Coalition Committees for Better Understanding
We have three committees within the Coalition, and these
have been established to field information and also keep
veterans aware and updated of certain situations that
c ertain to the respective issue.
First, the committee on Gulf War Illness, chairwoman, Denise
Nichols, RN MAJ USAF RET. is to help Gulf War vets.
The committee for POW/MIA, chairman Larry J. O' Daniel,
Vietnam veteran and former intelligence officer, specifically
entails the updating and source material for the ongoing status
of our POW/MIA still unaccounted for. Larry is an expert in
the field and has written a book "Trails of Deceit"
which further outline this very sad but true situation. Finally,
a committee for counter-terrorism has been established to keep
veterans aware of the situations that arise from the raging
"war on terror." Since our nation has been, and continues
to be at risk, it is most important that we know the dangers
and/or the threats as soon as possible. Chairman of this committee
is the very knowledgable Dr. Teddy Bitner, COL. USA RET., a
veteran of the Gulf War.
