Veterans Affairs and Issues

Veterans Affairs and Issues have to do with anything that concerns veterans of the armed service. Many benefits are provided to the veterans of the armed services and when new legislation is proposed, questions about the effects on benefits to veterans are common. This is the place to ask those, and other questions about benefits to veterans.

List military nuclear testing areas in S Florida?

Actors killed in world war 2?

To start with are easy ones like Ernie Pyle, Carole Lombard, and Glenn Miller, as well as ones who are better-known today like Ann Frank, the Dutch priest Titus Brandsma, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Sister Teresa Benedicta (Edith Stein). Determining which deaths are war-related and which are not may not always be easy; it has been difficult for the current writer to find information about major cultural figures in the UK and Europe who died as a result of air-raids or enemy action (some, like the elderly composer Emil Reznicek in Berlin, and the young Anton Webern in Vienna, died in the difficult conditions after the war's end). Famous people often had the financial mobility, property and connections that allowed them to seek a safe environment, though for whole regions this option became universally inaccessible, so there must be many deaths of the famous people of the early 20th century that happened in the War, and most of the world has forgotten. The level of destruction in London, Germany as a whole, Poland, the Baltic States, Italy, and the eastern Soviet Union was positively epic--and then there were the concentration camps. How's about some help on this from other history mavens?

Did Obama abandon proposal to require veterans to carry health insurance?

Yes, the idea was abandoned. The idea was to allow the VA to charge veterans' health insurance policies for all medical care, not just for care other-than for service-connected conditions.

At it stands presently, VA medical care to veterans not given for service-connected conditions can be charged back to the veteran's health insurance if it exists. Of course, treatment at VA facilities for conditions directly resulting from military service are never charged to the veteran or insurance program.

Why cant you write Christmas cards to the servicemen and servicewomen at Walter Reed Hospital?

From http://www.wramc.amedd.army.mil/Lists/WRNews/DispForm.aspx?Id=25&

Walter Reed Army Medical Center officials want to remind those individuals who want to show their appreciation through mail to include packages, letters, and holiday cards addressed to 'Any Wounded Soldier' or 'A Recovering American Soldier' that Walter Reed cannot accept these packages in support of the decision by then Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Transportation Policy in 2001. This decision was made to ensure the safety and well being of patients and staff at medical centers throughout the Department of Defense. In addition, the U.S. Postal Service is no longer accepting "Any Service Member" or "A Recovering American Soldier" letters or packages. Mail to "Any Service Member" that is deposited into a collection box will not be delivered. Instead of sending an "Any Wounded Soldier" letter or package to Walter Reed, please consider making a donation to one of the more than 300 nonprofit organizations dedicated to helping our troops and their families listed on the "America Supports You" website, www.americasupportsyou.mil Other organizations that offer means of showing your support for our troops or assist wounded servicemembers and their families include: http://www.usocares.org/

Walter Reed Army Medical Center will continue to receive process and deliver all mail that is addressed to a specific individual. As Walter Reed continues to enhance the medical care and processes for our returning service members, it must also must keep our patients and staff members safe while following Department of Defense policy. The outpouring of encouragement from the general public, corporate America and civic groups throughout the past year has been incredible. Our Warriors in Transition are amazed at the thanks and support they receive from their countrymen.

If you get a general discharge from the military how hard is it to get your life back on track?

How much does it matter "how hard it is"? either you are going to get "on track" or you are going to accept defeat and settle for second, third or fourth best. Good Luck whatever you decide.

As long as you sit your mind on bettering yourself and achieveing great goals then that is exactly what you will accomplish! You are in control of your life and whatever you make of it is your choice. Keep your head up and maintain a positive attitude, by shooting for the moon and you will end up hanging with the stars.

If you're talking about how hard would it be to get a jobthen not hard at all...most employers don't ask or care about what type of discharge you had unless it's a government job.
