what doc?

"It is cold and we have no blankets.

The little children are freezing to death.

My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death.

I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find.

Maybe I shall find them among the dead.

Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad.

From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."

Hey CM Burns,

Was it being passed out by VAMC staff? Was it being passed out in certain clinics or waiting areas? I have an appointment this week at the VAMC, so I will be on the lookout for it.

Did the paper you receive look like the ones attached to the initial posts within these topics shown below?

These have caused a bit of uproar recently because what is shown in HR4667 (http://www.govtrack....?bill=h111-4667) doesn't match what was on the posted scanned documents. Basically, HR4667 ties VA COLA increases to Social Security increases. From what we have seen in the news, the CPI has not risen and it looks like there will be no increase again.

We have yet to confirm the source which is distributing the info about the near-doubling of VA disability monthly payments, which is shown in the other two topics..

This legislation appears to put any COLA or such increases into lockstep with Social Security. Possibly current law does not link them directly,
