Is there anyone in Wichita Kansas?

I need past and present military friends I'm in this funk and I can't seem to shake it. The only time I'm at ease is when I'm around other service members.

SPC Michelle Rehman, I am also in Wichita. I know that there are others on RP that live in the Wichita area, but I never really checked. I have connected with a couple, one being MAJ Patterson, mentioned by MAJ Weiss and another who happened to move back to his home state after retiring from the Air Force (prior service 82nd Airborne). I sent you a Connection request.

I agree with SSG Reilly. Wichita has two VFW posts, 8 American Legion posts, and an AMVETS post. If you don't want to drink, you don't have to. Not all posts have a canteen anyway. Many are nonsmoking. Find a post that fits and get involved. Take part in a committee that interests you, consistent with your schedule. The posts will appreciate your help, and it's a great way to meet new people with similar experiences.

SPC Michelle Rehman, I am coming back to Emporia to p/u my dad from Oklahoma on the 23rd of June. We can meet up for coffee, a later lunch (lupper) or a quick drive knucle rub.
"Hey Tonto, You are not the Lone Ranger there is more of us out there."
Let me know where you would like to meet up at. I think I remember a Chinese Buffet down near I-135 and the KTP.
Talk to you soon?
Tim

The main thing is to be active with an organization, wheather it be a service organization or veteran's volunteer group, I suggest American Legion Post 4 at Murdoc and Waterman. We also need active volunteers with the Kansas Honor Flight to help with sending our Kansas War Era Veterans to visit their war memorials in Washington DC. We need volunteers to help with sending and returning Veterans at Eisenhower Airport. Sending out per scheduled flight on Wednesday's at 4 am and returning on Friday's at 10 am. Contact at http://www.kansashonorflight.org or email me [login to see] .

Ran across yr post from a year ago and am following up to see if you had any success connecting with fellow vets in the Wicthita area. You appeared to get a number of good suggestions and connection requests which I hope at least a few worked out well for you.

Robert Dole VA has Vets that volunteer to help other vets and we always need more help. The guys that volunteer are all vets and a great bunch to work with. Come and join us and there is plenty of vets to visit with including me.

This was a couple years ago, but I want to follow up. How are things going these days?
