Life is full of excitement and challenges.  Having passed through the Director of the Miramar National Cemetery with full support (review #4), our Request to Donate a Monument went up to the VA District Office in Oakland for its final review and acceptance (review #5).   Except, although accepted as designed, the Director there decided that the VA in Washington DC needed a final approval as well.  Why Not?  Now, the Undersecretary of the VA must give his approval (review #6).  We have no idea of the time period for this to happen, but we are looking for a positive result.  As stated some time ago, monuments do not grow out of the ground by themselves, people must make them happen.  We are Navy Divers and can do anything!  Take a vent, Green Diver.
