Welcome to the 70 percent club.

Re: Veteran Issues
 

Thanks Chris and Eddie. I still am not convinced that I am deserving for something's that happened nearly 48 years ago and 58 thousand of my brothers are not here to get the same benefit... maybe some day I will figure that out

Re: Veteran Issues
 

I am sorting out issues with heavy metal poisoning but I wasn't exposed since I got out or before I came in. And I know that there are others that got ionized that are more deserving. But if this cuts my life short who takes care of my family? Think of it a gift from a grateful nation.

Re: Veteran Issues
 

I am so glad to see that many of you have received the benefits you so deserve. On June 12th my husband, Gary, had a kidney removed and a tumor removed from the femoral artery that has left him with limited use of his right leg. In total they removed 4 tumors from the abdomen in a 8 1/2 hour surgery. All these are related to Agent Orange exposure. I urge you, if you were boots on ground to file a claim and be examined at your local VA. The information given here is accurate. Thank you gentleman! Gary spent the last 5 weeks in Oakland VA for 2 weeks and 3 at Butler VA for rehabilitation, where I volunteer. He is now at home recuperating.

If any of you should become unable to ever work again because of a service connected disability you can also file with The VA for unemployability benefits. Check with your service officer of your local veteran's organization.

God bless you all, and thank you for your service.

Home Depot in Prescott, AZ does not give Veterans any discounts, but Lowe's in Prescott, AZ does.

Re: Veteran Issues
 

I would talk to the HD store mgr about that----They have a code they scan to apply the discount--some times if the item is on sale they will not give you the discount in addition to the sale price my cashier figures it both ways the sale price or the 10% discount and then goes with what is the better price!!! That's at HD.----- Lowes has given me both the sale price and then an additional 10% regardless of the price--FED387

Also I forgot to mention the veteran MUST BE EITHER retired military or disabled veteran with the proper ID

Re: Veteran Issues
 

We got a real surprise yesterday from the VA. Back 3 1/2 years ago I requested Dad's DD214 and all records. I did that because we were unable to find his at his home. There was no response of any kind. We finally found his discharge papers from both the US Army Air Corp and the Marines. After going round and round we got full disability Jan 2014. Yesterday we got his full military records from the VA. It looks like there is a 3 1/2 year backlog at that office or someone has kick started the process. This kind of attention and action is totally unacceptable. Do you think we would get away with this kind of action if we didn't respond to an IRS request for 3 1/2 years? We would probably already served 3 years in jail or be fined and paying interest for 3 1/2 years. I'm of the opinion that all of our Govt. needs an overhaul. It's time for action and not just investigations or Congressional Hearing.
I'm tired of all the showboating & chest thumping we get from these investigations and hearings. It's time for something to happen that makes real change.
