NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE SERVICE

1. Navy to Design New GI Bill Software: A navy command center in Charleston, SC, has been chosen to design the new GI Bill software which VA will use to implement its education benefits.  The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) has experience with sophisticated software that can perform some of the complex calculations that are required under the new law.  The benefit rollout is scheduled for Aug. 1, 2009.  The new education benefit will pay full tuition up to the cost of the most expensive four-year public college or university in the state where a service member or veteran attends school.  It also pays a living stipend based on zip code and other fees for the student veteran.  SPAWAR is still awaiting funding from VA in order to begin the initial stage.

Veterans Day Program at College of The Albemarle

Posted at 04:13 PM on Thursday, October 16, 2008 by dist1

  On November 11th, 2008, the College of The Albemarle (Route 17 in Elizabeth City, NC) is pleased to host a special event on Veterans’ Day to honor the service and sacrifice of all those who have served in our Armed Forces.  The program features survivors of the USS INDIANAPOLIS, which was torpedoed and sunk in the final days of World War II.  Survivors of the blast spent five days at sea – unaware that their SOS calls had been ignored.  Please join us to hear the harrowing ordeal of 317 brave men who fought for their lives - battling shark attacks, severe burns, dehydration, starvation, the effects of salt water and dementia.  Learn the story behind the Indianapolis’ secret mission, its dramatic sinking, and the accidental rescue of its survivors.  Hear about the subsequent – and controversial - court-martial of ship’s Captain Charles Butler McCay.  After an exciting multi-media presentation, local crew-member/survivor - Felton Outland of Sunbury, NC - and two of his fellow sailors will share their stories & answer your questions about this tragic event.

Posted at 07:21 AM on Sunday, August 26, 2007 by dist1

  The District 1 meeting was held on Sunday, August 19th was a big success. A GREAT meal was prepared by Ann, Vern, Al & Chuck, nobody in attendance went home hungry!!

Our Department Chaplin John Negus and his wife, Marie were there as our guest speakers and reminded us how important we are and what a great impact we can have on our communities.

Once again our ladies did a superb job setting up the hall, accented with a very nice POW/MIA tribute. Linda Hamil gave a moving speech in remembrance of our American POW's and MIA's.

Thanks goes out to all who attended and helped make it a very successful day!
