We are now at the five-year anniversary of the Iraq War. It’s appropriate that we take time to thank all of you who have served, and to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Their courage and dedication are inspiring. We are deeply grateful for their service. When you see a soldier, sailor, airman, marine, or coastie, be sure to go out of your way to thank them!

Veterans Advantage has chosen to support two great 501c3 causes in 2008. Please join us with your support:

* Bear Hug a U.S. Soldier, which is dedicated to getting a special care package out to all of those out in theater. These packages will be bearing special gifts. We’ll be telling your more about these packages in the coming weeks. Check it out and make a donation today.

* Give an Hour.org: A network of mental health professionals dedicating free therapy time to the troops and families dealing with the war’s aftermath. It’s time well spent, and we are supporting them as well. And if you are a mental health professional, please contact them today and join this important effort.

If you haven’t checked out our increasingly popular Prescription Drug Discount plan, I want to encourage you to do so today. Our online pharmaceutical search tool recently added a pricing index of the most popular medications on one screen. We highlighted just one of them today, which actually represents a 42% savings on pricing listed on the Internet, but there are lots of others that can save you money throughout the year.

Our special RX Travel feature has been very popular as well, a downloadable discount card you can print out whenever you find yourself on the go.

This week we profile John Doman as our TopVet. As a marine and Vietnam Veteran, John has stared over the last 5 years, as the Police Chief in the HBO series “The Wire,” which is wrapping up this month after a successful five-year run. We salute John for his accomplishments and for his determined pursuit of a dream – to become an actor. He will tell you his Marine Corps experience had a lot to do with reaching his goal. You’ll enjoy reading his story.

Finally, a little bookkeeping–As a follow-up to a special Presidential Election poll in our last newsletter, you’ll be interested to know that about half our VA members voted for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to be John McCain’s running mate in the November election. If you haven’t voted in our polls yet, please participate. Our next one comes out in two weeks, be on the lookout for our next e-newsletter.
