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 Veteran’s service is unavailable.

            Many families that have experienced difficulty in obtaining a flag for a deceased Veteran.
“Some don’t ever apply for the flag because they don’t 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".
