Angel Fire, NM - “In de-
manding justice from the
government we served, we
veterans simply have to
become more vocal,” said
Gregory C. Reed.
On November 11, Reed will
have a pulpit to lay that
challenge on his fellow
veterans, when he addresses a
crowd expected to reach 400 at
Veterans Day Observances
November 11, at the Disabled
American Veterans (DAV)
Vietnam Veterans National
Memorial in Angel Fire, New
Mexico.
"Some powerful politicians
in Washington are doing it
again, talking out of both sides
of their mouths about
veterans,” said Reed, a com-
bat-wounded Vietnam veteran
and National 1st Junior Vice
Commander of the 1.2-million-
member DAV.
"When speaking publicly,
they fill the air with praise for
our patriotism and virtue and
willingness to risk death in
defense of liberty,” explained
Reed. “Privately, however, in
darkened rooms where deals
are cut they compare us to
welfare recipients and attack
veterans’ programs in over-
zealous attempts to reduce
federal spending.”
Even as U.S. forces are put
in harm’s way in Haiti and
other trouble spots around the
globe, Reed said, powerful
forces in Washington are at-
tempting to dismantle pro-
grams that provide medical
care and other benefits earned
by men and women who self-
lessly served their country.
“Such efforts to cut vet-
erans’ benefits - all in the
name of fiscal constraint
-serve as vivid examples of
callousness and contempt
among some government
leaders,” Reed said.
Each year for more than two
decades, thousands of veterans
from all wars, their families
and friends have made the
pilgrimage to the beauty and
majesty of the DAV Vietnam
Vetems National Memorial to
reflect on the high cost of war,
to mourn our nation’s warriors
lost in Vietnam and to cele-
brate those who survived.
In addition to taking part in
-ihe special Veterans Day
observances, visitoK will be
able to tour the spiritually
moving memorial chapel and
the 6,000 square foot visitors
center and exhibit area.
All facilities at the memorial
are totally accessible to per-
sons with diasabilities. The
visitors center and exhibit area
feature pictorial displays, art,
sculpture, banners and flags,
as well as an interactive,
computer-based audiovisual in-
formation and education ex-
hibit. This exhibit, unveiled
last year, gives visitors access
to film footage, photographs,
television, and newspaper and
magazine reports about the
Vietnam War. Also featured is
biographical information on
the more than 58,000 Ameri-
cans who died in Vietnam.
Additional information
about the Veterans Day pro-
gram, as well as color slides of
the Memorial are available
upon request.

For the past 20 years (give
or take a few) the Stewart
Blood Center has held periodic
drives here in Emory on behalf
of Rains County.
Until this past week, for the
most part, local blood drives
were sponsored by the Emory
Lions Club. Since Nov. 1991,
223 units have been donated to
Stewart Blood Center by resi-
dents of Rains County. At the
present time Rains County has
a credit of 187 blood units,
which will be held until June of
1995. The 40 uifits collected at
Rains High School last week
will be held until October of
1995.
Sue Harrington of Stewart
Blood Center in Tyler stated
that if no one in “our” county
needs blood, “the sponsoring
agents’' should release unused
units to hemophiliac patients,
children’s hospitals, etc. If
blood unit credit is not utilized
in one year, the county and/or
donors lose that credit.
Anyone needing blood may
contact Booker Nix (Emory
Lions Club Blood Pool #6125)
or Bob Clopton, principal of
Rains High School. You do
not have to be indigent to re-
ceive blood.
Now here is where the mb
comes and is basically what is
wrong with our public health
system and causes high medi-
cal insurance premiums. Stew-
art allows an $11.00 credit for
each unit of blood donated.
When blood is donated, seven
tests are run: for hepatitis,
AIDS, other communicable
diseases, blood type, etc. A pa-
tient in the hospital needing a
blood transfusion is (within
6-12 weeks) credited with
$11.00 per unit received.
The hospital gets about $255
per unit. They do a blood
count, a differential manual
(your guess is as good as
mine), an R.H. blood factor
test, antibody screening, blood
ABO, annv. tray, cross match,
etc. plus a handling charge of
A LITTLE FREE ADVICE:
When a hospital mails a
statement for X amount of
money, INSIST on an itemized
statement. Duplicate charges
are MOST common.
BYOP - Bring your own pil-
low or pay $19.00 for that
sorry little item they refer to as
“a pillow.” Mlso take your
own Kleenex, Tylenol, wash
pan and something to eat.
I am not trying to belittle or
discourage blood donations.
Most of us never think about
needing blood, but when we
do, we are so thankful that
there is available blood. Please
don’t stop giving. Just don’t
think everything is “according
to Hoyle.” Every now and
then we need to raise our little
heads and at least act like we
know what is going on!
