    Thanks for serving and welcome home.

    Our local paper continually runs articles about WW 2 veterans and their service to our country. All well and good but I see damn little about the young people getting killed and wounded present day.

    No disrespect to the veterans but I do not understand the disparity of coverage. Surely one is or maybe not as important as the other but dead and wounded mean the same in both instances.

    Your thoughts

    Last week I had my 6 month blood workup
    at the Tulsa VA clinic. While there I noticed
    that I had served with such old men.
    Gray haired, balding, way over weight,
    hearing aids, fake limbs and half blind.
    WAIT-- thats me.

    We had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song
    Like the seasons are all gone"

    I found this on FB today.

    Never seen Tractor Supply offer this before. Active, Retired, AND VETS.

    Need a new grill for the 4th? Fence posts? 10x10 dog kennel?

    Take proof of service. 15% off will cover the tax and then some. [:D]

    Was just reminded of this in another post.



    quote:
    New VA Enrollment Information

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has put forth new regulations for certain Priority Group 8 Veterans. These regulations may allow certain Priority Group 8 Veterans to enroll in the VA health care system, although they may have been denied in the past. Included are Veterans who applied for health care on or after January 1, 2009 but were denied because their household income was higher than VA's income limit. Veterans who fall into the Priority Group 8 may soon qualify if their income does not go over the current VA income limit by more than 10%. This new regulation has taken effect on June 15, 2009. For more information about enrollment and to access a calculator to see if you qualify, visit: www.va.gov/healtheligibility. If you have any questions, please call 1-877-222-VETS (8387).



    So if you were turned down before, time to try again. Today is the day it starts.

    Also this site has some good info, those already covered should use it really good way to renew subscriptions.

    This is well known for the folks that were/are on the CSRS retirement plan. It does not apply to FERS or Military.
