5.  SEEKING MILITARY VETERANS FOR UPCOMING EVENT

From the Office of Congressman Ted Lieu:

Each year around Veterans day, Congressman Lieu brings together 6 to 8 veterans to join him in an event where the veterans tell a story about something they experienced while serving.  We look for a wide range of stories about things they experienced while serving – scary, exciting, inspirational, funny.  This is NOT about what the veteran is doing today unless they tie it into a specific experience that inspired this while they were in the Service.

The veteran tells their stories, and NO questions or discussion follows.  The idea is to acknowledge what he/she experienced and hopefully build a better appreciation for our veterans in the community.

We are looking for veterans or reservists who have had active duty and who live or work or volunteer in the CA 36 or nearby (including West LA VA) and would be willing to tell me their story and be considered for the event.

Any veteran interested can either email me one of his/her stories or I am happy to call the veteran and take notes as they tell me the story. 

Many thanks,

Janet Turner
Deputy District Director, CA 36
