To My Fellow Vets

[10Turkeys]

Hey Guys, I didn't want to step on Tomgobblers thread Pine Box, but everyone has their time, and maybe there's some of you like myself that has more days behind you than in front. Any way if you have an honorable discharge, Uncle Sam will set aside a plot and headstone for you.

I recently contacted the VA for prior authorization, something you might want to do to save your survivors from doing so. I applied on the VA website in Sept of 25, due to the govt shutdown I received the paperwork yesterday.

Thanks for this @10Turkeys 

A very nice gesture that I'm going to look into for myself.

My uncle is buried in Calverton National Cemetery in NY. He was in the Air Force in WWll and was laid to rest  about 30 years ago. My aunt joined him there in the fall of 2024. She was 99 years old, just a couple of months short of her 100th birthday. Me, one of my brothers and one of my sisters were there to commemorate her and attend the service along with my cousins.

Will look into this for my dad and I.

Why let death change anything?

The honor of serving with some of the the greatest patriots of our time is second only to resting among them for eternity.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for posting.  Not the most cheerful thing to think about, but 100% the right thing to do.
