It is time all Ma. veterans orgs. seek an increase for 100% rated disabled veterans. The state's $2,000 Annunity should be raised to $5,000 effective 2007. Property tax relief should be for all veterans, not just the disabled. Rep Delahunt a friend of our military who has worked hard to improve our standards will be asked to submit legislation requiring the VA to provide prescriptions with no co-pay/means test to any honorably discharged Veteran.  I urge all Veterans to write, email or phone your elected officials. Thanks to the Washington Post for exposing the disgracefull treatment of our wounded warriors were recieving. Congress needs to start oversight hearing on this matter and ensure it never occurs at any VA facility again.  Remember you brothers and sisters in harms way.

Richard T. Riehle, Adjutant, Amvets Post 333
