Hello all!
First off, congratulations to Colleen McCarthy on her elevation to Bronx County Commander. She’s a tireless worker and this was much deserved. So, congrats.
The Flag Retirement Ceremony was well attended and went off without a flaw.
The next function will be a BBQ at the VA Hospital. It’ll be after the 4th of July holiday so stay tuned to this column.
This next from the above mentioned Colleen. The VA is reaching out to veterans to help keeping them from defaulting on their home loans. Depending on a vets circumstances, the VA loan counselors can intercede with the borrower on the veteran’s behalf to pursue options–such as repayment plans, forbearance, and loan modifications-that would allow a vet to keep his or her home. Call the VA toll free to get a financial advisor at 1-877-827-3702. Info about VA’s home loan guaranty program can be obtained at www.homeloans.va.gov
OK this is a short column. Hope every one had a great Father’s Day.
