My father passed away and he was a 100% disable vet of the army 23 years. The goverment told my mom that she does not get anything other than the life insurance money he had. She followed my dad around the world for 30 years and was not able to make a career for herself raising three boys. Does anyone know if this is true or not and if not and my mom is entitle to money from the goverment and help or if someone can point me in the right direction i would be really gratefull. He was my moms first and only man she has ever been with and is not doing to well, so there is no way she can go back to work right now and i am working three jobs to support my own wife and two kids as well as her, and pay all of her bills as well. any info would really help. thanks

yes i am very new here. i am trying anything i can think of or wonder into for some direction or advise. and this is def for real. I am killing myself supporting her and my family working 80-90 hours a week. if there is nothing that can be done then so be it, but one thing my dad taught me is you dont stop and no, that just means you have to talk to that persons boss. so in a nut shell i am posting and talking to anyone i can find or think of to see if there is anything that can be done.

awsome profile with your tank. i can remember going to the range with my dad when he was flying cobra's. his commander used to let him take me with to the field to watch the war games. and the m1 was def my favorite to ride in. well the turet was my favorite, but was fun to drive as well. i didnt get much of the tanks and aircraft being in the airforce myself. anyway not to ramble anymore, just wanted to tell you nice page.

Thanks for the compliment.

I started out as a Cobra systems mechanic (AH-1F) in the Army Nat Guard in 93 and went active after ROTC. I loved M1s but am now out of the line units and into Army R&D. Oddly enough, I am more deployable now than I was as a Tanker..... Go figure.

Good luck in getting assistance and do not accept a quick "no" as an answer. Remember, bureaucracy is a thing to be handled with patience, delicacy, and a bulldozer when necessary.
