1 January - March 2015 Western New York Chapter 77 Tonawanda, New York Mail Call: Notes From the President By Mike Walker I hope all had good holidays this year. A stuffed Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas and a safe New Year s Eve. Most of all I hope you had a good Veterans Day. The chapter was busy Veterans Day starting with a veterans breakfast in North Tonawanda, a ceremony at the bridge between Tonawanda and North Tonawanda and the service on the waterfront at the memorial. The service at the waterfront was held it at 3 PM so we wouldn t be in the dark as we usually are. Even with the 3 PM time the service was well attended. Also attending were ARVN veterans and their families. I feel that it was nice of them to come. They asked if next year they could join use and present their colors with us. I have no problem with this seeing they are veterans and did fight with us. The chapter has taken on the mission of creating a memorial with the Cobra Helicopter we have. The memorial s location will be in Veterans Park in the City of Tonawanda. As you can the plan includes a brick walkway to the memorial. To fund the memorial the Chapter decided to conduct a brick sale for which individuals can buy and brick and have their name and/or insignia placed on it. It is big project and we need all our members to help. If every member buys one brick we will have enough cash to get the project done. You will find more about this in the newsletter. After reading about the sale you can go to our web site ( and click on the Helicopter Fund (lift hand side of home page) find the form, fill it out, send it and a check made out to the chapter. We also have a Gofundme page. You can make a donation there. I truly encourage all you to assist in making this memorial come to realization. If anyone has questions about it they can me at mw12345@aol.com. One more thing elections are in April.

Since 2005 we have awarded 255 $250 scholarships for a total of $63,750 to deserving high school seniors in Erie and Niagara counties who went on to an accredited program of higher education.

6 VA NEWS By Tom Konopka Parking at the Buffalo VA on Bailey Avenue has been a problem for many years. A few years ago a parking ramp was constructed to alleviate this problem. The VA asked Erie County to lend it an unused portion of the Grover Cleveland Golf Course to use during construction. The VA paved, marked and fenced this unused land and used it for parking. The completion of the parking ramp relived much of the problem and the land lent by Erie County is now primarily used for staff parking. The increasing influx of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans to the many hospital clinics has made continued use of the Erie County land a necessity. A request was made of Erie County to donate the land to the VA. The County Executive, Marc Poloncarz has steadfastly refused the request and the Legislature has refused to consider the request and pass a resolution donating this unused parcel to the VA. Our NY State representatives are ready to pass the requisite state resolution, but, first need action by Erie County. We now know what Erie County leaders think about Veterans. THE BRICK CAMPAIGN By Ed Bodine We need you help!!! Chapter 77 has acquired a Cobra helicopter. We have a location at Veterans Park in the city of Tonawanda. Now we need to get the money together to display it. We need about $50,000 to make this happen. We are going to sell bricks which will be placed in the walkway to the helicopter. Now we have over 625 members. If each of us would buy a brick that would help us reach our goal. We are selling two different colors bricks one color is for Veterans and the other is for the general public. The bricks come in 3 different sizes. A 4X8 costs $100, 8X8 is $175 and 12X12 is $250. Please consider buy one for yourself or even your family members. The form for the bricks is on our website ( or if you have any questions please contact myself, Mike or Paul. Dr. Kerry Donnelly, a VA neuropsychologist, recently received a VVA Certificate of Achievement and VVA medallion for her work in treating Veterans and her recently completed tenure as chairperson of the Institutional Review Board that evaluates human research studies at the Buffalo VA. Everyone who has internet access is encouraged to sign up for the My healthevet program on the Buffalo VA website and to also check for local VA events. Links to healthcare information and services available at the Buffalo VA are also available. Note: Only a sample brick polarengraving.com will not be on the bricks
