Dwight, Outback  Steak house is also offering a free drink and appetizer, as 
well. So, if any Beteran wishes to take his spouse out for a Veterans day 
dinner, there are at  least three restraunts that are offering either free 
dinners or free drinks and appetizers, so to my brothers and sisters, enjoy!

Autumn Stationery Header


It?s that time again?the holidays are quickly 
approaching!  This year, give the gift that will 
keep on giving for years to come.

Time is running out to purchase the beautiful 
2009 Louis Braille Bicentennial Silver Dollar, 
the first U.S. coin to feature readable, tactile 
Braille.  This unique commemorative coin 
symbolizes independence, opportunity, and the 
potential of blind individuals to make 
significant contributions to society when they 
are taught to read and write using Braille?but it 
is only available for purchase until December 11, 2009.

We know that Braille is vital to all blind 
individuals, yet today in America only 10 percent 
of blind children are learning to read Braille in 
school. This continues despite the fact that 
studies have shown that 85 percent of all employed blind people read Braille.

A portion of the proceeds from sales of the coin 
will be used to support the National Federation 
of the Blind?s ?Braille Readers are Leaders? 
campaign, a national initiative created to double 
the number of blind children learning Braille by 
2015, improve certification standards for 
teachers of Braille, and conduct innovative 
programs to support Braille literacy.

Go to

or

or call 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468) to give the gift of literacy today!

Subject: Memorial Service For Shifty
?

PLEASE PASS THIS ON

?












?
? 

?
? 







?







?






?






? 







We're hearing a lot today about big splashy memorial services for the likes of a drugged-up, wacked-out entertainer and a cowardly drunk who happened to be a U.S. Senator.

I?would like to propose ?a nationwide memorial service for Darrell "Shifty" Powers. 

Here's why...? 





Shifty volunteered for the airborne in WWII and served with 

Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, part of the 101st Airborne Infantry. If you've seen Band of Brothers on HBO or the?
History Channel , you know Shifty. His character appears in all 10?
episodes, and Shifty himself is interviewed in several of them.?





I met Shifty in the? Philadelphia ?airport several years ago. I didn't?
know who he was at the time. I just saw an elderly gentleman having?
trouble reading his ticket. I offered to help, assured him that he was?
at the right gate, and noticed the "Screaming Eagle," the symbol of?
the 101st Airborne, on his hat.?

Making conversation, I asked him if he'd been in the 101st Airborne?
or if his son was serving. He said quietly that he had been in the?
101st. I thanked him for his service, then asked him when he served,?
and how many jumps he made.?

Quietly and humbly, he said "Well, I guess I signed up in 1941 or so,?
and was in until sometime in 1945 .. . . " at which point my heart?
skipped.?

At that point, again, very humbly, he said "I made the 5 training?
jumps at Toccoa, and then jumped into? Normandy ?. . . . do you know?
where? Normandy ?is?" At this point my heart stopped.?

I told him "yes, I know exactly where? Normandy ?is, and I know what?
D-Day was." At that point he said "I also made a second jump into?
Holland ?, into? Arnhem ?.." I was standing with a genuine war hero . . ... ..?
and then I realized that it was June, just after the anniversary of?
D-Day..?

I asked Shifty if he was on his way back from? France ?, and he said?
"Yes. And it's real sad because, these days, so few of the guys are?
left, and those that are, lots of them can't make the trip." My heart?
was in my throat and I didn't know what to say.?

I helped Shifty get onto the plane and then realized he was back in?
Coach while I was in First Class. I sent the flight attendant back to?
get him and said that I wanted to switch seats. When Shifty came?
forward, I got up out of the seat and told him I wanted him to have?
it, that I'd take his in coach.?

He said "No, son, you enjoy that seat. Just knowing that there are?
still some who remember what we did and who still care is enough to?
make an old man very happy." His eyes were filling up as he said it.?
And mine are brimming up now as I write this.?

Shifty died on?June 17, 2009?after fighting cancer.?



There was no parade.?
No big event in? Staples ? Center ?.?
No wall to wall back to back 24x7 news coverage.?
No weeping fans on television.?
And that's not right.?

Let's give Shifty his own Memorial Service, online, in our own quiet?
way. Please forward this email to everyone you know. Especially to the?
veterans.?

Rest in peace, Shifty.?

Chuck Yeager, MajGen. [ret.]

If  you go to this  web site, _www.LetsSayThanks.com_ 
(http://www.letssaythanks.com/)    you can pick out a thank you card and  Xerox will print it and 
it will be sent to a  soldier that is currently serving  in Iraq.  You 
can't pick out who gets it, but it will go  to a member of the  armed services.



 
 
 
 
 





 
 
 
 
How  AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we  know to send one!!!   
 It is FREE  and it only takes a  second.



 
 
 
 
 





 
 
 
 
Wouldn't  it be wonderful if the soldiers received a  bunch of these?    
Whether you are for or against the  war, our soldiers over there need to know  
we are behind  them.



 
 
 
 
 





 
 
 
 
This  takes just 10 seconds and it's a wonderful  way to say thank you.    
Please take the time and please take  the time to pass it on for others to  
do.  We can never say enough thank  you's. 



 
 
 
 
 





 
 
 
 
Thanks  for taking to time to support our  military!

Subj: Upcoming Change in GSA  Application Process


On December 2, 2009 GSAjobs, GSA's online job application  system, will be 
integrated with the Office of Personnel Management's USAJOBS  web site.  In 
preparation for the integration, all currently listed GSA  vacancies will 
close by 11:59pm (eastern time) November 30, 2009. Please check  the closing 
date of the announcement to which you are applying as it may close  prior to 
this date.  This integration will make it easier and more  efficient for you 
to apply for jobs and manage your on-line applications from  one website. 

The integration with USAJOBS allows applicants  to:

*    View and apply for GSA job openings directly from  the USAJOBS site, 
utilizing their USAJOBS account/login 
information.  
*    Create and store up to five  resumes on-line
*    Create up to ten separate search agents to  receive email 
notifications for new job postings 
*    Track the  status of jobs, for which applications were submitted 
through USAJOBS, in one  central location
*    Self Service for user ID and password  reset

To prepare for this change and familiarize yourself with the new  process, 
you should create an account on USAJOBS (www.usajobs.gov).  If  you have not 
applied for a Federal job using USAJOBS, you will need to create  a new 
account.  Your account will consist of personal information, your  user id and 
password, and at least one Federal resume. If you are already  registered in 
the USAJOBS system there's no need to re-register.   

Please be aware that after December 1, 2009, the information you have  in 
the GSAjobs system, including your resume, will no longer be available for  
you to access. In addition, effective December 2, 2009 new GSA job listings  
will only be posted to the USAJOBS web site as the GSAjobs search page  
(https://jobs1.quickhire.com/scripts/gsa.exe) will no longer be  available.


Tips for the USAJOBS registration process:

Create  an Account
On the USAJOBS website, select the MY USAJOBS option and click  "Create 
Account." You will be prompted to provide contact information,  establish user 
access information and provide citizenship and veterans'  preference 
information. After you enter this information, your new personal  page will be 
created.  From this page, you can choose to create a new  resume or set up email 
notification agents to alert you to new jobs posted to  USAJOBS.

Creating and Storing a Resume
Create and save r?sum?s - (up  to five different versions) specifically 
designed for applying for Federal  jobs.  To add a resume on USAJOBS, use the 
resume builder provided. You  can copy resume information currently stored in 
the GSAjobs system, and add it  to your USAJOBS resume library.  Remember 
to do this before December 1,  2009.  Resumes created on USAJOBS will be 
centrally stored and can be  used to apply for GSA and other Federal jobs that 
accept online applications  from the USAJOBS system. 

Creating a Jobs Search Agent (Email  notification) USAJOBS allows you to 
create up to 10 different search  agents.  These search agents will enable you 
to receive email  notification of new jobs postings that may be of interest 
to you specifically  for GSA occupations, or other factors you select.  
USAJOBS email  notification agent(s) will replace any notification preferences 
you may have  set up in the GSAjobs system.  You can elect to receive these  
notifications on a daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis.  

Applying for jobs
After establishing your USAJOBS account and  creating at least one resume, 
you are ready to apply for a job. You can apply  for most jobs using your 
USAJOBS online r?sum?.  All you have to do is  log on to USAJOBS and follow 
the instructions provided in the vacancy  announcement to complete the 
application process.  Check the "How to  Apply" tab of current vacancy 
announcements for specific instructions for  submitting your application. There you will 
find a list of any additional  forms required and a contact name and phone 
number at the hiring agency. Most  importantly, read the entire announcement 
carefully and follow the  instructions. For more information about the 
USAJOBS application process,  please visit:
