This year's theme "Viva Las Vegas" was an ode to the appreciation of Las Vegas and to recognize the 60th anniversary of Elvis Presley and Ann-Margaret's movie Viva Las Vegas filmed on UNLV's campus. After seeing the event's kickoff speeches by UNLV's President Whitfield and Dean Uscher, we saw performances by Elvis and Ann-Margaret at the Barrick Museum of Art, we explored the school's art galleries and exhibits and walked along the malls to see live music, dance performances, film demonstrations, and theater events. We took part in an interactive exhibit from the Film Dept where their cinematographers demonstrated how a static vehicle can be made like it is moving. We saw ukulele group performing, belly dancers, light saber duelists, singers and pianists perform. Along the mall and in the exhibit buildings, there were "All You Can Taste" food tastings from favorite local restaurants, wine tastings and a beer garden. A great free event to celebrate the art and culture of Las Vegas. I hope to be back for the 8th Annual Art Walk.

As an older veteran, I was unfamiliar with the VA disability eligibility process, and questioned that I would be eligible for disability consideration. The staff member explained the process and submitted the initial paperwork required by the VA, based on the information I provided him. The staff members informed me of expecting future contacts from the VA regarding my submission. They were spot on in this regard. Following up on this matter, I again sought information from the Center and was informed my issue would best be served with the assistance of an attorney who specializes in VA disability affairs. I appreciated the Center recognizing the complexity of my case and immediately directing me to an attorney. I selected Mr. Travis Barrick, Esq., who has represented me in all matters related to my case. I appreciate the Veterans Transition Resource Center's ongoing assistance and referral to an outstanding attorney and advocate.

We must never forget those that risked their lives for our country!…read more Freedom is not given; and it is not free. Our liberty and pursuit of happiness was given to us by those proud brave souls that wanted a better chance and life FREE from oppression. This is why we celebrate and thank our soldiers, not just on Memorial Day. Anyday!! This organization was a wonderful beacon when my husband died. We had no plan for his passing and I had no idea what to do when he died; except cry. I had no family here in Las Vegas, so dumbfounded and delirious I turned to the veterans services. Who knows what to ever do in a crisis? We are never prepared for the unexpected loss of a loved one. Especially, when they "seem" in great health and shape. I highlight that s since it was a pulmonary embolism that took my husband, really an act of God. This agency helped me to calm myself and listened when no one else would. Having no where to turn except my husbands employment I felt lost and saddened. The cries and tears I had were answered here not by any monetary means, but with comradeship and comfort from his brothers in arms. Once you join the military, any branch it's for life . This means that when they pass that obligation to care for those left behind, women and children usually, is immediately answered. Recently, I have returned the love and paid it forward to this organization and others that help veterans with volunteering when I am needed, and donating items that our family no longer needs. This is all that I can aid in but sometimes it's the smallest gifts that come from the heart that are received the best. I like nothing better than to listen to a veteran about their time spent serving out country. I was a "true" army brat, so I am no stranger to army life. Being born while my dad was stationed in Germany, my mom traveled with me in tow as dad moved through his assignments in Europe. Many think that being an Army Brat is a charmed life but moving here and there where is home truly. Home was where we laid, but I was loved unconditionally. For twenty four years, now a widow I was loved unconditionally too. Of course my husband was an Army Brat too his parents stationed in Arkansas. I feel that this incredible love that I was blessed with can be passed on to those that no longer feel loved. Everyone should feel love, especially those that surrendered and gave so much to ensure all the freedoms that we have today . Now pass along love to all those whom are protecting our freedoms. So let's say how can I get involved in helping my local veterans? Seek out Google and let your fingers walk and mind wander. Ponder how just a small slice of your attention can go so far. Be the change that you want to be in the world. However small or large impact that you feel you need to make. Go out and change the world always remember that those that fought and died for our country is the reason for your being. Never forget your freedom was not free. Pay it forward everyday and know that you matter so does your voice. The soldiers carry our heavy burdens lets be their voice when they cannot have one!

Nelson Mandela Join me as we celebrate a day, a day that honors those that have served our nation both past, present, and future. November 11, a day set aside to honor all of those that have served this great nation. Originally, this day was marked as the day to end all wars. It became important in more recent times to show the veterans our appreciation for their heroism and patriotism. Thank you for all military personal for keeping us all safe and free! In the last two decades the United States has entered into this conflict, disagreement over what happening all over the globe. We seem to ride in on our steel birds to the rescue. It's the least we can do! Right. Personal freedom and experiences we have our ladies and gentlemen of all of the armed forces to thank. Not only in our great nation, but we have become the champions for those that get bullied or stepped over by some faction trying to take their rights away in far off lands all over the globe. When our soldiers have come home in the past and present it is organizations in the community that give them support. As a military wife for many years and daughter to a military family it's an unusual upbringing with lots of moving. You never know where you will be from one year to the next. After having the twins, and through some protest to my husband it was time for him to settle down and leave the military. I learned that you never leave the military, for the men that you fight along side become brothers in the real sense. After the death of my husband two years ago, who was there for the twins and I. The brothers that my beloved knew. Individuals I did not even know were comforting me in my time of loss. God bless each one of them. It seems these days that vets get a bad rap. They come home from seeing such atrocities all over the world; and it's hard to process these things. In America many seem to walk around with blinders on and don't realize it. That homeless man that seems broken, talking to himself after fighting for our nation is at his lowest. He's talking to himself and could even be violent. See the rage and hate for life from his point of view. Can you see the image? Boys just landing fresh out of boot camp, wanting to fight that fight for freedom. They grab that gun and go to armed car. Time to go get the bad guys. Some of our troops have taken lives more than once. Then they come home, no more guns now let's replace the gun with a cell phone. Time to start life again, many of the soldiers come back to families and children they have not even met. It's hard for them to cope. Families break up because of unlivable conditions and here comes the cycle. That homeless vet that we all have seen. Don't fear him or her? Let's do something about it. We need to help our own. Give vets a chance to live. After the loss of my husband, I did not want to continue on with life. Life was meaningless. During my college days, I wanted to do something to change life for the veteran. This organization and ones like it are the answers. There is not enough of them. We all have the be the voice for those that need our help. Let's bring about social change and justice for a simple and healthy way of life for those that have given their souls. Men have bled for this country and our freedoms; what do we do. Cast them aside . Change starts now. Let's remember our veterans this time of year and every other day of the year. God Bless!
