What would life be like with out veterans?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Life without veterans would be vastly different and potentially challenging. Veterans have played a crucial role in defending and protecting countries, ensuring safety and security. Without their service and sacrifice, there could be a lack of expertise in military operations, decreased support for those in need, and diminished appreciation for the freedoms we enjoy. Additionally, there may be a greater burden on society to handle national defense and security issues.

Can retired military collect Georgia unemployment insurance?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Only if you don't tell them about your retirement. I retired Jan 2010 and immediately went to work FT. After 7 months, I was laid off without notice. I applied for unemployment and stated honestly that I receive a military retirement. I am a man of integrity and had no desire to falsify information that could come back to haunt me or even be charged with a crime since it is illegal to falsify information when applying for unemployment.

I was told that I did not qualify for unemployment benefits becaus I receive a military retirement. In short, in the state of Georgia, retired veterans will never be eligible for unemployment benefits because our retirement is more than the benefit. What is being lost in all this is that the state requires every employer to pay into the unemployment system for their workers. This means that the state of Georgia gets to keep the money paid by my employer because I can never qualify for unemployment benefits. This is outrageous! I guess my 24 years of service wasn't enough, they now want my unemployment benefits as well. Just their way of saying "Thanks for your service".

If you receive military pension can you collect unemployment in Florida?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I think only the military member can collect his unemployment benefits. However, if you guys have consolidated incomes then it may be possible for you to do it. Another option, if you need some extra $$, would be to have your spouse apply for a super-low-rate military loan. Lots of companies, such as militaryloans.com, give out plenty of these so you shouldn't have a problem finding any.

Why are veterans left homeless?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For the same reason's other people are homeless. The rule is this: if a person has a specific personality before that individual went into the service...that person may still have that personality when the individual leaves the service; but that personality be expand or regress...based upon the life experiences of that particular individual.

Only a truly "shell-shocked" man, who was perfectly normal before he went in (to the service), may be mentally influenced after the war...to become homeless. And in such an event, the VA is there to help him. During the Vietnam "era" it WAS the Veteran's Administration Hospital's policy to NEVER turn down a veteran.

Veterans Day is celebrated on what date?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Veterans Day is celebrated in the month of November on the 11th day.

November 11, or what has come to be known as Veterans Day, was originally designated as a US legal holiday to honor Armistice Day - the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In a Congressional bill passed in 1938, November 11 was "dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as Armistice Day." As such, this new legal holiday honored World War I veterans. In 1954, the name was changed to Veterans Day, honoring all who served honorably in the armed forces.

It is observed as Armistice Day in New Zealand, France, Belgium, and Serbia, and as Remembrance Day (also Poppy Day) in countries of the British Commonwealth.

The term VETERAN denotes someone that has performed service as a member of the military. It does not denote a COMBAT veteran.

Asked by Wiki User

Veterans Day came to be when WW1 ended, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918. At first Veterans Day was called Armstice Day. This day was reserved to acknowledge the courage and the patriotism of the United States who have fought for our country. It wasn't until May 13, 1938 that the law was adopted to make Armstice Day a federal and national holiday for November 11th of each year.

Why should you be thankful for veterans?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

One of the reasons why it is important to be thankful for veterans is that these people are willing to put their lives on the line. They go to war zones and are willing to face danger and death. They have no intention to gain any fame. They do it so that the country people get peace and live with peace. Joining the military is a voluntary act and cant be forced on anyone. Also, these soldiers leave behind all wealth, family and friends and go to sacrifice their lives. Sometimes you never get to hear from them and they never get an opportunity to see their family. Yet they make this sacrifice. So it is important that the people of the country honor their veterans.

What year was the first Veterans Day celebrated?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day because the armistice ending the hostilities of World War I took effect at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year 1918 French time. (This date was not the official end of WWI as many people think. That happened on June 28, 1919 with the signing of the Treaty of Versialles.) Armistice Day was first observed on November 11, 1919, one year later! In 1954 the holiday was renamed as Veterans Day.
