The Medal of Honor is the United States of America's highest and most prestigious personal military decoration that may be awarded to recognize U.S. military Service members who have distinguished themselves by acts of Valor. We just returned after ten days at Dayton, Ohio where we took all of our grandchildren to visit relatives, friends and military history. Our children paid for it all as an early xmas present to us and their children. One of the highlights was our three-day, yes, three days, visit to the brand new Gold Star Families Memorial Monument at our always beloved National Museum of the U.S. Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. This Review is only for the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument and the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force there. Donated by the Hershel "Woody" Williams Congressional Medal of Honor Education Foundation, Inc., the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument features the traditional shape of a saluting soldier's outline in a representative missing space between two of the granite pieces. Being a Gold Star family member is an Honor no one wants. That's because a Gold Star Family is a family member(s) of a fallen Service member who died while Serving in a time of conflict. The last Sunday of each September is Gold Star Family's Day. A Gold Star Family can display a Gold Star Service Flag for Service members who were killed or died, while Serving in the Armed Forces, from causes other than dishonorable. The number of gold stars on the flag corresponds with the number of individuals who were killed or died. A gold star is placed over the blue star on a Blue Star Service Flag so that the blue forms a border and creates the Gold Star Service Flag. The U.S. Department of Defense issues these flags as well as Gold Star lapel pins to immediate family members of a fallen Service member of the military. These pins are worn by spouses, parents, and children of Service members killed in the line of Duty and contain a gold star on a purple circular background. This Gold Star Families Memorial Monument was reverently created as part of the mission of the Hershel "Woody" Williams Congressional Medal of Honor Education Foundation, Inc., which was established to honor Gold Star Families by building monuments designed by Williams throughout America, scholarships to Gold Star Children, sponsoring outreach programs and events, and educating communities about Gold Star Families and the sacrifice they have endured. Founder Woody Williams enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps during WWII and served in the Battle of Iwo Jima for which he was awarded the Medal of Honor. I forever recognize, honor, respect, and grieve at the sacrifice that all Gold Star Family members make when a husband, wife, father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, niece, nephew, uncle, aunt, girlfriend, boyfriend, classmate, friend, or other loved one dies in military Service to America. A Gold Star Families Memorial Monument is scheduled to be a part of the brand new long overdue desperately needed Northern Nevada State Veterans Home in Sparks, Nevada. The monument is to be located at the entryway so it is the first thing everyone sees upon arrival. The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force is the world's oldest and largest military aviation museum. With free admission and parking, the museum boasts some 360 aerospace vehicles and missiles and thousands of artifacts amid more than 19 acres of indoor exhibit space. Each year some one million visitors from around the world visit the museum that brings history to life and connects the Wright brothers' legacy with today's stealth and precision technology. Numerous U.S. Air Force aircraft are also on loan here from throughout the world through the USAF Heritage Program. All that is why it took us three days to see everything at the monument and the museum.

Feels really dated and run-down here, so this place is due for a face lift. The area is not as well…read moremanicured as I would expect for an AFB. I checked out the DFAC briefly but it felt really dim and sad in there so I left. I would be interested in checking out the other amenities at this base. Security forces at the entrance seem standard.

I checked the Social Security website earlier this year and found that the website was not…read moredisplaying accurate information about the number of points I had earned toward retirement. I went to the Hamilton, OH, Social Security office and sat waiting for hours before I could talk to a person. That person said, "I can see the number you have," told me what it was, and told me that that the website would be fixed within six weeks so I could track them myself. Six weeks later, it wasn't fixed. I went back to the Social Security office AGAIN and waited for hours AGAIN. This time, another person told me that the website would definitely be fixed within two weeks. Well, another two weeks have passed, and guess what? The website still shows I had zero points, which is just plain wrong. Three months later? Still not fixed. Why can't they just make their website work properly? I've already been there nine times and wasted countless hours while they do absolutely nothing to help. To make matters worse, during a phone appointment, a "Ms. Johnson" insulted me. I wrote a complaint to Social Security. I received no acknowledgement and no apology. They did nothing about it, just like they've done nothing to solve my problem. I am not for privatizing Social Security. The billionaires are already stealing from the working class, and we don't need to make it easy for them to steal more. However, there needs to be better oversight. Social Security has bad management. If these so-called "managers" don't want to do their jobs, then they must be replaced.

Gave me incorrect information. It was a completely different experience at the Centerville location as the people that work. There were extremely friendly very fast, very efficient and very accurate with the information on what I needed and got me through the process really quickly and painlessly. Absolute definite five star service

I am writing to share feedback regarding a recent interaction at your facility(CENTERVILLE BMV) My…read moreson was in the process of applying for his Temporary Permit, and we encountered a staff member whose conduct I found to be unprofessional and unhelpful. During the identification verification, we presented his USCIS-approved ID. This is currently in use while his Naturalization Certificate is being processed - a situation that often requires a bit more understanding and patience. When a second form of identification was requested, we offered a recent bank statement. Unfortunately, our attempt to have this document printed is (on their printer as she instructed)at the counter was unsuccessful. The staff member, a young lady with curly hair( her ID was flip-back),then informed us that my son would need to retrieve another address-bearing ID from home. While we fully comprehend and respect the need for proper identification, the manner in which this information was conveyed was notably abrupt and dismissive, creating an unnecessarily stressful atmosphere. Further concerns arose when my son attempted to clarify his preference regarding the organ donor question on his application. His initial query was met with an apparent lack of acknowledgment. When I politely reiterated his question, the staff member responded curtly with, "Let me just finish this!" This interaction, delivered without eye contact, felt very dismissive and demonstrated a clear unwillingness to assist with a simple, yet important, clarification. Adding to our disappointment, when I tried to ask a follow-up question concerning the identification requirements, I was interrupted mid-sentence. This repeated pattern of being cut off and disregarded made effective communication extremely difficult. It is particularly disheartening as this is not an isolated incident; we experienced similar rude and interruptive behavior from the same individual during a previous visit in May. The overall lack of courtesy and professional engagement displayed by this staff member was deeply disappointing. We believe that all individuals undertaking official processes deserve to be treated with respect and patience. I hope this detailed feedback will be utilized to review staff conduct and reinforce the importance of professional customer service, ensuring that future applicants have a more positive and respectful experience.
