Jackson and President Trump state unequivocally that the Administration will not pursue an agenda to privatize the VA in anyway shape or form; We hosted a panel on the issues and our campaign at the Labor Notes Conference; And we’ve gotten press coverage in a handful of great outlets. But we still have our work cut out for us.
With all the turmoil resulting from Secretary Shulkin’s dismissal and Trump’s overt plans to privatize the VA, now is the time to get organized. Join the fight to save the VA. RSVP today to join us at our Veteran & Community Meeting.

Italian American Veterans Museum
is proud to present
“Toppling a Dictator: Boots on the Ground in Panama”
Presented by former Army Ranger Salvatore “Sammy” DiTusa
3 p.m. • Sunday, June 5, 2022
Italian American Veterans Museum
Third Floor • Office Center • Casa Italia
3800 Division St. • Stone Park
On Dec. 17, 1989, President George H. W. Bush gave “Operation Just Cause” the
green light, setting the invasion of Panama in motion. The goal was to capture
Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega and restore democracy. A scant three days
later, the lead element of the invasion parachuted into the Panamanian sky at 1 a.m.,
in the U.S. military’s first combat night jump since World War II.
Among those parachuting in was Specialist Salvatore “Sammy” DiTusa, a member
of the U.S. Army’s 2/75 Rangers. In those pre-dawn hours, the Rangers and several
other elite military units knocked out radar installations, secured several critical
objects and paved the way for the almost 26,000 U.S. troops to follow. On June 5,
DiTusa will offer a blow-by-blow account of a dictatorship’s end.
The museum will be open at 2 p.m., with light refreshments served. Admission is
free, but donations are welcome. Seating is limited, and reservations are a must.
Call 708-338-0690 and leave your name, phone number and the number of people in
your party.
