Even though COVID-19 has placed travel restrictions, and I'm recovering from back surgery, I was able to participate in this Council meeting today via the Zoom platform. That's what the VFW is all about. Things might make "the usual" unattainable, but we work through it and get the job done for Veterans!
It was great being able to see old friends and listen to the reports on how the state is doing. More importantly, I picked up on the vibe that everyone is ready to go and do great things. Congrats to Commander Laurie and the other officers who pulled together as a team to make this meeting successful.
Zooming into a meeting does have its issues. I wasn't aware I was on a really big screen. While I was looking down at my phone and texting to work out technical problems with the feed, it certainly did look like I was sleeping. Many thanks to all of you in the meeting who were texting me to tell me to wake up...every time I replied I compounded the idea that I was sleeping!! Hmmm, maybe I WAS sleeping. But I was texting and that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Good luck in this coming year Illinois! As our Commander in Chief says, it's a 20/20 Vision for Veterans!
