BROTHERS IN ARMS

Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to assemble this. Please pass
this on to all Veterans on your e-mail list. Below are web-sites that
provide information on Veterans benefits and how to file/ask for them.
Accordingly, there are many sites that explain how to obtain books,
military/medical records, information and how to appeal a denied claim
with the VA. Please pass this information on to every Veteran you
know. Nearly 100% of this information is free and available for all
veterans, the only catch is: you have to ask for it, because they
won't tell you about a specific benefit unless you ask for it. You
need to know what questions to ask so the right doors open for you and
then be ready to have an advocate who is willing to work with and for
you, stay in the process, and press for your rights and your best
interests.
