OFF THE WIRE
General Vallely,
I read with disappointment that you are holding your golf tournament at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, CA.
Pechanga has treated veterans shabbily at their resort, just this past Veteran's Day:

In addition, they have defiled the civil rights of my own veteran father, MSGT. Felipe Cuevas, a bronze medal recipient and career enlisted man as well as many of his veteran relatives, you can read about him and the veteran's Pechanga has scrubbed from their site:

Pechanga is a venue that should be avoided by veterans, not used as a conduit to advance your cause. While I understand the lateness would make it impossible, expressing your concern to Pechanga officials over their treatment of veterans could help draw attention. Simply telling them that you lost some customers because of how they treated their veterans, could be enough.
Sincerely,
Rick Cuevas
