God bless you all!

If you are able, please consider visiting a cemetery and placing flowers for a veteran where there are none, or go out of your way to help a disabled vet, their widow, widower or children. And be sure get that flag up and be proud of the country that so many have fought and died to preserve for you & I.

Thank you all.]]> admin General Discussion Mon, 31 May 2010 12:14:51 -0400 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?7,97,97#msg-97 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?7,97,97#msg-97

I am now facing extensive medical bills as a result and am wanting to know if there is any way to receive Veterans Administration assistance in covering these expenses.

Being a Veteran, I have earned the benefit but do not know how to obtain hospitalization expense coverage (since the VA Hospital did not - in the evaluation of the emergency medical personnel - have an adequate treatment facility available.

Please Help!

"Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives:
Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy — the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific.

Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleagues delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.

Yesterday, the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya.

Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.

Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam.

Last night, Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands.

Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island.

This morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island.

Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation. As commander in chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph — so help us God.

I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire."]]> admin General Discussion Mon, 07 Dec 2009 18:35:54 -0500 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,81,81#msg-81 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,81,81#msg-81 mlr422 General Discussion Tue, 01 Dec 2009 09:38:51 -0500 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,79,80#msg-80 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,79,80#msg-80 MAY GOD BLESS THEM ON THIS PAST VETERANS DAY............]]> richwalsh General Discussion Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:04:40 -0500 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,79,79#msg-79 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,79,79#msg-79 admin General Discussion Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:56:13 -0500 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,52,78#msg-78 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,52,78#msg-78 richwalsh General Discussion Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:39:01 -0400 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,62,77#msg-77 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,62,77#msg-77 usvet General Discussion Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:19:39 -0400 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,70,76#msg-76 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,70,76#msg-76 usvet General Discussion Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:13:24 -0400 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,51,75#msg-75 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,51,75#msg-75 usvet General Discussion Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:12:35 -0400 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?8,13,74#msg-74 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?8,13,74#msg-74 usvet Private Programs Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:05:32 -0400 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?4,32,73#msg-73 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?4,32,73#msg-73 usvet Federal Programs Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:01:25 -0400 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,71,72#msg-72 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,71,72#msg-72 -------------------------------------------------------

Thanks! I hadn't planned on differentiating, as most programs appear to be be meant for all branches. I'd be more than happy to though, if there is support for it. Anyone aware of programs specifically designed for individual branches?]]> admin General Discussion Fri, 25 Sep 2009 09:12:13 -0400 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,71,71#msg-71 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,71,71#msg-71 Chris General Discussion Fri, 25 Sep 2009 09:04:10 -0400 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,70,70#msg-70 http://veteransprograms.com/read.php?3,70,70#msg-70
