As I started looking at the various publications here in Sonoma County I realized that there is very little published about Veterans in the local media. It's not that what we do is not newsworthy. It's a matter of the struggle between the news editor and the advertising manager. It seems like advertising always wins, since it brings in revenue. At least the Internet has provided us with an alternative. Hopefully this blog will help improve the communications about and between veterans.
According to the California Department of Veterans Affairs there are more than 32,000 of us here in Sonoma County. Together we can accomplish much.
A little about me. I'm retired Navy and a member of Sotoyome Post 111 of the American Legion. I'm also the Charter Commander of Sotoyome Squadron 111 of the American Legion. I'm the Post Service Officer and also assist with public affairs.
