BVA Bulletin

Welcome to the online version of the Summer 2007 BVA Bulletin. An archive of previous issues extending three years back is also available. For information or entries in issues prior to 2006, contact Stuart Nelson at BVA National Headquarters, 800-669-7079, Ext. 3316.

BVA’s year-old initiative Operation Peer Support soared to unprecedented heights at the Association’s 62nd National Convention. In the August 16 photo, OIF/OEF servicemen and Christina Hitchcock prepare for a 10,000-foot dive in skies overlooking the Great Southwest. The amazing feat and other highlights of the convention week are included in this issue of the Bulletin. Left to right, OIF serviceman Glenn Minney, Skydiving Instructor Kelly Wilson, OEF veteran Steve Beres, Instructor Adam Buckner, OIF serviceman Mike Jernigan, and Convention Coordinator Christina Hitchcock.
