Announcements

Comrades, today on National Vietnam Day VFW Post 8164 expresses our gratitude to Vietnam Veterans for their service, valor and sacrifice. This day is close to my heart. While serving in the Army, I saw many Soldiers return broken from Vietnam. Many did not know what to expect as they stepped off that freedom bird. The American public didn't understand their sacrifices and these hero's often did not receive the homecoming they so rightly deserved. 
 
To all Vietnam Veterans, WELCOM HOME!!! Thank you for your distinguished service. It was a privilege to have served with you. To those who served and have served, thank you for your service. 
 
Post 8164 Commander
Vinnie Oliva

Holyoke Veterans Home Criminal Case: Settled

Criminal case against Bennett Walsh, the former superintendent of the Veterans’ Home in Holyoke, and Dr. David Clinton, the home’s former medical director, were facing five counts of criminal neglect after the Massachusetts’ highest court overruled a lower court judge last year and reinstated the charges. Yesterday Hampden Superior Court Judge Edward J. McDonough accepted their request that each charge be continued without a finding for a three-month probationary period — a plea in which they acknowledge facts in the case could result in a guilty verdict on each count.
