I am just now becoming aware of these benefits because my own father is very ill. He is both a peacetime and a wartime Veteran and probably will not live much longer with regard to the deals of a Veteran the government will sup ply More than a hag. It will pro vide Money toward he burial and a Headstone. If a Veteran Dies in a veterans administration Hospital the family will receive More Money than if he or she Dies at Home. Also for those who cannot afford a cemetery plot and the Cost of an undertaker different Stales have different provisions. The a has numerous National cemeteries across the country that will provide a plot Tor a Veteran and spouse where space is available also a Small service. They will also take care of the arrangements with the undertaker. Some undertaken Are aware of what the benefits Are and arc More than willing to help the family to obtain every possible Benefit.

Dear Ann Landers my husband and his Brothers have worked for their father All their lives. They had other opportunities to go elsewhere but dad promised the boys one Day the plane would be theirs. He told everyone at our family gatherings that when be reached 55 he would retire and the boys would take Over. Fifty five came and went. Meanwhile dad continued to pile up Money and the boys Are still struggling. Dad s new goal for retirement was 60. The Loyal sons Hung in there. Sixty has come and gone and 65 is fast approaching. Now dad has an Oiler to sell the business. Did All those verbal promises mean anything legally the faithful sons Are now resentful. Dad and mom can t understand Why no one comes to visit anymore.

The practice has been going on for years and i think it a a sure Way to ask for trouble. Do you have tic nerve to print this Reader in Casco wis. A Caruco 1 do not know of one Carrier who was abducted. Ninety Alae percent of be bluing kids an either Ruwan for a a Ken int cml try a Parent after a divorce. Tic Man that they All Lutc been kidnapped by in Gera is cafes explains App Down payment limits the other Day i went with a Friend to inc military clothing store in Fulda. She wanted to buy a pair of shoes for her husband on the deferred payment plan. She was told the minimum to charge is $50. Since the Price of the shoes was $31, she picked out a few More items to total $50. Then she was told there is a 125 Deposit if you have never charged or have not charged in the last few month at the military clothing store. I also am aware of the $200 limit they have so it would stand to reason that everything Over this amount would be Cash. Everyone is also aware that we can t have a Perma nent change of station pcs without Clearing App. The clothing store Billing is on the same App statement As the Exchange. So my question is Why the $25 Deposit at the military clothing store and not the Exchange and Why a s to minimum when the Exchange requires Only $257 this certainly does t sound As though it is geared to Benefit the of.

For Bie of Bent purchases $25 la the minimum charge amount for both types of App accounts. The word s gone out to our App managers to preclude conf Nylon in the future.
