Son Going To England With VA Vets Appointed to C

Posted by Phillipa on May 11, 2013, at 10:40:25

My Son found out yesterday is going to England was appointed to a Blind Veterans Committee To Visit Parliament, London, And Some Meeting. A Position has or will soon open up in DC for Director or something like this Of Blind Vets and he was asked to accept the position. So now after moving to Florida he may take the position and move with wife and her Son to outside DC. Always moving or going somewhere. But he also I think has an option of another position closer to Florida. Last summer he spent in CA doing contract work for the Military there. This he told me on the phone yesterday. Said the trip to England gives all the Committee a chance to travel and meet. Will also visit Castles. 8 days. He has earned this and I'm happy for him. Phillipa

I think I saw a pic of him somewhere on facebook. It was a while back...that sounds good, is the VA paying for the trip?

my dad is a VA veteran, actually today is his birthday....the 11th. That makes me think his funny jokes he had when I did stupid things, and gave him pomegranate juice for his birthday couple years ago.... Airhead....

that sounds pretty good, tell him to visit the wales...i think, there's a lot of green pastures that are breathe taking something you would see in a story book.....lol

Dinah more exciting for him is that for years he's been waiting for the positions in DC to open up as those in office are Viet Nam Vets now retiring. So the week is a kind of get to know you type thing. And then the opportunity to visit a foreign country and tour for free. I do believe the the trip consists of many meeting also. I wonder if he might get to meet the Queen? Phillipa
