ur Winter DEC in Clemmons was quiet a success. Our National Ladies Auxiliary President, Dee Kreiling, was able to visit with us. Everyone enjoyed meeting her at her reception, the meetings and the reverse drawing. This was the first time she had seen a reverse drawing and is eager to share with her local auxiliary in PA. The reverse drawing was a success and the food was great. Thank you to all who helped with the food and the items donated for the auction. A special shout out to Ways and Means Chairman, Marcia Fenwick, for all the great cooking she did and to Nada Curphey, Scholarship Chairman, for her hard work and organizational skills that kept everything running so smoothly. Thank you also to Commander Lowry, Mike Rozmaryn, Roger Fenwick and the Sons for their help.

More inside... All auxiliaries were represented and the reporting is looking great. If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact the different chairmen, NEC Woman Margie Rabb or myself. The department officer’s reports were given and everything looks good there too. Please remember to get your reports in and send your membership in as well. We were saddened to hear of the passing of PNP Susie Sisler. She will truly be missed and our thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Please keep our veterans, active duty military and their families and all of our AMVETS families in your thoughts and prayers. God bless America! Pat Pulliam, Department President

When that one young fellow goes on his own - YOU’VE NEVER SEEN A RIFLE SPUN THAT FAST - note the collective “Ooooooooo !” from the audience.

n November 13, AMVETs Post 201 held the 2nd annual “Salute to Veterans” in recognition of Veterans Day at the Lake Royale Clubhouse. The ceremony was opened with a prayer by Rev. Daniel Jenks, Lt. Col. US Army (Retired) and Pastor of Franklinton United Methodist Church. The National Anthem was performed in a duet by Linda & David McCray of the Royale Aires. Forrest Johnson Adjutant Post 201 led us in the Pledge of Allegiance, and then, welcoming remarks were given by Dick Maryman, Commander Post 201. Guest speakers included: Stuart Nottingham, representing the Lake Royale POA; Victor Alston - Franklin County Veterans Service Officer; Oceanous Lowry- AMVET NC Department Commander; and Representative John May of the NC House of Representatives. Each added meaning and purpose to the event leading to our key note speaker. Sergeant Major Jacob Roth US Army (Retired) provided the key note address. He is the present NC Commander of Ex-POWs and had personally been held captive for over 37 months by the North Koreans during the Korean War. His personal account of his own capture and the “Tiger Death March” that followed was a moving experience with details that are dehumanizing at the hands of the enemy. He along with 700+ military captives and civilians depended upon faith, fellow detainees and survival instincts plus perseverance that few of us can relate to in our lives. Only a small percentage of the Korean War POWs have lived to tell of their experience. We recognized collectively the veterans of each war and conflict of the 20th and 21st century. Due recognition was given to one World War II veteran who joined us for the ceremony. We were honored by his presence. Opie Pearce laid a wreath at the podium in recognition of those veterans who have passed on. Lt. Col. Jenks provided a moving rendition of “God Bless the USA” before he closed our ceremony with a blessing.

Mr. Larry Cooke Commander AMVETS Post 820 2714 Charlotte Highway Mooresville, NC 28115 Dear Mr. Cooke, It was a particular pleasure to meet with you, Mr. Moore, and Mr. Wilson this past Tuesday and I am exceptionally grateful for your extremely generous donation to Mooresville High School’s Naval Junior ROTC Program.

On behalf of Chief Tate and all the Cadets of the Mooresville High School Naval Junior ROTC Program, please know we are very grateful for your support.

27 October 2010 – Breast Cancer Awareness Month – “Think Pink II”

H

Karen Timko

aving lost my mother this past year to Breast Cancer and Alzheimer’s, I decided to choose the Lower Cape Fear Hospice and Care Center for the Think Pink packages. Sixteen care packages were provided, on behalf of AMVETS Post #906, to the female patients. The pink packages were wrapped in a pink toile, a pink ribbon and a rose. They contained some small personal hygiene items and tagged with our logo and post number, the pink ribbon symbol with the message “Because We Care”. The Lower Cape Fear Hospice is a beautiful care center filled with many caring and loving nurses and nurses aides. It really takes a special person to fill their shoes. It is located in Wilmington and has 12 private rooms with views of the beautifulJapanese water garden and other gardens. If you or a family member ever needs that individual care, they can be reached at (910)7629422. God bless.

post 910 - Albermarle Holiday Celebrations

A

MVETS Post 910 has been quite busy over the holiday season. We set a goal of providing 15 families with food baskets and to send items to the troops overseas. With the help of Stanly County residents and businesses we were able to reach our goal. We delivered 15 large baskets of food to families and sent four boxes to the troops plus accomplish quite a bit more. We took personal care baskets to 10 residents in nursing homes, put together 10 Christmas stockings for children, donated two large containers of beads to a young lady in Norwood so she could make bracelets. Helped a family give their child a Christmas with a stocking and presents for all in the family, plus a basket of food. All this was done because of donations from residents and merchants. Stanley County sure stepped up. Thank you for all your donations and help. We had a Halloween party which was a great success. Gerry Pion and Hazel Hudson were the costume winners. We had quite a few members who dressed in costume, we all danced to a great band and had plenty of food to eat. Twenty-four members participated in the Veterans day parade. Luckily the weather was great. We sponsored an Elvis show, with several Elvis personators. Johnny cash also put in an appearance. Plus two sisters, 11 and 12. It was a great three-hour show.

Sons of AMVETS Report

T

he Sons membership is down for the year. The Son’s regret that they can’t have the fishing tournament or beach party, but we hope to participate next year with the family picnic.

The Son’s are seeking clothes, coat, and hats for the Vets at the V.A. hospitals. We also need phone cards for the Veterans to call their families. The Sons are selling tickets for gas or cash. The price is a $250 cash or gas card. A dollar donation enters the raffle. This is to be given away at the April DEC meeting. I am looking forward to going to Washington in March with the Sons to talk with our Senators and Congressmen about the veterans and their benefits. We also will be going to the monuments where we place wreaths. I will be carrying the Sons N.C. flag during the ceremony. 

Pineapple Bread Pudding Nada Curphey

Index :: DFAS customers affected by 2011 tax changes

DFAS customers affected by 2011 tax changes Print This Article

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 10, 2011 - DFAS customers may be affected by recent changes to the tax law, tax tables and other legislation. Some of the changes include:

• Income level • W-4 elections

1 can crushed pineapple, drained 1 stick oleo (melted) 10-12 slices cubed bread (no crusts)

Grease large Corning “skillet” (or 8x8 pan) arrange cubed bread in the bottom. Mix remaining ingredients- pour over bread. Place crusts in a design on the top- place maraschino cherries if desired for contrast. Bake at 350 for 45 min.

• Reduction in Social Security tax withholding from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent for 2011 • Expiration of the Making Work Pay credit, which may increase the amount of wages subject to income tax withholding • 1.4 percent pay increase for Military service members The amount of the changes in net pay will depend on several factors to include the following:

3 eggs ½ c. milk 2 c. sugar

This is the yummiest pineapple bread pudding recipe you will ever tast. A very special request was made that we print this in the paper and after tasting the bread at the reverse drawing, we could not refuse.

DFAS customers may be affected by recent changes to the tax law, tax tables and other legislation. A reduction in Social Security tax withholding from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent for 2011 and the expiration of the Making Work Pay credit may increase the amount of wages subject to income tax withholding. The amount of the changes in net pay will depend on several factors to include income level and W-4 elections. (DFAS graphic)

Military Reservists and National Guard members will be the first to see potential changes in their pay as a result of the law. Any changes will be reflected in their January 5 paycheck. Active duty military personnel will see their pay changes in their January 14 paycheck and reflected in the January LES. DOD civilian and other federal employees paid by DFAS will see social security withholding changes reflected in paychecks based on the pay period ending January 1 with paydates on January 7, 11 or 13. The tax withholding changes for 2011 will be implemented for the pay period ending January 15th with paydates on January 21, 25 or 28. Military retirees and annuitants will see the changes reflected in their March 1 payment. Retirees can view the changes in myPay on February 1 and annuitants can view the changes in myPay on February 18. Account statements with the new net pay amounts reflected will be mailed to all retirees and annuitants affected by the change in February. Please ensure you review your pay statement to see how these changes will potentially affect you. DFAS customers with questions on the changes should contact their financial advisors or tax consultants for more details. Tax information can be found at the IRS website www.irs.gov. return to top Index :: DFAS customers affected by 2011 tax changes Send a comment to the editor of the DBJ about this article Help

Air National Guard director: Equitable treatment of all a "moral imperative" By Bryan Ripple Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute

A

ir Force Lt. Gen. Harry M. Wyatt III, director of the Air National Guard, addresses Guard and Reserve graduates of the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute's Equal Opportunity Advisor Reserve Component Program on Feb. 4, 2011, at the Institute. The EOARCP curriculum develops a base of knowledge and skills that allow graduates to assess human relations climates in the organizations they serve, and to provide advice and assistance to commanders to prevent, reduce or eliminate discriminatory practices. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. 1st Class Brian G. Rhodes) (Released) "Our servicemembers in the National Guard and Reserve are indeed our most valuable asset," Air Force Lt. Gen. Harry “Bud” Wyatt told 87 National Guard and Reserve graduates of the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute’s Equal Opportunity Advisor Reserve Component Program. “As leaders we owe them our very best efforts – and it cannot be with closed minds that we undertake this endeavor. We cannot meet mission success without the expertise and dedication of our equal opportunity specialists and advisors.” EO programs have made important contributions to all Department of Defense servicemembers and civilians serving in an environment of dignity, equality and respect, Wyatt said. Wyatt highlighted a photo of Army National Guard Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester, vehicle commander, 617th Military Police Company, Richmond, Ky., who

received the Silver Star at Camp Liberty, Iraq. Hester is the first female Soldier since World War II to receive the Silver Star. New and evolving legislation may change to allow full equal opportunity for women, including in combat, Wyatt said. “DEOMI graduates are the ‘change agents’ that help to educate people on the need – the moral imperative – to be equitable in our treatment of all people,” Wyatt said. “Equal Opportunity Advisors recognize the responsibility to speak the truth in the face of adversity and injustice and are representatives of their commanders,” he said. Below are links to this week’s stories about all the great work being done by you and your fellow National Guardmembers - both here at home and overseas. Maybe your state and your unit are featured in this week’s lineup! Please visit our website and our Facebook page at TheNationalGuard for these and many other stories, photos and videos. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LTC Eric D.
