“As we express our gratitude,

we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words,

but to live by them.”

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

“Welcome Home”....“Thank You for Your Service”. It seems that we actually

hear those words more often than ever before; and they are spoken with sincerity by folks of all ages. We

see larger numbers of people attend Veterans Day and Memorial Day programs to show their appreciation

and support. Other expressions of appreciation range from buying a veteran’s meal, gas, or tickets to

social events, to helping with household chores or projects; there is no “right or wrong” way to say

thanks! I believe I can speak for all veterans when I say we deeply appreciate your recognition.

Veterans, your courage, dedication, achievements and sacrifices will be honored by VFW Post 10380 on

Friday, November 11, 2016, 11:00 a.m. at Green Township Veterans Park at the Veterans Day

Ceremony. All veterans, families, friends and neighbors are invited to attend.

Also, as Veterans Day approaches, we receive requests for individuals to speak at local schools and

events. These speaking engagements allow us to fulfill our VFW Mission and Core Values to promote

patriotism, serve our community, and promote a positive image of the VFW.

As you may know, Kroger has changed their policy for allowing the VFW to

distribute poppies on Buddy Poppy Day, which was historically held on Memorial

Day weekend. Our Post has been assigned November 11th and 12th this year (yes, it’s

on Veterans Day and the day after) from 10:00—2:00 at the Dent Kroger store on

Harrison Avenue. We are in need of volunteers for both days. If you are

available to volunteer a few hours, please call Ed Murphy 513.376.6833. This is a

very important way to share with the community our mission to serve veterans.

In closing this month of appreciation, we celebrate Thanksgiving. Over the years, our families add their

customs to the Thanksgiving celebration, teaching the young through stories retold,

pictures, sentimental knick-knacks, even the prayer of Thanksgiving before the

meal. Enjoy the family legacy of Thanksgiving that you’ve built!

David Kreuter Memorial Fund

Sgt. David Kreuter, U.S. Marine Corps, was killed in action on August 3, 2005 in Iraq; he

was one of fourteen Marines (five from the Cincinnati area) killed in an IED explosion.

These Marines were from 3/25 Lima Company, a storied unit of the Marine Reserves.

David believed very strongly in a good education as a strong foundation for life, and in the

value of freedom of choice. This Fund recognizes and encourages those achievements and

beliefs. Some funds are used to recognize Veterans and Military Personnel for their service.

Your support will help bring scholarship help to deserving students, and recognition and rewards to many others.

CONSUMER INFORMATION

COMPUTER SECURITY

Scammers, hackers, and identity thieves are looking to steal your personal information – and your money.

But there are steps you can take to protect yourself, like keeping your computer software up-to-date and

giving out your personal information only when you have a good reason.

Use Security Software That Updates Automatically The bad guys constantly develop new ways to attack your computer, so your security software must be up-to-date to protect against

the latest threats. Most security software can update automatically; set yours to do so. You can find free security software from

well-known companies. Also, set your operating system and web browser to update automatically.

If you let your operating system, web browser, or security software get out-of-date, criminals could sneak their bad programs –

malware – onto your computer and use it to secretly break into other computers, send spam, or spy on your online activities. There

are steps you can take to detect and get rid of malware.

Don’t buy security software in response to unexpected pop-up messages or emails, especially messages that claim to have scanned

your computer and found malware. Scammers send messages like these to try to get you to buy worthless software, or worse, to

“break and enter” your computer.

Treat Your Personal Information Like Cash Don’t hand it out to just anyone. Your Social Security number, credit card numbers, and bank and utility account numbers can be

used to steal your money or open new accounts in your name. So every time you are asked for your personal information – whether

in a web form, an email, a text, or a phone message – think about whether you can really trust the request. In an effort to steal your

information, scammers will do everything they can to appear trustworthy. Learn more about scammers who phish for your personal

information.

Check Out Companies to Find out Who You’re Really Dealing With When you’re online, a little research can save you a lot of money. If you see an ad or an offer that looks good to you, take a moment

to check out the company behind it. Type the company or product name into your favorite search engine with terms like “review,”

“complaint,” or “scam.” If you find bad reviews, you’ll have to decide if the offer is worth the risk. If you can’t find contact

information for the company, take your business elsewhere. Don’t assume that an ad you see on a reputable site is trustworthy. The

fact that a site features an ad for another site doesn’t mean that it endorses the advertised site, or is even familiar with it.

Give Personal Information Over Encrypted Websites Only If you’re shopping or banking online, stick to sites that use encryption to protect your information as it travels from your computer

to their server. To determine if a website is encrypted, look for https at the beginning of the web address (the “s” is for secure).

Some websites use encryption only on the sign-in page, but if any part of your session isn’t encrypted, the entire account could be

vulnerable. Look for https on every page of the site you’re on, not just where you sign in.

Protect Your Passwords Here are a few principles for creating strong passwords and keeping them safe:

The longer the password, the tougher it is to crack. Use at least 10 characters; 12 is ideal for most home users

Mix letters, numbers, and special characters. Try to be unpredictable – don’t use your name, birthdate, or common words

Don’t use the same password for many accounts. If it’s stolen from you – or from one of the companies with which you do

business – it can be used to take over all your accounts

Don’t share passwords on the phone, in texts or by email. Legitimate companies will not send you messages asking for your

password. If you get such a message, it’s probably a scam

Keep your passwords in a secure place, out of plain sight

Back Up Your Files No system is completely secure. Copy important files onto a removable disc or an external hard drive, and store it in a safe place. If

your computer is compromised, you’ll still have access to your files.

My Experience by Bob Abrams, Post 10380 Comrade

On September 20, 2016, I had the privilege of serving as a guardian on the

Honor Flight. My WWII veteran was Ronald Philpot who is 88 years old. Each

veteran is assigned a guardian who spends the day with the Vet and takes care

of any needs he may have. We were divided into three groups (approximately

55 in each group) with a medic assigned to each group.

Participating in this program was one of the greatest experiences of my life. We met at the Greater Cincinnati

Airport at 5:30 a.m. where I was introduced to my WWII Vet. As soon as I saw Ron, I knew this was going to

be a special day for both of us.

Before we left there was a ceremony to honor the Veterans going on the flight, including a flag folding. I could

not believe how many people were there to see us off. The group consisted of WWII, Korean and Vietnam Vets. There were 42 Vets

going in wheelchairs; many chose wheelchairs because of the amount of walking that is required to see all of the memorials.

We flew out on an American Airlines charter jet. There were approximately 160 people on the flight: 71 Veterans, 71 guardians and

the balance were staff and medics. Everything was so well done it is hard to put into words. Even the gateway was decorated with

military commemoration on the walls. As we taxied along the runway, the ground crews saluted us and two fire trucks conducted a

water cannon salute over the plane.

The flight to Washington was only about an hour and by the time we finished breakfast we were arriving. We were greeted in D.C.

by another Honor Flight crew who welcomed us and escorted us to our three charter buses. Each bus was also assigned an active

military member. Our bus had a commander from the US Navy. He also pointed out various sites to us as we travelled. I then noticed

that we would be escorted all day by police and motor cycle escorts. We did not stop for a red light or stop signs the entire day!

We visited the following memorials and at each stop the public treated us as heroes. They could not have be more welcoming.

Iwo Jima—This is so inspiring and well done.

Arlington National Cemetery– We ar r ived for the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier . This was

one of the most moving ceremonies I have ever seen.

Air Force Memorial—We had lunch on a bluff overlooking the city.

We then took a bus tour around the city of Washington, D.C.

WWII Memorial—I could not believe the size of this historic memorial.

Korean Memorial—This was so realistic that you felt like you were on patrol.

Vietnam Memorial— It was hear tbreaking to see 58,193 names on the Vietnam Wall. Many were from my company….

Later we had a great dinner before heading back to the airport to return home. On the flight home I reminisced about the day and

how much we had seen. All of the memorials are special and I know each veteran who served found his/her memorial to be some-

thing he/she will never forget. I also thought about what a great job the Honor Flight volunteers had done. I really did not think they

could have made this trip any better.

It turned out I was wrong about how this trip could have been better. When we arrived home, we were greeted to thunderous

applause by over 500 people, along with dignitaries, our VFW Post 10380 Color Guard and other members from our Post!

My Recommendation....

I want to encourage all members of our Post 10380 and all veterans to take advantage of this wonderful trip. All WWII, Korean and

Vietnam veterans are eligible. There is no cost for the veteran. The application process is simple and several of our Post comrades

can provide and assist you in completing the form. I, personally, would be happy to help. Next year there will be five dates for

Honor Flights, so now is an excellent time to complete an application. Flight dates will be published in January 2017. Applications

can be found on the website, www.honorflighttristate.org, or by calling the Hotline at 513.277.9626. Visit the website for Honor

Flight details.

Another essential part of the trip were the Guardians. Generally speaking, the Guardian should be under 65 years old and in good

health. There are exceptions ( yours truly for example). The Guardian pays his own way ( $450). While not necessary, it’s nice if the

veteran can sign up with a guardian he knows. If not, a guardian will be assigned to each veteran going the Honor Flight.

One final note. I know some of you are up in age and feel the trip may be too much for you. However, every accommodation will be

made for you to participate and enjoy this trip. We had some WWII veterans that were closing in on 100 years of age. I highly

recommend all veterans who are able should make this trip. It was an honor to participate. Bob Abrams

Exposures by Wars and Operations

V OLU ME 28, ISS UE 10 , NOV EM B ER 201 6 Page 8

Public Health

Fuels (Petroleum, Oils, Lubricants) Some Service members may have been exposed to fuels, such as diesel and JP-8, used to operate vehicles in

deployment settings.

Possible health effects depend on how they were exposed (skin, oral, or breathing), length of time exposed,

and personal factors such as age, gender, genetic traits, and diet.

Symptoms of exposure to fuels Health effects may include irritation to unprotected skin, eye and upper respiratory irritation, fatigue, breathing difficulty,

headaches, dizziness, and sleep disturbances. Drinking fuels is dangerous and may result in convulsions, coma and even death.

Scientific research on long-term effects is not conclusive. However, if an individual is exposed to large amounts of fuel for a long

period of time, research shows there is a potential for health effects, such as lung and heart problems.

Biphenyls (PCBs) Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are manufactured organic chemicals that are no longer produced in the United

States, but are still in the environment and can cause health problems. PCBs do not easily break down and may

remain in the air, water and soil for long periods of time. Products made before 1977 that may contain PCBs

include old fluorescent lighting fixtures and electrical devices containing PCB capacitors, and old microscope and

hydraulic oils. PCBs also are common contaminants in fish.

Exposure to PCBs

Veterans at risk for PCB exposure during military service are those who, before 1977, worked on repair and maintenance of PCB

transformers, capacitors, and conduits. Other ways of exposure to PCBs include eating contaminated food (a major source is fish

caught in contaminated lakes or rivers); breathing air near hazardous waste sites, and drinking contaminated water.

Health problems associated with exposure to PCBs

The most common health problems for people exposed to large amounts of PCBs are skin conditions such as acne and rashes.

Studies in exposed workers have shown changes in blood and urine that may indicate liver damage. Learn more about PCBs and

health effects from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.

Each month, we will explore an exposure in greater detail. To research additional information on a particular exposure,

or different wars/operations, visit the website www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/wars-operations/oef.

Operation Enduring Freedom Exposures (October 7, 2001—present)

Vibration

Veterans who worked with machinery on a regular basis during military service may been exposed to:

Hand-arm vibration from using power hand tools

Whole-body vibration from operating heavy equipment such as trucks, helicopters, and ships

Health problems associated with vibration exposure

Vibration can affect the body in various ways:

Continuous exposure may cause serious damage to the body

Regular exposure to hand-arm vibration may cause Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome. Symptoms include tingling, numbness, and

pain in the fingers and hands

Regular exposure to whole body vibration may cause low back pain.

Learn more about vibration exposure and its health effects from the Naval Safety Center.

Occupational Hazards Veterans may have been exposed to the hazards listed below based on their military occupation.

V OLU ME 28, ISS UE 10 , NOV EM B ER 201 6 Page 9

Exposures by Wars and Operations

Noise Exposure Veterans may have been exposed to harmful noise during military service in combat, training, and general job

duties. Noise can come from gunfire, explosives, rockets, heavy weapons, jets and aircraft, and machinery.

Health problems related to noise

High-intensity noise and vibration can cause or contribute to hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing in the ears). The

Health and Medicine Division (HMD) (formally known as the Institute of Medicine) of the National Academy of Sciences,

Engineering, and Medicine published a 2005 report, Noise and Military Service: Implications for Hearing Loss and Tinnitus.

If you are concerned about any of these health concerns/injuries related to military services, talk to your health

care provider or VA Environmental Health Coordinator, Janie Thompson, Cincinnati VA Medical Center,

513.475.6973, (Janie.Thompson3@va.gov) Source: www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/fuels;

Compensation Benefits for Health Problems

Veterans may file a claim for disability compensation for health problems they believe are related to these injuries

during service. VA decides these claims on a case-by-case basis. File a claim online:

Operation Enduring Freedom Exposures (October 7, 2001—present)

CARC Paint

CARC (Chemical Agent Resistant Coating) is a paint used on military vehicles to make metal surfaces highly

resistant to corrosion and penetration of chemical agents. Inhaling CARC during the painting and drying process

can be harmful. Dry CARC poses no hazards, except during welding or sanding.

Gulf War Veterans who painted combat vehicles and equipment during their military service may have been exposed to CARC

paint or fumes without adequate respiratory protection. Other Veterans who painted tanks, armored personnel carriers, and other

motor pool equipment may have been exposed. Some civilian units and support units may have been exposed.

Learn more about exposure to CARC paint from the Deployment Health Clinical Center.

Health problems associated with CARC paint

Paint fumes present the most potential risk to users especially when CARC is spray painted, rather than applied with a brush or

roller. CARC paint contains several chemical compounds that can be hazardous when inhaled or exposed to the skin:

Isocyanyte (HDI) – Highly irritating to skin and respiratory system. High concentrations can cause: itching and reddening of

skin; burning sensation in throat and nose and watering of the eyes; and cough, shortness of breath, pain during respiration,

increased sputum production, and chest tightness

Solvents – Inhaling high concentrations can cause coughing, shortness of breath, watery eyes, and respiratory problems,

including asthma

Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) – High levels released during the drying process can cause kidney damage

To assist you in filing a claim, contact one of the

following Veterans Service Officers directly:
