Veterans Affairs and Issues

You may as long as: 1. You were Honorably discharged. 2. You are not using the your status or uniform to promote a political cause/candidate.

Veterans are honored in many ways. They have monuments and museums, school performances, holidays, and they have the Cave of the Unknown in Washington DC. It has soldiers that they found but couldn't identify. Hope I helped!!! :)

They should have free health system accessibility and stabil support from the state. Thanx for the sacrifice!

Your Roblox Account Should Be 1 Year old

Depending on the cause of injury. If it is found that you had a preexisting condition, and you have been on Active Duty for less than 180 days, you will be administratively separated. If Government service caused your ailment, you may be eligible for benefits.

A veteran is someone who served in the armed forces. They can easily die before the end of the war.

Your service record or discharge papers are usually enough.

Actually, neither is correct! The US government has stated that the official name of the holiday is Veterans Day, without any apostrophe. The word "Veteran" is used in its plural form, not in any possessive form.

For any discharge of Honorable or General Under Honorable Conditions the answer is Yes. And in SOME CASES Less Than or Other Than Honorable you can as well.

It can take anywhere from a month to a year for the VA to decide disability. This all depends on what the disability it is and how much.

Most states require that you report all income, though like Social Security, GI Bill income would probably be exempt. To be on the safe side, you should make the state aware that you get it and let them determine if it is reportable.

The GI Bill is nontaxable income and if you're smart, you'll "NOT" report it to your unemployment office. Not reporting your GI Bill to unemployment does not brake any laws. How ever, when it comes to the subject of attending school while on unemployment, every state differs.

The address of the National Afghanistan And Iraq Veterans Memorial Inc is: 20 Skidmore Ct, Towson, MD 21204-2604

It would depend on where you served. An example is If you were discharged in 1961 and served in Korea between June 30, 1949, until discharged; or earned Hostile Fire or Imminent Danger Pay eligibility. Those people in the armed forces of the United States shall become eligible for membership immediately upon arrival on hostile soil, in hostile waters or the airspace above in the performance of service.

Check this link for "A Brief History of the VA": http://www.va.gov/facmgt/historic/brief_va_history.asp It gives the date of July 21, 1930, for founding of the VA to consolidate all veterans' programs.

I WAS STATIONED AT CAMP HOWZE FROM APRIL 64 - APRIL 65. AT THAT TIME CAMP HOWZE WAS HEADQUARTERS AND HEADQUARTERS, 1ST CAVALRY DIVISION. I WAS WITH 15TH ADMIN, A.M.B.....JOE COOPER, PIPE CREEK, TX

You can get a guide at this location if you still need it.

A person who was enlisted in an army (or other military organization, such as a navy or air force) and who fought in a war, is therefore a war veteran. If you happened to get caught up in the fighting in some way but you were not actually a member of an official armed force, then you are just a victim of a war, rather than a veteran of it.

Sawtelle Veterans Home was created in 1888.

Vietnam. "In that crazy damn Vietnam war"--lyrics from the song "I have seen the rain" on Pink's album "I'm Not Dead". Her father wrote it about being in the war, and Pink harmonizes on the track.

No

it is recieved after honorably honoring your contract with the government

For most claims since 1970, the veterans' Social Security Number is the service number. For earlier service, they may require the actual service number (i.s. US12345678, RA23456789, NG98765432, AR5678921, etc.) Best bet is the SSN.

The answer is complicated as it depends on many things, when & where the veteran served, service connected disabilities, current income (for needs based benefits), etc. The best resource to answer this is the VA or by contacting a veterans service organization such as The American Legion, Disabled American Veterans (DAV), or Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) , among others.

First of all veterans don't get anything for free. Veteran's make sacrifices that every day Americans can't understand unless they go though it!! They deserve whatever they need to make them feel like themselves again. Unfortunately most of the government politicians have never served!! And they get treated better then our VETERANS !! So I think our Veterans should get at the least the same health care and benefits as any politicians and their family's get. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

you should have tricare if you are a vet. If you are old enough to get medicare, tricare for life is the insurance that is usually attached. Get online and tricare.com I belive that not all vets have tricare. You receive Tricare benefits if you were retired from the military (either medically or due to time/age). You would have a retired ID card and that is your Tricare medical card as well. If you think you are eligible you can contact tricare by calling 1-800-tricare and you will be directed to the necessary region. I hope that helps. My husband and I were both medically retired/disabled and have tricare insurance. But friends that are considered disabled by the VA only do not get the same benefits. I am basing my response on personal knowledge and experience.

There is not going to be a COLA for 2010. As the current COLA is directly tied to the Social Security COLA, we get zip.
