Announcements: From AUG Net Announcements: National Commander’s updates, 28 July, 2020: “The names etched on the National Vietnam War Memorial are to be forever
Remembered, but they are not complete. Veterans continue to lose their lives as a result of their
Vietnam War service. The American Legion welcomes the measure passed by the U.S. Senate
last week which would add bladder cancer, hypothyroidism and Parkinson’s disease to the 14
illnesses already covered by the Department of Veterans Affairs for illnesses connected to
Agent Orange exposure. Earlier this year, I signed a joint letter with other Veteran Service
Organizations encouraging the passage of this amendment. We owe it to the heroes who are
still paying a price from their service half a century ago.”

If you have a digital voice-capable radio D-Star, C4FM, Wires-X or DMR, and would like to join next Thursday’s net, all information can be found at www.openquad.net. NOTE: The C4FM reflector can be found at Quadnet-Array, Room 45058, D-Star via XRF 757A, and DMR via Talkgroup 31012.
