VA Aid and Attendance
Benefit
"Aid and Attendance"
is an underutilized special monthly pension benefit offered by the Veterans
Administration
for veterans and surviving spouses who require in-home care or live in
nursing homes.
To qualify, a
veteran (includes the surviving spouse) must have served at least 90 days
of active military
service, one
day of which is during a period of war, and must be discharged under conditions
other than dishonorable.
The veteran's
benefit is $18,234 annually (paid monthly) and increases to $21,615 if
a veteran has one dependent.
The surviving
spouse alone is $11,715 annually.
On
any given night, there may be 200,000 homeless veterans on the streets
of America.
Many
suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, addiction or mental illness.
VA and local service providers are working to help
them
help themselves return to a better life. Here are three inspiring stories
of patience, courage and renewal -- of formerly homeless
veterans
who have turned their lives around and begun their journey on the road
to recovery.
A
series of short video features about veterans' rights and benefits along
with inspiring stories
of
service and sacrifice made by America's men and women in uniform.
A
collection of stories about some of America's most beloved customs and
national symbols.
Topics
include the history of "Taps," the Pledge of Allegiance, gun salutes, the
correct method for displaying and folding
the
American flag and many more. Educators, students and others should find
this collection informative and helpful when
researching
or planning activities for national observances such as Memorial Day, Veterans
Day and Flag Day.

The Articles of the Military Code of Conduct
ARTICLE I:
I am an American,
fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life.
I am prepared
to give my life in their defense.
ARTICLE II:
I will never
surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender
the
members of my
command while they still have the means to resist.
ARTICLE III:
If I am captured
I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every
effort to escape and to aid others to escape.
I will accept
neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
ARTICLE IV:
If I become a
prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will
give no information nor take
part in any action
which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take
command.
If not, I will
obey lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them in every
way.
ARTICLE V:
When questioned,
should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service
number, and date of birth.
I will evade
answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make
no oral or written
statements disloyal
to my country or its allies or harmful to their cause.
ARTICLE VI:
I will never
forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my
actions, and dedicated to the
principles which
made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA.
Yes
it is possible
to obtain a flag for a deceased Veteran even if documentary proof of the
Veterans service is unavailable.
Many families that have experienced difficulty in obtaining a flag for
a deceased Veteran.
Some dont ever
apply for the flag because they dont feel that they will be successful
in obtaining it.
The instructions on the VA application (Form
21-2008) explain that if the applicant is unable to furnish
documentary
proof (such as
a DD214), a statement made by a person of established character and reputation
that he/she personally
knows the deceased
to have been a Veteran will be an acceptable substitute.
Deceased veterans qualified to receive flags are Veterans of Wars, the
Mexican border service, or service after
January 31, 1955,
discharged or released from active duty under honorable conditions, or
discharged from or released
from active duty
in the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard
under honorable conditions after
serving at least
one complete peacetime enlistment before June 27, 1950 or for disability
incurred in the line of duty.
Flags are also
available for service men and women that were in active service at the
time of death if a flag was not
obtainable from
a military or naval establishment in time for the burial.
When widows and survivors of deceased Veterans need assistance obtaining
flags, I hope they will be aware
of this option.
This is something that can really help if official documents are not available.
Doc's Base Camp
"CU CHI VIETNAM" also known as "HELLS HALF
ACRE"
Cu Chi was the Birth place of Ho Chi Minh
and it had over 240 square miles of Tunnel Networks beneath it.
To the Enemy, it was the equivalent of
our Bunker Hill, Valley Forge, a Holy Place and it's a National Historical
Landmark today.
Only 23 miles Northwest of Saigon. It was
surrounded by and only a short distance in any direction from the Fil Hol
Plantation,
Ho Bo Woods, Trang Bang, Tay Ninh, Boi
Loi Woods, Michelin Plantations, Xuan Loc, Katum, French Fort, Cau Ding
Jungle,
Iron Triangle, Parrots Beak, Black Virgin
Mountain, Go Dau Ha, the Fish Hook, Song Be, Trai Ba, Trung Lap, Ben Suc,
Xuan Moi Woods,
Bau Co, Ap Soui Tri, Ghost Town Trail,
Dau Tang, Tri Tam, Tan An, Than Dien Forestry, the Angel Wing, Cambodia
and the rest of "HELL".
Any which way you went out of CU CHI, you
were in "THE DEVIL'S BACK YARD".
