The Tunnel to Towers Foundation's North Las Vegas Veterans Residences Program will be heard in front of the NLV Planning Commission on October 9th, 2024.

Our program will provide permanent housing and 24/7 comprehensive supportive services to our nation's heroes, directly across the street from the North Las Vegas VA Medical Center.

But we need your help -- we will need all the support we can muster from the veteran community to ensure this Program gets a favorable recommendation from the Planning Commission, and that it is ultimately supported and approved by the NLV City Council.

Your attendance and participation on the 9th, as well as sharing this invitation with any community members or local organizations looking to make a difference in the lives of our veterans, would be extremely valuable and most appreciated!

The meeting details are as follows:

North Las Vegas - City Council Planning Commission Regular Meeting
Date: Wednesday, October 9, 2024
Time: 5:30 PM
Location: City Hall, 2250 Las Vegas Blvd North, North Las Vegas, NV 89030

Thank you in advance for your continued support of this project and we hope to see you on the 9th!

CSAF presents Mackay Trophy to pilot for most meritorious flight of 2022: Gen David Allvin (CSAF) presented Maj Stephen Keck (422 TES/F-15E pilot) with the 2022 Mackay Trophy at Nellis Air Force Base. Keck received this honor for his actions in 2022 while serving as the Defensive Counter-Air Team Lead for the 335th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron during a mission at an undisclosed location. “Major Keck’s inspiring actions reflect exactly what it takes to be a stellar Airman and aviator – ingenuity, tenacity, and audacity,” said Allvin. “Moreover, any time your name is on a trophy alongside the likes of Hap Arnold, Eddie Rickenbacker, and Chuck Yeager, you have done something truly special.”

Members, this recently appeared in Defense One, and I've complained about their political content for some time. The hyperlink goes direct to the New York Times on this piece which I think inappropriate for a defense publication. As such, I have unsubscribed from them. You might consider doing so as well. The real issue here is the President using the term "minor incursion" for the Russians moving into Ukraine, which he has walked back today. You'll see the article spun that into something entirely different.

Another Republican knocking Biden was Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., who voted to overturn the 2020 election along with 146 far-right lawmakers in Congress. "Let's be clear, Mr. President: An invasion of another country is an invasion," Rogers said in a statement later that evening. "There is no such thing as a 'minor incursion' into another country, especially when Russia already occupies large portions of Ukraine."
