U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Official Website
Today is the day that our country has set aside to remember the men and women who have served in peace and war, to those who are still serving today, and to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Today’s Family First site looks at one that all veterans may be interested in.
The site is the Department of Veterans Affairs, the official site of this government agency. Here is a great place for any veteran of any service to find information about their rights and benefits that are theirs. There is information here about disabled, homeless, minority, and women veterans, as well as vocational rehabilitation and employment services. This department has recently been elevated to Cabinet level status, recognizing the sacrifices Americans have made for their country.
Take some time today to remember relatives and friends who have served and are still serving. It is through their efforts that this truly is the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Thank you for posting that site. This country is so divided right now, but the ones that pay the most when that happens are the troops.

Why is there no pension fund set up for the US Merchant Marine that served in WW2,Korea,Viet Nam and the Gulf waters during hostilities? They were volunteers and suffered severe casualties. They have got nothing for their service since the revolutionary war to keep America Free.
