As you
know that we will have a new President this coming January. It doesn’t manner
what you think of him it is going to happen.
President Elect Donald J. Trump is going to need a new Secretary of the
Department of Veterans Affairs for the new Congressional Session.
I am
asking every one to please contact President Elect Donald J. Trump and request
that he consider MVA’s Executive Director, Commander John B. Wells, USN
(Retired) as Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs
Below
is some information about Commander Wells.
MVA’s
Executive Director, Commander John B. Wells, USN (Retired) has long been viewed
as the technical expert on Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Issues. A 22 year
veteran of the Navy, Commander Wells served as a Surface Warfare Officer on six
different ships, with over ten years at sea. He possessed a mechanical
engineering sub-specialty, was qualified as a Navigator and for command at sea,
and served as the Chief Engineer on several Navy ships. As Chief Engineer, he
was directly responsible for the water distillation and distribution system. He
is well versed in the science surrounding this bill and is familiar with all
aspects of surface ship operations.
Since
retirement, Commander Wells has become a practicing attorney with an emphasis
on military and veterans law. He is counsel on several pending cases concerning
the Blue Water Navy and has filed amicus curiae briefs in other cases. Since
2010 he has visited over 400 Congressional and Senatorial offices to discuss
the importance of enacting this bill. He is recognized in the veterans
community as the subject matter expert on this matter.
If you would like to support this effort,
please snail mail a letter of support to:

Below
is the proper salutation to use:
Dear
Mr. President Elect Donald J. Trump
John
is in D.C. this week and next visiting with house and senate offices on our
Blue Water Navy Bills and Resolutions.
It is early, but the early bird gets the worm. Once we have an official fax number or email
address, I will provide at that time.
For now written letters should be used.
Will certainly not hurt to then fax or email it when we received that
information. Let us try and get the
attention John needs at this transitional time to get his name on the ballot to
get an interview.
I have
had the pleasure of meeting Commander Wells and I can tell you he is very
dedicated to ALL Veterans. You may have seen his post on some Facebook Pages,
he has a great sense of humor and as I said already very dedicated.
Please
help get Donald J. Trump Transitional Team to notice John. He will be a great
asset to all Veterans.
