Solving Membership & Programs Issues
Our Veterans Service Organizations are great at connecting veterans to their earned benefits...at no cost, by the way. That's just one piece of the pie, though.
Our Membership and Programs troubles are complex, and this episode focuses on just one "value add" we can apply to our membership that would benefit both the veteran and the organization. On top of that, it can complete the pie! :) Mmmmm...pie.

FriDALY Disney Plus Military/Veteran Deal
I do not like meetings. Let's fix it!
I really don't like the current state of meetings in veteran organizations. I have ideas. I don't think they are controversial, other than it's not the way we've always done it.
This is a problem that must be talked through and fixed. It's a pain point and I'm not the only one disliking meetings.
This episode is less than 10 minutes, even though I could talk on this subject...for hours. Seeking feedback on my "solutions" and what else you might do.
Shout out to Liz Hartman who makes a still photo appearance!
A Bill that Could REALLY Fix the VA
Sometimes a bill gets introduced in Congress that makes so much sense while also having no real chance of passing. This one could actually fix the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) - U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Find out what it is and why you should support it.

VetIntel: Free Advice to the VA - Save $ and Better Serve Veterans
Personally, I've always had great medical care with the VA. My issues are in other areas. Now I'm giving free advice that no one asked me for. :D I am here to help save money, get infinite ROI and serve veterans better with 2 simple recommendations.
VetIntel: What's MISSING From Our Veterans Service Orgs?
So, I've been thinking. There's been some over arching thing that's missing from out Veterans Service Organization. It boiled down to one keyword that I extended into an extended piece that was part rant and part illustrating what I meant. I know attention spans are short, but I think I might really be on to something to save our orgs as well as helping our veterans and our communities.
Did you guess where I was going?
FriDALY BRIEFing: Joining Another Veteran Service Org? Yup.
RED FriDALY BRIEFing
I did a thing. Hint: I joined another Veteran Service Organization and here's why I think doing the same would benefit you and the community.
I also belong to other veteran groups like Team Red, White & Blue and Team Rubicon , and I really want to start an LA chapter of the Veterans Beer Club. This video is specifically about the big legacy VSOs.
FriDALY BRIEFing: Vietnam Veterans Day
It's Vietnam War Veterans Day. Please join me in saying "Welcome Home" to all who deployed and "THANK YOU" to anyone who served honorable in that difficult time. All service matters!
Vet Intel - 2nd Stroke-Aversary+
There's a LOT going on here, I admit:
1. My 2nd year stroke survival anniversary.
2. Women's History on a personal level.
3. Giving props to the VA Hospital.
VetIntel: Black History & Tango Oscar Papa
My video-podcast content has been gone for a minute, but I’m
back. I had to get in a Black History Month episode, especially after I noticed the absence of one at my former gig. ☹
In these show notes, I’m going to link to the episodes we did over there the last few years.

Valentines? ValenTEAMS!
I get a little worked up on this one. I was INSPIRED by an Optimism Company video.
This is simple action over awareness that we need our #suicideprevention battle.

VetIntel: Advocacy for Self, Others & Community
My schedule has been off with this dagumb ankle injury. This week will be chaotic as well as I go in for surgery on Thursday.
This episode is advocating for advocacy for yourself, others & community. I use examples from my own experiences and the efforts of friends.
I'm still out of the studio and this episode is in two locations: 1. The hospital, and 2. My couch.

So, the FriDALY BRIEFing wasn't on time. What had happened was...I had a day!!!
2024 Veterans Intel Trailer & Episode Into
I am back after a little holiday season break. Yesterday, I spent a good deal of time branding, including making this little video clip that will serve as a trailer for the show and also be part of the intro.
I ran it by a couple of confidants, took their feedback, and made some tweaks. Of course, it features the new logo with a "CLASSIFIED" stamp.
For those who have tuned in, does this represent the show? If you haven't tuned in, does this intrigue you to the point where you might check it out?

VetIntel: Change Lives - Save Lives
I'm wearing Grunt Style for my SUPERHERO Tee! :) It's appropriate for this episode!
There was an event this past weekend in San Diego American Legion District 22. SAN DIEGO AMERICAN LEGION 'BE THE ONE' WEEKEND was a high-profile, suicide prevention awareness, membership, and community resource event. We need more of these across the country!
The American Legion National Commander, Daniel Seehafer was there and challenged all of us to live up to the idea that we are here to Change Lives and Save Lives. You can hear him and then hear my takeaways in this episode.
Event organizer Vic Martin also spoke of how no organization can do it alone, so this episode also features one of the resource organizations, Workshops for Warriors.

VetIntel: Army/Navy + The Rock + Tuberville Caves + Toys for Tots
VetIntel 05December2023 Show Notes:
VetIntel: Sports
* Army/Navy – Go Navy: Army-Navy
Preview: Army Enters Rivalry Game Looking To Flip Script (nesn.com)
This game feels like it means so much more for Army, though.
There’s an obvious reason for that, as the Black Knights can take outright control of the Commander In Chief’s Trophy with
a victory over the Middies. In entering this contest without six wins, though, both Army and Navy failed to capture bowl eligibility this season. That means this will be the final game for seniors on both sides, with Army’s class having the chance to become just the third with a winning record in this rivalry since
2000.
Navy has been dominant in this rivalry throughout
the 21st century, but Army could completely flip that narrative with a victory Saturday.

VetIntel: The Rock Helping Military With Recruitment?
The Pentagon thinks The Rock can fight lagging military recruitment (taskandpurpose.com)
” Yes, really. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, one of the biggest movie stars currently and the man who once helped break the news of SEAL Team 6’s successful killing of Osama bin Laden (again: yes, really), stopped by the halls of the Pentagon this
week as part of a wider trip to the area. He talked with military and government leaders about several topics, including how to combat poor military recruitment numbers. ”

DalyDose of Veterans Intel: 2 Stories - 1 Mission. Continued Veteran Service
Do veterans stop being heroes when they leave the service? I have two stories that both illustrate that some veterans keep that ethos in honorable ways under dangerous situations. The rest of us can also be heroes. * We can be part of the grassroots veteran voice: www.legion.org/action. * We can donate blood. * We can get together and clean a community park. I propose that we become Community Heroes by learning CPR/First Aid/AED + Mental Health First Aid + Basic Self Defense. Who better than veterans to train and then act on that training when the need arises? You can find the stories that I talk about (and many that I don't have time to talk about) on my Flipboard page! https://flipboard.com/@dalydose2013/dalydose-of-veterans-intel-o8t4alt6z
