( September 1  , 2010)

In order to further improve the lines of communication and to respond to the concerns between the National VA Council and you our members, I have established a National VA Council Briefing. This NVAC Briefing will bring you the latest news and developments within DVA and provide you with the current status of issues this Council is currently addressing. I believe that this NVAC Briefing will greatly enhance the way in which we communicate and the way in which we share new information, keeping you better informed.

In This Briefing:  Happy Labor Day 2010

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As another summer is about to come to a close.  Vacations to various destinations only a memory as we soon face Fall and then Winter.  To many a last chance to extend summer, but for a little longer.

Labor Day, is a day to honor both working men and women.  It is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers; and is a national tribute to the contributions that workers have made to the well being of our country.

On behalf of the AFGE/National VA Council, on this Labor Day, I would like to salute each and every one of you for all your hard work, dedication and commitment to caring for our nation’s veterans.
