J. McVeigh III |

of an answer for her first question.
Please contact your State Senator, or any and all of the Senators on the list below, and advise them that we, as veterans, endorse and support SJR 29 and enabling legislation SB 666 TX Senate Finance Committee: Ogden, Steve (Chair): 463-0105 | Request: 100% property tax reduction for veterans with 100% service
connected disability
Reason: approximately 30,000 Texas veterans are 100% service connected disabled who have honorably served both their country and the State of Texas and have made physical, emotional, and mental sacrifices resulting in their disabilities. These service connected disabilities have hindered these Texas veterans from achieving their fullest societal and economic potentials. The dream, concept, pride and sense of self-sufficiency and self-worth of home ownership are difficult at best for disabled veterans. The economic privations and reduced earning potential as a direct result of service-connected disabilities are exacerbated by ever increasing property taxes. All citizens of Texas understand and appreciate the sacrifices that have been made by these veterans. It is now time to recognize these sacrifices in a substantive and material gesture by making home ownership a reality for these patriots. To make this happen the following veterans organizations request that these 100% service connected disabled veterans be granted 100% reduction of their property taxes |
