Today I let Cian go to the big indoor water park with his Aunt Heather and Grandmother. And I came home. Now I know you are saying, WTH is the problem with this? Nothing, except these are the same people who kidnapped him 5 years ago.
They have called me twice since I dropped him off and reassured me that he is fine and that they will call me when they get ready to leave t...

Hi, everyone. I am checking in. I hope everyone is all right--though I am sure that each of you need a hug, to know someone cares, there are issues. I do miss all of you...life keeps happenings, changes keep happening, and I always feel like there is a lot to be done...and not enough time to do it all. I have given up doing much of the stuff I tried to do, I usually have s... -

Veterans Information
This community is dedicated to all veterans of armed forces, and the health and life challenges they face.
A veteran (from Latin vetus, meaning "old") is a person who is experienced in a particular area, and is particularly used in Russia and the United States to refer to people in the armed forces. It often refers to retired armed services personnel. A veteran is one who has served in the armed forces and has an honorable discharge; a common misconception is that one had to have either been in combat and/or has retired from active duty to be called a veteran. Because of this widely held misconception, women have often been excluded from this equation. Each state (of the United States) sets specific criteria for state-specific veterans benefits. For federal medical benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals, prior to Sept. 7, 1980 the veteran must have served at least 180 days of active duty, after the above-mentioned date, the veteran must have served at least 24 months. However, if the veteran was medically discharged and receives a VA service-connected disability stipend, the time limits are not applicable.
