A special reading is facilitated by the interdisciplinary team and the patient is thanked for their service, on behalf of a grateful nation.

However, since we have not attended since pre-Covid, we will have a table at which DoD items including the lapel pins will be available for anyone who has not yet received them. I asked on the website if there is a database where you can check to see if Colonel Morman A McDaniel had already received the Honor Certificate and pin as a former POW. I have not received an answer. If you know that he has not been a recipient, please expidite the answer - so it can be arranged for me to present it to him at this coffee.

This was an informal presentation which ended up with a surprise presentation. I had been in contact with a Vietnam veteran Jim Tolly and we set up the presentation to give him, his wife who served during the Vietnam era, his twin brother who served in Vietnam and his wife who also served during the Vietnam era. Ends up that Jim and his wife already received the VVLPs at the Austin VA Clinic. In the process, Jim told me that two of their friends who were coming shortly were spouses of deceased Vietnam veterans. We waited until they arrived so that I could present both of the widows with the VVLPs. So, I technically presented 2 VVLPs to Vietnam veterans and 2 VVLPs to Surviving Spouses.
