| OHCC LIVING | AUGUST 2020 |27 Since we are not able to travel together presently, we hope you are taking advantage of the many online virtual tours and videos which you can enjoy from the comfort of your home… museums, national parks, gardens, and zoos. Some are truly amazing. It is also delightful to reminisce on all the fabulous trips we have taken together. Our lives have changed dramatically but we are still moving forward. COVID-19 has changed our daily activities. Many of us have taken our previous normal routines for granted. We have been fortunate here in paradise to have mostly sunny days with cool breezes… great for walking, enjoying the outdoors, and the beautiful, colorful surroundings of our community. We miss your smiles, social interaction, and friendship. May you stay safe, healthy, and find enjoyable activities to keep you busy. We are also hoping you will continue to keep in touch with each other. We are looking forward to traveling with you again and having many exciting and interesting adventures. Your Travel Club Board, Judy Harris, Donna Wessel-Graham, Lynn Opelka, Callie Dean, Judy Buoniconti Travel Club Just in case: Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time. Village Vets We continue to communicate with Village Vet members though our Bugle Newsletter. Many veterans may not be aware of the fact that if you were a POW or were a Purple Heart Medal recipient, as of January of this year you are eligible to use the Base Exchanges and Commissaries at military installations. From what I understand, eligible veterans should have a Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC) issued by the Veteran's Administration, in order to access military installations to use these facilities. I would call the pass and badge office of the base before the first time you intend to use the facilities, to make sure you have the correct identification. The commissary sells food at cost plus a small surcharge, making prices much less than retail stores, and well worth the trip. Camp Pendleton also has an easy to reach Base Exchange with an inexpensive barber shop, watch repair and a complete line of products. The U.S. Army Infantry came into being on June 14, 1775 to fight for Independence. There are currently six types of infantry units: Ground Forces, Airborne Infantry, Air Assault Infantry, Army Rangers, Striker Infantry, and Mechanized Armor Infantry. We intend on keeping you informed with our monthly Bugle publication both online and delivered to our members.
