4 Major Financial Incentives for Military Veterans
Military service is a noble profession, as it often entails risking one’s life for the good of countless others.

Our world has been turned on its head; the world's economies are suffering and in every corner of the world health workers are battling to prevent more deaths from happening. The year 2020 has been rather horrendous to say the least. One of places worst affected by Covid-19 has been the United Kingdom with the death toll almost at the 40,000 mark. It is a number that might shock many but could have been so much worse, if it hadn't been for an unsuspected hero.

Buying a home is challenging. Not only do you have to find the right house, but you also have to secure financing to pay for the home in the first place.

For many years of my life I was involved in the local branch of national veterans organization. I joined at a time when there were still active WW1, WW2 and Korea War veterans. I learned a lot while meeting some interesting characters.

Wait, what?!? There are no words to describe the extent to which I’ve battled myself over this topic before ever even allowing myself to *register* it as a legitimate thought.
The Sensitive SurvivorPublished 4 years ago in ServeDo you as a Veteran feel abandoned?
Attitude is the difference-maker. When life takes you down, who do you rely on for support? As stated by John Maxwell, "the remarkable thing is that we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day." I am targeting Veterans today that seem to feel like we are not accepted. True, we cannot change our past. And true, we are square pegs in a round world. We have to embrace our differences and see new possibilities. That doesn't mean that we're going to get along with everyone we interact with.
Rants & Rambles Cafe: Veterans Day Grudge!
We seated ourselves at a booth: a big corner booth. We’re a big family. The waiter passes out our menus then lays eyes upon my father as my mother points out, “My husband is a veteran, sir.”

Bloodshed, gunshots and screams. These words always seem to come to mind when it comes to military and war. However, there are a few important terms that always seem to be overlooked. They would be overlooked because most people think of the most horrid things when it comes to war. The words that most people don’t think of are honor, bravery, and love. These strong, meaningful words show that there is pride in serving for our military.
Teya HooperPublished 5 years ago in ServeRetired Soldier Denied Benefits for Medical Malpractice
Sgt. 1st Class Barbara Ospina, now retired, is paralyzed and kept to a wheelchair all day due to excruciating pain. What has caused such a thing to happen to this soldier, you may ask? Oh, it's quite simple—she had a spinal surgery in 2004 on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and they left her like this; instead of fixing the issue, they made it worse. She claims medical malpractice and now she went to the DVA (or Department of Veteran Affairs), and has requested payment for the suffering she deals with on a daily basis, and for the government to care for her caregiver that cares for her now. The DVA refused to accept her need for a caregiver, and now she has a lawyer and may be suing for her rights as a Veteran.
