AMERICAN LEGION MID WINTER CONFERENCE
Angels for Veterans Director/Founder Sandra Bohle was the Keynote Guest Speaker at the Marriott Hotel in Columbus, Ohio on January 20, 2012
The Grand Ball Room was filled with energetic women. Bohle said that it was a pleasure to speak to like minded women. The women who gathered in Columbus were there for the Mid Winter Conference of the American Legion’s Woman’s Auxiliary. Members and Leaders gathered from across the state of Ohio.
Bohle talked about the purpose, goals and the direction of Angels for Veterans. Bohle stated that a veteran should never have a battle to fight in the country which he or she had gallantly served. It should not be a struggle to survive at home. That our veterans had kept their promises to us and that we need to help keep the promises made to them. Bohle said that we need to step up. We need to be diligent to make sure that we do everything that we can do to make sure that our systems are working. Each veteran is precious.
Bohle spoke about a new and upcoming program. Angels for Veterans up and coming, Dog Program. Angels will be purchasing dogs for veterans who suffer from PTSD. Funds need to be raised to meet the demand. She explained that organizations and individuals can help by sponsoring a dog for a veteran.
Bohle explained that dogs can have a positive and profound effect on veterans with PTSD. They become new Best Buddies. Dogs can hold your secrets, be your comforter in the dark and in the daylight. Dogs earn the title of Man’s Best Friend over and over again. A dog will not judge. It will love unconditionally.
Bohle invited all the women to become part of Angels for Veterans. She suggested that they organize groups in their counties to become busy Angels. She invited them on the wonderful journey ahead. Bohle promised that together they can make a difference in the lives of many veterans.
Bohle explained that donations can be taken at the website through PayPal.
