Halli~SPARTA~ Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 ap: FT. CAMPBELL, Tenn. - The Senate approved a bill that would give Tennessee $101.4 million to improve military infrastructure. About $80 million of that money will go to Fort Campbell and the rest will go to the Tennessee Air National Guard in Memphis. The bill needs to be signed by President Barack Obama. Fort Campbell will use the money to help construct a Special Operations Battalion Complex. The post will also use $6 million to build an Armed Forces Reserve Center and about a $1 million for a Warrior Rehabilitation and Fitness Center. Here is how the rest Fort Campbell?s money will be split up: ?$3 million for a Special Operations Military Work Dog facility ?$8.6 million for a Health Clinic ?$14.8 million for a Group Headquarters Building ?$14.4 million for the Installation Chapel Center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicSN6 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 All this is needed, no doubt. But check this out too... they have denied the annual adjustment for cost of living for Veteran's Admin claim recipients. Basically, all of the diabled vets get no increase in COLA (cost of living allowance) like thay have for years. http://www.vawatchdog.org/09/nf09/nfmay09/nf051709-1.htm I guess all of that money went to the CEOs on Wall St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
