“These truck loads deliver needed items ranging from food, water and blankets to many other kinds of basic products that most people take for granted every day, but for veterans in need these are precious items,” says Raegan Rivers, Chief Administrative Officer of Disabled Veterans National Foundation. “For many of our nation’s veterans who are living in a veterans home or shelter, things like vitamins and daily hygiene products are something they may go without if it were not for aid and support from groups like the Disabled Veterans National Foundation and our generous donors,” says Rivers.

Thanks to the DVNF’s growing supporters and donors, the group is planning a $236,054.48 shipment in goods to a veterans organization serving veterans living in Northern New England.

For the second year running a Christmas message has been read on National television by the Roman Catholic of Cuba, it seems that once an atheist communist government has now become highly interested in Religion. During the broadcast, Cardinal Jaime Ortega expressed his thanks as the Island’s families were able to reunite with their families living in the United States. This came upon as President Barack Obama removed restrictions that forbid any relationship between the Americans and Cubans.

The complete message was aired on Cuba’s government controlled television. A spokesperson for Havana’s Conference of Bishops, Orlando Marquez confirmed that the authorities had planned to show a Christmas concert that took place at the National Cathedral.

The best thing happened to a retired 67 year old mother Elisa Ramos. She was totally ecstatic as this was the first time in 12 years she was going to see her son again.

After Jaime Ortega’s broadcast, there have been some growing signs of some improvement between the relationship of the government and the church.

A year ago, President Raul Castro surprisingly united with many believers of faith for the beatification of Friar Jose Olallo Valdes in the city of Camaguey.

Castro’s brother Raul took over as president earlier in 2008. His first political meeting was with Pope Benedict XVI’s secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone. This took place whilst Tarcisio Bertone was marking the 10th Anniversary of Pope John Paul II’s visit in Cuba.

Since the power of presidency to Fidel Castro in 1959, religion was not totally ruled out however priests were expelled and religious establishments were closed down. In the early 1990′s, the tension reduced and the government removed any reference to atheism from its organization and allowed believers of all faiths to join the Communist Party. The situation improved later in the year when they had a visit from Pope John Paul II.
