Columbia American Legion Cleans Up at Maryland Convention
Columbia American Legion Post 300 received a number of awards at the Department of Maryland American Legion Convention in Ocean City this July. With Vice Commander George Delaney's leadership, they received recognition for:
- 100 Percent Membership among Posts with 151-300 members in the State.
- Best History Book which included a chronological history and photos of Post 300's accomplishments and voluneerism.
- A new Membership Transfer Process for members in the Legion's National Holding Post awaiting transfer to local Posts. George managed to persuade 40 members to transfer to Post 300 in just 3 months while making over 100 "Buddy Check" calls. This is a new award to recognize exceptional achievements in recruiting, retention and transfer of new members. As a result, Delaney was promoted to District 4 Adjutant to serve all Greater Baltimore area Posts and will maintain his Vice Commander position at Post 300.
- Upon returning from the convention, George received the National Commander Vincent J "Jim" Troiola's Membership Excellence "Be the One" incentive pin for achieving 103% of Post 300's 2023 Membership Goal, which actually reached 118% by the time the award was delivered. Veteran Suicide Prevention is Commander Troiola's number one goal.

What started as coffee and conversation at Gilchrist Elder Care and Sunrise Senior Living, has evolved into driving veterans in the Clarksville 4th of July Parade, visiting disabled veterans dressed as Santa Claus, to hosting two van loads of veterans with limited mobility to the post for a BBQ and storytelling in July.

Valiant Women Book Signing and Fundraiser for Veteran and Military Families Monument
More than 350,000 American women served in uniform during World War II. And yet, the stories of these remarkable women remain unknown to most Americans. Lena Andrews helps set the record straight in her comprehensive, groundbreaking new book, VALIANT WOMEN: The Extraordinary American Servicewomen Who Helped Win World War II. Drawing from research at 14 different archival institutions and over a dozen interviews with surviving Veterans and their families, Andrews tells the story of the trailblazing women—from every race, faith and walk of life—at the heart of the Allied strategy that won the war.
Join us for this unique opportunity to learn about their bravery and service and support fundraising efforts for the future Howard County Veterans and Military Families Monument.

Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2022 (Cleland-Dole) - VA is working collaboratively across administrations, offices and other departments to implement the statutory requirements. The law covers a broad range of important areas for Veterans, including access to suicide prevention, VA’s top clinical priority, mental health services, care for aging Veterans, programs for homeless Veterans, access to care and research.
The law expands eligibility for VA hospital care, medical services, and nursing home care for Veterans of World War II, prohibits collection of copayments for the first three mental health care outpatient visits of Veterans in a year and improves VA’s research programs through strengthening our ability to recruit and retain high caliber researchers.
The Cleland-Dole Act requires VA to conduct several grant and pilot programs to learn how VA can improve services.
• A self-scheduling pilot for community care appointments
• Geriatric psychiatry pilot for Veterans in State Veterans Homes (SVH)
• Travel payment pilot for low-income Veterans
• Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) pilot
• Substance Use Disorder Recovery for Homeless Veterans pilot
We look forward to working with you toward the Act implementation and will provide updates about Cleland-Dole Act programs and activities.

PACT Act, a new law that expands health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange and other toxic substances. Since it went into effect last August, more than 700,000 Veterans have applied for PACT Act benefits.
If you haven’t applied yet, there’s good reason not to delay it any longer. Here are five things you should know about the PACT Act:
-
There’s no deadline to apply for PACT Act-related benefits, but if you apply by August 9, 2023, your benefits may be backdated to August 10, 2022 – the day the PACT Act bill was signed into law. If you’re not ready to apply, you can also submit an “intent to file” (VBA-21-0996) by August 9, 2023 and still receive the same effective date.
- Even if you have been denied before, you should reapply. If you served overseas since 1955, there’s a good chance you’re eligible for PACT Act benefits.
- If you are worried that applying for PACT Act benefits will negatively impact your current benefits, the truth is this: you are 32 times more likely to see your benefits increase or stay the same than decrease.
- If you’ve been told you need to pay someone or hire a lawyer to apply for VA benefits, that’s not true. Applying for PACT Act benefits and/or VA health care is free, it’s easy, and you can do it online or by working directly with VA or a Veteran Service Organization.
-
Throughout the month of July, VA is hosting more than 50 VetFest PACT Act events nationwide to help Veterans learn about and apply for PACT Act benefits and VA health care. One of them is the VA Maryland Health Care System’s PACT Act Veterans Claims Clinic & VA Health Care Enrollment Fair to be held at Anne Arundel Community College on July 26.
Don’t delay! Act now to take advantage of the benefits you’ve earned and deserve!
· Veterans can enroll for VA health care by calling 877-222-8387, they can schedule an appointment for claims assistance by contacting the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs at 800-446-4926, ext. 6450, and they can schedule an appointment for a toxic exposure screening by calling 410-642-2411, ext. 26789.

VA Disability Housing Grants - We offer housing grants for Veterans and service members with certain service-connected disabilities so they can buy or change a home to meet their needs and live more independently. Changing a home might involve installing ramps or widening doorways. Find out if you’re eligible for a disability housing grant—and how to apply.
The Experiences and Challenges of America’s Military and Veteran Caregiver Survivors - A just-released report from the Foundation, TAPS, and Red Cross Military and Veteran Caregiver Network that brings greater understanding of the Caregiver to Survivor (C2S) transition.
