Rick, A local ham contacted the Veterans Affairs office in this county.
Several hams in my local area are checking all the suggestions we have received so far, we also have a call in to our local Congressperson. Meanwhile, a ham well known to this group has emailed me privately and offered to cover the costs . We will explore options via veterans groups over the weekend but will take up this generous offer from a digitalradio member , pending review of the arrangements, if no other options are found.

Andy, Did someone tell you that from the American Legion? Contacting the Service Officer is a good suggestion made earlier. We will help ANY veteran as much as we can although in this case there would be legal implications from local government. We along with other veterans organizations provide military honors at funerals. You do not have to be a member of the organization. The American Legion is an organization Chartered by Congress and has certain duties to carry out in support of veterans. Rick, KV9U Member and Officer of my local Post Andrew O'Brien wrote: > Thanks.
