Is the Veterans Administration serving the needs of all veterans who served in our  armed forces.?

I don't think they should have to stop with the non-military  fund raisers,but I do think they don't take care of the veterans like they are supposed to. I know alot of vets that have been treated at veteran hospitals and they did not get the care they needed.My Grandfather and father are fust two of them.I think the veteran hospitals should have the fund raisers but then have someone that will actually put the money back ino the hospital like it should be.

There would not be a MLK day without Veterans. Veterans day and memorial day are taking for granted!!!

consider contacting the Disabled American Veterans, The Shriners or perhaps a local community service agency

I would suggest that you contact a Veteran's Service Officer.\nThere is usually one or more in a city building.\nAlso, check with Veteran Organizations such as the American Legion, VFW, DAV, Amvets, etc usually have someone that assists veteran's with filing for benefits.\nYou can find a local VSO at the VA's website http://www.va.gov/\n\nGood Luck

In the US, check with the Social Security Administration, your Federal & State congressman, county welfare or social service agencies and the Veterans Administration, if you served in the  Military.

Looks like another pyramid scheme or financial scam is making its way around the internet again.\n\nYOU have NOTHING -- only the living veteran has any connection to ANY benefits he or she may have EARNED because of their Military Service.

At this time their are about 1.4 million people who could be considered on active duty.  This number includes ALL of our armed forces.  This does not include reserves, or guard.  That is a mighty small number when you think about our commitments.

By HOPE YEN, Associated Press Writer 5 minutes ago \nWASHINGTON - \nPersonal data, including\nSocial Security numbers of 26.5 million U.S. veterans was stolen from a Veterans Affairs employee this month after he took the information home without authorization, the department said Monday. \nLast year, more than 260,000 veterans could not sign up for services because of cost-cutting. Audits also have shown the agency used misleading accounting methods and lacked documentation to prove its claimed savings."\n\nWell, this administration appears to have issues without having anything stolen.\n\nThose in the service 1975 and after are many military who were in quite a few skirmishes that the government had, including those in Iraq.\n\nI hope they have hard copies somewhere, which they probably don't. Proving a negative is going to be hard for a lot of men who are eligible for benefits. How do you get benefits if you can't prove you are eligible for them? It will be up to the serviceman to prove, Hate to be them.\n\n26.5 MILLION RECORDS from 1975 to present

You cannot do anything that would mean more to a soldier than THANK him or her. That includes ALL VETERANS. Just walk up and say Thank You because if there were no veterans there may not be a you as you know it. As for the disenchanted soldiers... don't just count what this administration has done. There were many, many vets before you.

go to usajobs.opm.gov\nits the federal job site (U.S.). Veterans qualify for hiring preference.

No, it isn't. However, the world is better off without Saddam and should be forking in to help out. \n\nBTW: Reps aren't DENYING or CUTTING VA benies, they simply aren't INCREASING the budget. While I don't agree with this and think that all vets should have TOP-QUALITY (better than congress, imo) care and retirement, it is not right to blame ONLY one side for this. If the libs weren't pushing so many social programs, more money would be free for the vets. Think about THAT next time you complain there isn't enough funding. The money has to come from somewhere.

Have you tried the VA's website? (Veteran's Affairs)

Yes I had already. Active duty and veterans are very important to me year round.  \nThank you for asking the question.  If one person is reminded to do this and thank a veteran, then you have done a great service today.

Call your local VFW hall.  Nothing but veterans in that group and I am sure they would love to help.\n\nCoach
