Hey Adam, I am putting this date in my calendar. I live in Pensacola and would be stoked to be part of this.
As a cold war Marine, I have dealt with a lot of issues with the VA. Smartly refusing SSRIs a few years ago was the right thing to do.
Look forward to meeting you.
Only thing is you are requesting we wear suits. Well, it's going to be July in New Orleans. And well...health-wise, I hope you have some Corpsmen to serve up some IV bags.
Most likely, I will show up with my Camera and shoot the event. I have a professional digital cinema camera. It's a Sony FS5, I got from my VA Chapter 13 benefits. Had to battle them to make them pay for a Full Sail Online education.
I like the idea of handing the VA over to the Vets. And, ending the war on drugs would be a win for all concerned. Except of course Big Pharma!
Thanks for your time.

We thought of that. Hopefully it won't be too hot that early in the morning! We will have first aid support on hand and plenty of water.
Oh, dude! New Orleans in the morning in July will still be hot.
Sent you an eMail about making a feature documentary on all this. Let me know if you are interested.
I echo @fakeinternetnews "oh dude!" I lived in Pensacola for 10 years and went through OCS in the summer there. Believe me, it was already muggy and warm when we mustered for PT at 0530 and by 7 AM when the sun was up and we were going to chow, it was freaking miserable in light PT gear. Marching a couple blocks in washed khakis left us pouring sweat, so I can't begin to imagine a suit, and I don't imagine New Orleans would be any better than Pcola.
