Thank you so much for taking time out to help our Veterans and their families... Information just like this is just what is needed..
I know that some of us had to actually print out the VA announcements showing that Thailand was being considered... the VSO's were adamant that it wasn't true and they treated us like we were pulling at strings to get a claim honored.
However, I try to always be prepared if I am aware of the information.. I politely took out my copy of the VA announcement that I had already highlighted with a yellow marker.. and just sat back in my chair... No further talk was needed beyond that... smile...
It is always good to be prepared and have as much in solid evidence that you can... You sometimes have to think like an attorney.. and be ready for any rebuttals to any evidence that you submit...
After 3 years .. i got to learn the hardway..
Thank you for taking time to help us... and anyone else here with help.. please do so.. time is always busy ... and our Veterans and their widows are doing without...please don't wait for the next person to help your brothers and sisters.. sometimes if you are not the one helping.. then there is no one...Hugs to all
