New Military Support Group Being Formed
By Bob Steiner
Recently, a group of veterans, active military personnel, related family members, and other interested citizens from the Estancia Valley have met with the goal of forming an organization to assist members of our military community in areas not presently addressed by other support agencies. As yet unnamed, the group included several Vietnam vets, a representative from New Mexico Veteran’s Affairs, and an 87 year “young” Word War II Infantryman.
Initially, there may only be a few sponsors for the group. Involvement by almost any civic, church, civic, or other veteran’s organizations would ,however, be welcome. Non-veterans and individual citizens are encouraged to participate in the group.
