     Department Veterans Service Information Officer Bob Wonnell was at a VFW Information Booth outside Cabella’s in Kansas City last weekend.  The booth beside our information boot was  Bob Hoss Dodge.  The car dealer was giving away hats to anyone who bought a raffle ticket to support the VFW.  Well being a resourceful kinda guy our VSIO asked Bob Hoss if he would donate some hats for the hats Veterans in the Missouri Veterans home in Warrensburg.  At the end of the show Bob Hoss donated two dozen hats which Bob delivered to  the homes Director of Volunteer Services Jan Smith and Administrator of the Warrensburg Veterans Home , Eric Endsley.  The Veterans are always needing hats and they were immediately put into service.
