This is do speaking from Hollywood and inviting you to stop and listen as we entertain on his to veterans I have a message later on for you veterans but right now it's music and how about three little words. Oh yeah. Oh oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Yeah Buck's. A on. The back. And now it's time for the DO NOW YOU That's me to turn my back to sixty seconds from the good old piano I got a few pointers the Veterans Administration wants me to pass along to you it's about those letters you write to the V.A. about your benefit. Unless you give full information to the V.A. every time you write you mess things up for yourself you and the V.A. Well that's appalling. If you don't help the V.A. by telling them who you are where you live and exactly what it is you want well you make it tough for the V.A. to help you I'm talking about teamwork sure it's OK for the follow on piano to noodle around the Keys and beat out happy harmony but the N.F.L. is in the combo they've got to be in there to everybody doing his share otherwise you'll be hearing some like as you know what a clunker is that's a bad note and it's like that about writing to the V.A. do your share give full information every time you write the room's a simple I'll tell you after this next tune it's a new thing we whipped up it's called Satin Doll we like to play with it. Oh oh. Thank. You. Thank you. Well his the Duke again hey that's me again back to keep that promise I made you I said unless you give full information to the V.A. every time you write you mess things up for yourself I said the rules are simple and here they are always tell the A exactly who you are and exactly what it is you want if you have a C. number put it down in every letter you ever write to the V.A. your seat number is yours and yours alone no other veteran on earth has a right to use your seat number so the minute the V.A. checks the C. number in your letter no question about it that's you if you don't have a C. number it's still easy to help the V.A. to help you do this but down your full name give you up correct address make sure that you give the date of your birth put down your serial number and tell V.A. the branch of the armed forces in which you served do this every time you write the V.A. and you can't go wrong that way you and the V.A. make a perfect team a perfect holiday Well friend you know this is our second visit to here is to veterans and we hope you have enjoyed all things now before we go we'd like to play one of our favorite tunes Let's play a flamingo. The only. Lose. Lose. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.
