The LEGION ACT authorized an extension of our current "wartime" status, mostly including the Cold War veterans who had been left out. That's been corrected. Was this correction needed? Do we need to reach out to them? Should they even listen to our pitch? I address all of this and more...in less than 10 minutes. #LetsGo #WarmWelcome --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dalydose/message

Our Veterans Service Organizations are great at connecting veterans to their earned benefits...at no cost, by the way. That's just one piece of the pie, though. Our Membership and Programs troubles are complex, and this episode focuses on just one "value add" we can apply to our membership that would benefit both the veteran and the organization. On top of that, it can complete the pie! :) Mmmmm...pie. "If they ain't working; It ain't working" --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dalydose/message

I really don't like the current state of meetings in veteran organizations. I have ideas. I don't think they are controversial, other than it's not the way we've always done it. This is a problem that must be talked through and fixed. It's a pain point and I'm not the only one disliking meetings. This episode is less than 10 minutes, even though I could talk on this subject...for hours. Seeking feedback on my "solutions" and what else you might do.

Personally, I've always had great medical care with the VA. My issues are in other areas. Now I'm giving free advice that no one asked me for. :D I am here to help save money, get infinite ROI and serve veterans better with 2 simple recommendations. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dalydose/message

So, I've been thinking. There's been some over arching thing that's missing from out Veterans Service Organization. It boiled down to one keyword that I extended into an extended piece that was part rant and part illustrating what I meant. I know attention spans are short, but I think I might really be on to something to save our orgs as well as helping our veterans and our communities. Did you guess where I was going? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dalydose/message

RED FriDALY BRIEFing I did a thing. Hint: I joined another Veteran Service Organization and here's why I think doing the same would benefit you and the community.

I am back after a little holiday season break. Yesterday, I spent a good deal of time branding, including making this little video clip that will serve as a trailer for the show and also be part of the intro.I ran it by a couple of confidants, took their feedback, and made some tweaks. Of course, it features the new logo with a "CLASSIFIED" stamp.For those who have tuned in, does this represent the show?

I'm wearing Grunt Style for my SUPERHERO Tee! :) It's appropriate for this episode! There was an event this past weekend in San Diego American Legion District 22. SAN DIEGO AMERICAN LEGION 'BE THE ONE' WEEKEND was a high-profile, suicide prevention awareness, membership, and community resource event. We need more of these across the country!The American Legion National Commander, Daniel Seehafer was there and challenged all of us to live up to the idea that we are here to Change Lives and Save Lives. You can hear him and then hear my takeaways in this episode.

VetIntel 05December2023 Show Notes: VetIntel: Sports * Army/Navy – Go Navy: Army-Navy Preview: Army Enters Rivalry Game Looking To Flip Script (nesn.com) This game feels like it means so much more for Army, though. There's an obvious reason for that, as the Black Knights can take outright control of the Commander In Chief's Trophy with a victory over the Middies. In entering this contest without six wins, though, both Army and Navy failed to capture bowl eligibility this season. That means this will be the final game for seniors on both sides, with Army's class having the chance to become just the third with a winning record in this rivalry since 2000. Navy has been dominant in this rivalry throughout the 21st century, but Army could completely flip that narrative with a victory Saturday.

Do veterans stop being heroes when they leave the service? I have two stories that both illustrate that some veterans keep that ethos in honorable ways under dangerous situations. The rest of us can also be heroes. * We can be part of the grassroots veteran voice: www.legion.org/action. * We can donate blood. * We can get together and clean a community park. I propose that we become Community Heroes by learning CPR/First Aid/AED + Mental Health First Aid + Basic Self Defense. Who better than veterans to train and then act on that training when the need arises? You can find the stories that I talk about (and many that I don't have time to talk about) on my Flipboard page! https://flipboard.com/@dalydose2013/dalydose-of-veterans-intel-o8t4alt6z --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dalydose/message
