How long or where they served need to know their benefits. Why is this not a top priority? I am not military. I am, however, very appreciative and there needs to be information available..maybe even required when discharged. My dad was a Marine in the Pacific in WWII..n then he joined the Air Force during Vietnam Nam and flew supplies .. he was able to open an air conditioning n heating school thanks to his benefits. So.. let’s give em what they deserve.
