Can some one correct this header to H. R. 4051? Somewhere along the way it got changed to 4041 which I'm sure will cause some confusion if members use that number to contact their Congressman.

E-mailed Congressman Wolfe urging him to co-sponsor this bill.

I don't post  to this site often, but check it each day. As soon as I saw the post about Senator Snowe's bill being introduced, I contacted both of my Senators, James Webb to thank him for co-sponsoring and Mark Warner to urge him to co-sponsor as well, or absent that, to support his fellow Virginian Senator. As soon as the Bill number is available for the House version, I will contact my Representative.

I also posted to the "Marine Together We Served" site the information about Senator Snowe's Bill and referred them to the American Cold War Veteran's site for additional info.  I have done this in the past and it always sparks a bit of interest, not overwhelming, but at least it helps to spread the word. I am sure there are any number of Military sites on the web to which similar news could be posted.

Finally, I would like to express my appreciation to those officers, and others, of ACWV who have persevered and have gotten the cause to the present point; we are not there yet, but, hopefully, one of these days, the goal will be attained.
