Dear Comrades and friends.
Well here we go again, another election and another VFW year. 2013-2014
I would like to thank all the outgoing Officers for their service and congratula-
tions to the newly elected Officers. This will be my 28th year as Commander
and we have come a long way but have much more to do.
I would like more volunteers to come forth to help at the Post in this new year,
especially volunteers with skills in plumbing, painting, electrical work, carpen-
try, etc. Additionally we need help in many other areas, so please contribute
your time. Call one of the Officers and we will get back to you.
Our goal this year is to finish the museum, the museum ad book and to get
enough new members to reach our goal of 300 members. They are out there so
if you know someone and need sign up assistance, give us a call at 407-889-
8266. Also we want to increase our attendance at our dinner/dance functions so
bring your friends and help get a crowded dance floor again.
In closing, keep our troops in your prayers till they are all home with their loved
ones. GOD BLESS AMERICA

Jr. Vice Commander’s Corner: Ed Velazquez “VA doesn't follow up with many veterans after mental health care”
About a third of Veterans considered to be at high risk for suicide don’t receive the recommended
follow-up care after they’ve been discharged from Veterans Affairs Department inpatient mental
health care, according to a new report from the VA Inspector General. The VA study shows that of
215 cases reviewed between April and September 2012, 65 did not receive the recommended after-
care of four visits within 30 days of being discharged. Thirty three percent did not have any record
of being contacted by a suicide prevention coordinator or case manager, as also is recommended in
VA treatment policies.
According to the report, patients who were not deemed at high risk for suicide fared slightly better.
VA requires that patients discharged from acute mental health hospitalizations receive an evaluation
within seven days of discharge, and the Inspector General found that 78 percent of 475 patients had
received some type of evaluation within the expected time frame. But, 79 of those patients had re-
ceived only a phone call and 30 of them did not get an appointment with a provider or even a tele-
health counseling session in two weeks after discharge, . Nearly three-fourths of patients did not
receive any follow-up evaluation within 48 hours.
The VA is attempting to correct these concerns and has been building a database of suicide statistics
to better understand the scope of the problem and develop programs to prevent it.
