To all Members:
At the last members meeting we held our 2011-2012 Officer elections where allincumbents went unchallenged and will graciously serve the Detachmentanother year. I want to personally thank all of those officers and staff for theirtime and effort last year and greatly appreciate them volunteering to return fora second year of service. Also, during that meeting we had a ballot to vote onweather we would like to change the name of our Detachment in honor of adeceased member or Marine. Apparently, our namesake “Intracoastal” stillmeans a lot to our members as they came out to vote and decided to retain thename we have had since the beginning. Overall, it was not a bad idea to testthe waters in unison with other Detachments across the country that haverecently changed their names to honor deceased Warriors from our currentconflicts and the past. “Thank You” again to all of those members who cameout to participate in our voting process.You can now find us on Facebook.com social network under the search name: Marine Corps League IntracoastalDetachment 1058. A big thanks goes out to those members and friends that havealready “Liked” our page. One of our first goals on the network is to gain our own Facebook user address, but we mustfirst obtain a total of (25) Facebook “Likes”. So, when the rest of you FBer’s get the chance, please log on to our pageand kindly hit the “Like” button. Also, thanks to the efforts of our Webmaster, Amy Vulpis, we now have a newlydesigned Detachment web site at

They have always been a great MCL Detachment with their large membership that is very activeand truly dedicated to their cause.

party for the troops at Casey’s Bar and Grill during this year’s Fleet Week and the manager of Casey’s, Diane Schmidt,was asking for a donation to cover the food and drinks for the troops and the Detachment. Corpsman Lonnie Cantorinquired as to how much was spent last year and SVC Egan replied $650.00. $500 for food and drink and $150 in tips.Marine Kevin Bolender then graciously offered to match half of the base cost with a donation of $250. PC NewtSchneider made motion to share the cost with Marine Bolender plus the tip, totaling a cost of $350.00 from theDetachment. PC Ed Johnson seconded the motion and was carried to a unanimous vote, none opposed.
Isle 1st Annual RV Show / MCL Recruiting Exhibit: SVC Scott Egan announced that the Detachment wasscheduled to set-up and operate a recruiting booth at the upcoming Isle RV Show on May 20,21,& 22, 2011. Also, wewill be receiving (2) tickets for a Goodyear Blimp ride to raffle off for a fundraiser to support wounded troops programs.SVC Egan then asked for volunteers to give any amount of time they can to man the booth over the three day period andasked that they sign-up on a shift schedule up at the front table. He also added that all participants must wear somethingMarine Corps orientated, such as Marine hats and shirts and to please bring your own lawn chair to have a place to sit.Open Agenda: Marine Harry Delaney wanted to pass on that he recently returned to the Sandy Ninninger NursingHome in Pembroke Pines to interview some of their Marine residents. During a discussion with the President of theResident Council, a Marine named “Henry”, who explained that there were a few residents at the home that were thereon 100% disability and the State normally takes there entire benefit check each month and disperses back $35.00 cashto the individual for any commissary type expenses, etc. Henry went on to explain that sometimes the little money theygot back form the State was not enough to suffice a whole month and asked if the Detachment would possibly help tohelp offset some these small expenses by periodically donating a small amount of cash, $25 or so, to each of theseindividuals. Marine Delaney further stated that before we decide to distribute these funds, he would first have to checkwith the facility administrator to insure that these individuals would not be gaining an unfair advantage over the other 100or so residents or any other issue that could arise from this activity. PC Newt Schneider replied that the figures couldrun as much as $1500 per year and recommended the need for a fundraiser to cover these cash donations to the Vet’s.
PC Newt Schneider wanted to share that he read an excerpt from the Marine Corps Times that Marine grunts wantspecial consideration in that 0300’s should be the only members of the Marine Corps authorized to wear the Cross RifleInsignia (internationally indicates “Infantry”) with their rank. Mike McCarthy stated, he is a younger Marine and confirmedthat elements of the Marine Corps wanted to make these changes when he was in service 10 years ago.
SVC Scott Egan spoke about doing some recent work with the Dept of Florida MCL and was introduced to MaryHinton, the former Mayor of Jupiter, who has a large waterfront home and property in Martin County where she invitesWounded Warriors, who are coming out of extended military hospital stays, to come with their families and relax for aweekend vacation. During their visit the troops and their families are involved in many fun activities such as going outfishing , jet skiing, kayaking, water sports, etc. During Scott’s visit, Mary Hinton asked if he could do anything to helpher cause as she spends up to $17,000 a weekend, of her own money, to put on these vacations. She said as much as$500 would help to offset some of the expenses incurred for the program. Furthermore, SVC Egan stated that the someof the funds that are expected to be earned at the upcoming RV Show fundraiser, could be used for donating to thiscause. Apparently the organizers of the Isle RV Show would like us to advertise a Wounded Warriors type organizationas benefactors of the Goodyear Blimp Ride ticket drawing. Marine Kevin Bolender recommends that for the RV Showthat we make a poster/banner that will explain the program and encourage people to participate in the raffle or donateto the cause.50/50: For the second meeting in a row, Marine Kevin Bolender won the 50/50 drawing, this time for $95.00 and again,graciously returned all winnings back to the Detachment.Closing Ceremony: The closing prayer was given by Chaplain Bob Powers and the Colors were Retired by Sgt at ArmsBob Coleman.
Commandant Vulpis adjourned the meeting at 2050 hrs.

Shinseki. “I know many Veterans and their Family Caregivers have been waiting anxiously for thisday and I urge them to get their applications in as soon as possible so they can receive the additional support they haveearned.”On May 9, staff in VA’s Office of Care Management and Social Work will open the application process for eligiblepost-9/11 Veterans and Servicemembers to designate their Family Caregivers.Additional services for primary Family Caregivers of eligible post-9/11 Veterans and Servicemembers include a stipend,mental health services, and access to health care insurance, if they are not already entitled to care or services under ahealth care plan. Comprehensive Caregiver training and medical support are other key components of this program. Theprogram builds on the foundation of Caregiver support now provided at VA and reflects what families and clinicians havelong known; that Family Caregivers in a home environment can enhance the health and well-being of Veterans underVA care.Starting May 9th, Veterans may download a copy of the Family Caregiver program application (VA CG 10-10) atwww.caregiver.va.gov. The application enables the Veteran to designate a primary Family Caregiver and secondaryFamily Caregivers if needed. Caregiver Support Coordinators are stationed at every VA medical center and via phoneat 1-877-222 VETS (8387) to assist Veterans and their Family Caregivers with the application process.“Providing support to Family Caregivers who sacrifice so much to allow Veterans to remain at home surrounded by theirloved ones, is very important to us at VA. We offer a range of Caregiver support services including training, counselingand respite care to ensure that our caregivers have the tools and support they need to continue in their care giving role,”said Deborah Amdur, VA’s Chief Consultant for Care Management and Social Work. “We appreciate the patience,support and assistance we have received from Veterans, Veterans Service Organizations, and the greater Caregivercommunity in shaping this program and bringing this new VA program to our wounded warriors and their dedicatedFamily Caregivers.”Caregivers for Veterans of all eras are eligible for respite care, education and training on what it means to be a caregiver,how to best meet the Veteran’s care needs, and the importance of self-care when in a care giving role. The full range ofVA services already provided to Caregivers will continue, and local Caregiver Support Coordinators at each VA medicalcenter are available to assist Family Caregivers in identifying benefits and services they may be eligible for. TheCaregiver Support Coordinators are well versed in VA programs and also have information about other local public,private and non-profit agency support services that are available to support Veterans and their Family Caregivers athome.VA programs for Veterans and their Family Caregivers include:• In-Home and Community Based Care: This includes skilled home health care, homemaker home health aideservices, community adult day health care and Home Based Primary Care.• Respite Care: Designed to relieve the Family Caregiver from the constant challenge of caring for a chronically ill ordisabled Veteran at home, respite services can include in-home care, a short stay in one of VA’s community livingcenters or an environment designed for adult day health care.• Caregiver education and training programs: VA currently provides multiple training opportunities which includepre-discharge care instruction and specialized caregiver programs in multiple severe traumas such as Traumatic BrainInjury (TBI), Spinal Cord Injury/Disorders, and Blind Rehabilitation.

WHO AM I?I was born in Charlottesville, Virginia before the birth of what would come to be called the "airplane", a somewhat unusualoccurrence considering that I am often called the father of vertical envelopment - the use of helicopters in warfare.
I attended the University of Virginia for three years then one a week-long comprehensive competitive examination in 1908,becoming a second lieutenant in 1909. Of course, we will not go into a discussion of my first performance evaluation asa Marine Corps Officer where the Commanding Officer, Commanding Marine Officers School stated "This officer has notshown the he appreciates the responsibilities of his position as an officer, and unless there is a decisive improvement, hisrelations will not be to the advantage of the service. However, my second evaluation was stated to be "Good andtolerable" followed by my third evaluation carried an "Excellent". It was also Marine Corps Schools that I wrote my firstmajor work entitled "Aviation, the Cavalry of the Future".
It is understood by students of Military History that the years between 1900 and the First World War were directed southof the border, Caribbean, the Banana Wars and again to the Far East.
It was in 1927 that I sailed for China where is served as TrainingOfficer for the 3rd Marines at Tientsin, came the tour in Washingtonin 1928.From Washington to Marine Barracks Quantico, then in1925 back in China returning to Headquarters Marine Corps inWashington. I was detached and assigned to the 1st MarineDivision in November 1941, one month prior to the Pearl Harborattack.
With 1st Marines and another promotion in rank I commanded 1stMarines at Guadalcanal then Tulagi, Gavutu, through the SolomonIslands. However, possibly my greatest battle was against GeneralEisenhower and then President Harry S. Truman to save theMarine Corps - but that is another story of long ago.
Eventually, I earned my rest and a place of honor at Arlington National Cemetery and along the way I earned a proudchest full of honors, including the highest for my service to my country - The Home of the Free - The Home of the Brave.

"This Is My Rifle" The Creed of a US MarineThis is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shootstraighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I WILL...
My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of ourburst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. WE WILL HIT...
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learnits weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it
against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and myheart against damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. WE WILL...
Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy.WE ARE THE SAVIORS OF MY LIFE.
So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!

Medal of Honor citation of Major General Alexander Archer Vandegrift(as printed in the official publication "Medal of Honor, 1861-1949, TheNavy", page 271):
"For outstanding and heroic accomplishment above and beyond thecall of duty as Commanding Officer of the FIRST Marine Division in
operations against enemy Japanese forces in the Solomon Islands during theperiod, 7 August to 9 December 1942. With the adverse factors of weather,terrain and disease making his task a difficult and hazardous undertaking, andwith his command eventually including sea, land and air forces of Army, Navyand Marine Corps, Major General Vandegrift achieved marked success incommanding the initial landings of the United States forces in the SolomonIslands and in their subsequent occupation. His tenacity, courage and resource-fulness prevailed against a strong, determined and experienced enemy, and thegallant fighting spirit of the men under his inspiring leadership enabled them towithstand aerial, land and sea bombardment, to surmount all obstacles andleave a disorganized and ravaged enemy. This dangerous but vital mission,accomplished at the constant risk of his life, resulted in securing a valuable basefor further operations of our forces against the enemy, and its successfulcompletion reflects great credit upon Major General Vandegrift, his commandand the United States Naval Service."
