1. WITH THE TIMELY ASSISTANCE OF CONGRESSMAN DAVID WU
AND SENATOR GORDON SMITH, BOTH OF OREGON'S DELEGATION,
OREGON IS WELL ON THE WAY TO GETTING THE ANY HOSPITALIZED
VETERAN MESSAGING PROGRAM UNDER WAY.
2. OREGON IS FOLLOWING THE LEAD OF MICHIGAN ARMY MARS IN
THIS PROGRAM, AND THIS STATION NOW HAS THE CONTACT INFO
FOR INCOMING MARSGRAMS DIRECTED TO 'ANY VETERAN' OR TO
'ANY HOSPITALIZED VETERAN' FOR OREGON'S 3 VA MEDICAL CTR
COMPLEXES CAN BE ADDRESSED TO THIS STATION VIA THE MTS,

EMAIL, MTS, ETC. WITHIN OREGON. 
3. A LOCAL POC FOR PORTLAND OREGON VAMC HAS ALREADY
STEPPED FORWARD, GLENN LOVE, N7YSS HAS VOLUNTEERED TO
BE THE POC FOR INBOUND MESSAGES FOR PORTLAND.

UP A PROGRAM SIMILAR TO THE ONE IN MICHIGAN, AND SOON IN
OREGON. OTHER SERVICE MARS STATIONS SHOULD CONTACT THE
RESPECTIVE LEADERSHIP TO SEE IF THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN ALSO
AUTHORIZED FOR THEIR SERVICE OF MARS.
