Autumn leaves and Halloween bring reminders of the pain of living with Agent Orange exposure.

From Jodi Vasquez AUSA President

AUSA Fremont Chapter Las Vegas

I’m reaching out on behalf of a fellow Army recruiter who recently retired after an incredible 26 years of service. He has extensive recruiting experience with the 6th Brigade here in Las Vegas and is now looking to transition into the civilian workforce.

If you know of a company that is hiring, or someone who may be able to connect him with a good opportunity, please consider reaching out or sharing this message with your network.

Contact:

Please feel free to forward this to anyone in your network who may be able to help. Let’s take care of one of our own and help him find his next great opportunity! 🇺🇸

Thank you all for supporting our military and veteran community!

America 250 Challenge coins are unique tokens given to individuals as a way to recognize their membership in a group of patriots who voluntarily donated to a fund to acquire, install, and maintain a permanent memorial at the Southern Nevada Veterans Cemetery Memorial Garden. They serve as a thank-you to honor their outstanding achievement in this fundraising effort.
These coins act as tangible symbols of camaraderie and pride, awarded to those who show remarkable willingness, leadership, or steadfast dedication to America's valued principles. Each coin features its own special design, capturing the values and spirit of the community it represents, making it not just a token but a cherished keepsake of honor and achievement.
Yesterday, June 27, 2026, due to the diligent efforts of our historian, Gary Parriott, the monument was delivered, installed, and unveiled at the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery memorial garden.
There will be a formal dedication later this year after this soft unveiling. The conflict with the Department of Nevada convention made it impossible to hold a formal Dedication before Independence Day.
If you are at the Cemetery, stop and see this monument to our first patriots, the Minute Man, and Molly Pritcher.
Fundraising needs to continue to cover expenses incurred.
