Wyoming - Do They Care?

As we gathered resource links from various states we found some with great, easy to use and sincere websites for Veterans. When we got to researching the State of Wyoming we were disappointed that we could not locate any Veterans Site at all!

We wrote a letter to the Governor's office and to their credit, we received the following reply today.

Pastor Steve Kreins
 
Thank you for your email message to Governor Freudenthal 
dated October 18. 2010.
 
I'm the Director of the Wyoming Veterans Commission 
and I have been asked to respond to your inquiry.

The Wyoming Veterans Commission does have a web site, 
we have pages on the Wyoming Military Department web site.
 
This is a .mil domain and some browsers and AV packages 
identify it as suspect. I can assure you it is quite secure.
 
Unfortunately, for reasons out of our control, the servers for 
this web site have had troubles with access from none .mil domains.
 
We have IT folks working the issue and should have it 
resolved soon.
 
We are exploring ways to move our web site to a state domain to 
ensure easier access by the public.
 
Thank you for your inquiry and the work you are doing for 
our Veterans.

E-Mail to and from me, in connection with the transaction 
of public business, is subject to the Wyoming Public 
Records Act and may be disclosed to third parties.
 
We appreciate Wyoming's efforts and we ask you to
pray for this State and others who fall somewhat
short of Veteran's Resources. We will continue 
to monitor Wyoming and other States to see if action is 
necessary to motivate every State to better 
Veteran's Assistance Programs.
