Maybe you are not aware of Los Angeles AFB...lol. One base that I "REPORT" to is Fort Lewis. Lt. Milanio reporting to duty at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Due to security, I will not go to specifics about JBLM. Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base combined makes, Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). The two specifics spots that I love going to are the Commissary and the PX or the Post Exchange. Items purchased in the PX are tax free. Yep, another benefit of working and/or living in the base. Just like any other city, there are McDonald's, Burger King, bowling alleys, homes, movie theatres, and banks. You would never notice who are soldiers because they are all in civilian attire. Maybe the person writing this review is a **censored**. All I can say is JBLM is a great place for both soldiers and citizens. Well, I can't say too much here, but I am glad to visit JBLM from time to time. The one thing you will notice at JBLM....No, not the military vehicles, but the view of Mt. Rainier. The open sky of WA meets the U.S. Military Base- JBLM. The Yelp Universe. Where are you traveling today? **End Transmission**

I was a guest here in 2014 and had the most disturbing experience. There first night I was there I…read moremet a young girl (I would say she was in her early 20's) and she was very ill. This was her first visit to jail and, at first I thought she was dope sick (seems like everyone is the first few days in jail, sadly) but then I could tell it was something far more serious. She informed me that she needed her heart medication and they would not listen to her. I even attempted to talk to the officer to let them know what was going on but those attempt's were useless. If you've ever been to jail you know their favorite response to any need you might have is "go fill out a kite" so I showed her how to do this and I'm pretty sure that kite was never even read by the staff before the traffic turn of events. I was in the cell next to here and assured her I would be there if she needed to talk and I would do what I could to help her. During the middle of the night I was woken by the sound of a defibrillator machine. And while they had covered my cell window so I couldn't see out, it didn't take long to figure out what was going on. With tears steaming down my face, I listened to them try to get this girls heart beating for what seemed like forever. They were unsuccessful and this poor girls life was taken and it could have been prevented. I've never witnessed such inhumane treatment in my life. This girl tried to tell the staff members many times and not one of them helped her. It was in the newspaper. A short paragraph telling of a 23 year old woman who died of "natural causes". No, Pierce County, she died from your negligence and it should have never happened. I don't know if her family was ever told what really happened and it's terrifying that the jail was never held accountable. This girl was not a druggie and was not trying to get drugs to get high or something. She was begging for someone to listen to her and give her the heart medication she needed. Not one person there had the human decency to help her.

Just days after being robbed (suspect caught) I got a letter from the CVAN outlining the procedure that was ahead of me, what the robber was being held on, bail amount, my rights, etc. The next day this was followed up with a nice call from Felita P. Luna, the advocate in charge of my case, asking if I had any questions and making it known that she's a resource if I needed it. I may have had some questions about the progress of the case, but Felita promptly mailed all developments me as soon as they happened and I never had to get back in touch. From sentencing to claims, it all arrived in my mailbox in an extremely timely fashion. While I certainly hope that no one is put into the situation where they have to deal with this organization, know that you're in good hands should it happen.

Printing takes approximately .2 seconds of your time and it's great. The only reason this place gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because I have one complaint: I want it to be bigger! Yelm is a growing city and while this isn't some tiny little 3 shelf library (it's actually pretty decently sized) I feel like Yelm deserves a library that doesn't have to share a building area with Casa Mia and other little restaurants and such. It should have a nice big building to itself. I've never run into any issues with the staff and have found them all to be super sweet and helpful. After you've been in a few times they tend to remember you too. It's really, really nice. I love this little library.

We regularly visit Veterans' memorials to pay homage. I stood and cried at The Washington State…read moreVietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Olympia, Washington. For over and over and over I kept hearing young GIs voices. They were softly saying: when you go home, tell them of us and that for your tomorrow, we gave our today. Here is hallowed ground. Hallowed ground that is NOT to be played at or upon. At the Washington State Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, I saw names representing gallant, patriotic and young Washingtonians of every race, gender, creed, color, and background who died or went missing in Viet Nam or Served during Viet Nam. The Washington State Vietnam Veterans, Memorial Wall is some recognition for Patriotic sacrifice in or during Viet Nam. The Washington State Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall is a fitting tribute to Washington's people of Valor in Viet Nam who wrote that blank check of "up to and including my life" when each joined the U.S. Armed Forces, and who then Gave Their All in during Viet Nam when that check was cashed in full by America. The Call to Duty, Honor and Country was answered by these Washingtonians because "it may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a Free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even of his personal services to the defense of it", as so eloquently written by General then First American President George Washington. All Veterans memorials commemorate that the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one's country. The Washington State Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall emotionally, poignantly and deeply reminds us of what General Douglas MacArthur said, that the GI above all others prays for Peace, for it is the GI who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war. The next one to suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war is every GI's family, loved ones and friends. Every taxpayer also bears the cost of war. The Washington State Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall is another compelling reason to remind us just how important it is to understand, believe, support, and practice that the more we sweat in Peace, the less we bleed in war. This Wall is engraved with the names of the more than 1,000 men and women from Washington State who never returned home, and are listed in chronological order from 1963 to 1975, the order in which those GIs gave their lives. A small cross has been engraved next to the names of those who remain Missing in Action (MIA). https://leg.wa.gov/Memorials/Pages/Vietnam.aspx#:~:text=Memorials%20Vietnam%20Veterans'%20Memorial&text=The%20beautiful%20and%20symbolic%20Vietnam,near%20the%20Winged%20Victory%20Monument P.S.
