We are still under Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ). President Duterte has extended quarantine restrictions until 15 August 2020 and states things will return to normal by December. Metro Manila accounts for more than half of the COVID-19 cases and deaths.

President Duterte’s corona virus task force said it will lock down areas where cases surge. Please continue to monitor the restrictions imposed by the local government units where you live. SM Clark, and other establishments, are again requiring quarantine passes for entry.

1. Per Military.com, U.S. troops are all but guaranteed a 3% pay raise next year under legislation that has passed the U.S. Senate.

2. Per Military.com, a man who pretended to be a Navy SEAL, Silver Star recipient and prisoner of war in order to collect more than $300,000 worth of free care from the VA has pleaded guilty to charges including healthcare fraud, stolen valor and abetting illicit gun purchases. President Trump has increased the investigations of these stolen valor scumbags.

3. I will be bringing the tickets for our BIG BOX BLIND RAFFLE to our general membership meeting tomorrow at American Legion 123.

STAY SAFE.

JAMES (JIM) LARY
President
