ON A PERSONAL NOTE TO ALL MY FELLOW VETERANS. AS I HAVE JUST ENGAGED IN A FIERCE BATTLE TO RETAIN MY OWN DISABLITY BENEFITS, I AM REMINDED OF HOW SHALLOW AND PETTY THE VA CAN BE. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO USE EVERY AVENUE AVAILABLE TO YOU TO DEFEND WHAT YOU ARE LEGALLY ENTITLED TO. EVEN IF YOU FEEL YOU ARE THE BEST PERSON TO REPRESENT YOURSELF, SEEK HELP! USE THE SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS, OR FELLOW VETERANS THAT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR FIGHTS AGAINST THE VA. DESPITE WHAT ANYONE IN THE REGIONAL OFFICES TELL YOU, THEY ARE MOST LIKELY LOOKING FOR ANY POSSIBLE REASON THAT THEY CAN DENY OR REDUCE YOUR BENEFITS. THE BEST POLICY IS TO HAVE AS MANY SUPPORTERS AS YOU CAN. ANYTHING YOU SUBMIT TO THE VA SHOULD BE DONE BY CERTIFIED MAIL WITH A RETURN RECEIPT OR THROUGH YOUR SERVICE ORGANIZATION THAT GETS A STAMPED COPY. THAT IS THE ONLY TRUE WAY TO PROVE THAT YOU HAVE SUBIMITTED WHAT YOU CLAIM TO HAVE SUBITTED. I RECOMEND GOING ONE STEP FURTHER AND WRITING A SIMPLE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IS IN THE CERTIFIED MAIL ON THE RETURN RECEIPT BEFORE YOU AFFIX IT TO YOUR PACKAGE. THAT WAY THEY MUST ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT THEY ARE RECEIVING AND THEY CANNOT DENY IT IN THE FUTURE. REMEMBER, AS I AM RECOMMENDING THINGS, I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE MAZE THAT IS THE VA AND HAVE CAUGHT ON TO SOME OF THE SCAMS THEY WILL TRY TO PULL, AND TRUST ME THEY WILL! WHILE I SIT HERE AND WRITE THIS TO YOU I AM HOPEFUL THAT THINGS WILL NOT ALWAYS BE THIS WAY! THAT WE AS VETERANS WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE OUR PLIGHT KNOWN AND CHANGES WILL BE FORTHCOMING SOON! WE ALL HOPE FOR A PERFECT SYSTEM, BUT WE CAN'T EXPECT CHANGE IF WE WON'T BE WILLING TO TAKE A STEP AND GET INVOLVED OURSELVES. IF WE BAND TOGETHER THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TURN A DEAF EAR ANY LONGER! LETS MAKE THE VA STAND UP AND TAKE NOTICE OF US AND CREATE A SYSTEM THAT WE CAN TRUELY BE PROUD OF.

****WE ARE SO HAPPY TO REPORT THAT OUR OFFICIAL WEBSITE WILL BE UP AND RUNNING SOON. WE WILL LET EVERYONE KNOW WHEN IT IS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED. OUR WEB ADDRESS IS www.improvevahospitals.org ****Unless you have ever been admitted to or visited most VA hospitals you don't know how desperately they are in need of improvements. I have personally been admited more times than I can count to several different VA hospitals. My goal is to gather a large group of veterans to help me recruit headliners, i.e. singers, comics, etc. The goal is to put on non-profit events. The donations raised would go to the local VA hospitals for helping to update them. Even minor changes such as new tv's, new pajamas, robes, etc. would mean so much to veterans that are hospitalized or have to sit in the hospital for hours just waiting for appointments.Veterans lets join together to help brothers and sisters that are in need of good medical care and surroundings while they are there.VETERANS, PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS FOR YOUR FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ARMS, PAST AND FUTURE.IF WE ALL BAND TOGETHER WE CAN GET CHANGES MADE!
