Fellow Veterans and Friends of Veterans:
 
As we know, the ACLU has joined in support of the Annenberg Foundation's report that demands the U.S. Department of Justice and the California Attorney General investigate the VA's breach of fiduciary responsibility to honor the Deed of 1888, which is "to be permanently maintained as a National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers."
 
And we also know that Lauren Bon, board member of the Annenberg Foundation, recently wrote a letter (attached) to Sue Young, executive director of the Veterans Park Conservancy VPC), disassociating their good name from VPC.
 
If that wasn't a very heavy shoe to drop on Ms. Young's prideful mission to build a public park on Veterans land ... well ... another very heavy shoe just dropped. 
 
Ms. Carolina Winston Barrie, the Matriarch for descendants of Arcadia Bandini de Baker, one of the benevolent Land Grantors of the Deed of 1888, recently sent VPC a letter (attached) tendering her resignation as a member of the board of directors of VPC.
 
This is a major force of opposition to Ms. Young's unilateral mission to take Veterans land that was exclusively deeded for a Veterans Home, and converting it into a public park.
 
Veterans are extremely proud of Ms. Barrie's bold and courageous stand as she staunchly defends the patriotic Gift her Great Aunt gave that essentially ensured there never would be a homeless Veteran in Los Angeles.
 
Today, Los Angeles is the nation's capital for homeless Veterans with more than 20,000 dispossessed Veterans who have been exiled from their rightful Home.
 
Veterans also greatly appreciate the tireless mission of Ms. Barrie's cousin, Ricardo Bandini Johnson, who is the spokesperson for the descendant Family. He upholds their mission to protect this land as it was originally deeded.  Ricardo has attended several Sunday Rallies and was a keynote speaker at a press conference we held, defending his Family's Gift for the sole benefit Veterans.
 
There is a rapidly-growing and broad unification of fellow supporters who defend this sacred land for Veterans use only and oppose those who want to take it away. As a result, we are witnessing a rebirth of the National Veterans Home toward and the restoration of its heralded legacy as a safe permanent haven for disabled and disadvantaged Veterans.
 
Thanks to everyone who supports this noble cause on behalf of America's Veterans.
