Team Andrews Airmen from medical-related career fields reported to the Cannon House Office Building, Washington DC, in full service dress to meet with U.S. Congressman Mike Thompson Nov. 17.

The meeting was scheduled by Congressman Thompson after he sponsored a U.S. House of Representatives resolution that was passed on Sept. 28 honoring all Airmen who support and perform aeromedical evacuation. Part of House Resolution 1605 "commends the personnel of the Air Force for their commitment to the well-being of all our service men and women."

The export of electronic scrap continues to generate controversy in the eyes of many stakeholders, from electronics manufactures to corporate consumers of electronics to nongovernmental organizations to recyclers themselves. The lack of government oversight in this area has led some electronics recyclers to claim an uneven playing field, as some disreputable players ship nonworking units overseas under the pretext of re-use.

Dear Friends,

Tomorrow we will honor and celebrate the tremendous sacrifices our veterans made for our great country. I hope you will join me by taking some time tomorrow to think about the veterans in your community and thank them for their service.

As dozens of community members and local officials looked on, Congressman Mike Thompson took a large pair of ceremonial scissors and sliced through a blue ribbon strung across the front of the new Veterans Affairs clinic in Clearlake on Wednesday afternoon.

It was a moment, according to Thompson and local leaders, that was more than a decade in the making.

The new clinic, located at at 15145 Lakeshore Drive, Clearlake, will officially open for patient care on Nov. 1.
