Scott's View: Military Olympians at Vancouver Winter Games

 Have you been checking out the Winter Olympics in Vancouver? As with so many Olympiads, these games are well represented by those who served our country. My favorite, the bobsled, where all three men's U.S. Olympic bobsled teams -- were piloted by a current or former National Guard member. My favorite is John Napier, who joined the Vermont National Guard to repay his mother for $25,000 in debts, so he can fulfill his bobsled dream. He has also formally requested to be deployed to Afghanistan soon after the games are over. Great kid!

Scott's View: National Guard and Reserve are Welcome Here

 This past week, Lin and I spent some time at Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro, Georgia with some fraternity brothers and their spouses. The golf was fabulous, especially the new Creek course, and it was great to catch up with old buddies. Two of my fraternity brothers reminded me that they had served in the Army National Guard during Vietnam and asked – were they were eligible to join Veterans Advantage? My answer was a resounding "yes!" Veterans Advantage is open to all who serve or have served their country in the military including Active, Veterans, National Guard, Reserve and their families.

The Time George W. Bush, then Presidential Hopeful, Kept his Promise to My Son

 In late autumn last year, my son and Gettysburg College Freshman Parker Higgins spent an active and picturesque weekend afternoon with two friends on the grounds of the Gettysburg battlefield. Skateboarding to the summit of Little Round Top (the high ground of the battlefield overlooking the wheat field where Picket made his ill-fated charge), he thought he had the beautiful view all to himself, when he spotted

Scott's View: New Benefits - Sports and Recreation, Thanks To Major Retailers

 Unless you are out west, where there are still some really tough blizzard conditions, you are starting to catch the first whiffs of spring. With that, we wanted to shift coverage to warm weather conditions. First off, our VetFamily award of the week goes to New York Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira. He’s at the top of his game, and credits his Navy pilot dad and his mom, for instilling him the important values in life, leading to his outspoken stance against steroid use. Hats off to Mark!

Scott's View: Veterans Advantage Board Member Considered for Secretary of the Army

 The press has just reported that Paul "Buddy" Bucha, a Veterans Advantage Advisory Board member, is being considered by the new Administration for the position of Secretary of the Army. I've known Buddy for 25 years. No one is more qualified for this role. A West Point graduate and former Army Captain, Bud is the recipient of our nation’s highest award, the Congressional Medal of Honor. He's also a Veterans Advantage HeroVet (click here to read Paul Bucha profile). A successful businessman and entrepreneur, he has worked tirelessly on Veterans causes for decades and possesses the necessary experience and skills to do the job. We’re rooting for his appointment!
