Veteran's benefits are being eroded
October 3, 2008 · Updated 1:52 AM
The Veterans Administration has deleted another service which
you earned by serving your country.
When you go to the Veterans Administration to apply for your
earned benefits, it will not be an easy task. That is because the friendly
assistance needed to complete your application forms will no longer be available
to you. The reasoning for this, of course, the lack of funding to cover the
cost of said service. But, veterans, you need to remember that the Congress of
the United States of America is supposed to be providing those needed funds.
The American Legion has filed suit against the Veterans Administration
for this last action, but we all know how long a lawsuit can be tied up in court.
The rights and benefits for veterans are gradually being done
away with. The American Legion can stop this gradual erosion of benefits, but
we need your help. We need to have five or six million members
nationwide instead of 2.8 million.
Help us win. Join the American Legion.
