RichieCover2 To My Fellow Veterans

My greatest passion is helping other Vietnam Veterans. I work with Vietnam Veterans of America, a great organization that has done wonders for veterans who need and deserve disability. A lot of Veterans do not know all the benefits they are entitled to, so I always have my Vietnam Veterans hat on and look for guys with the same and connect with them.
I have helped many Vietnam Veterans get 100% disability which gives them around $3,850 a month for life tax free. After serving their country, many suffer from PTSD, depression and the effects of Agent Orange.
Property tax in New Jersey and some other states is waived for some combat Veterans. There are Vets who qualify but have difficulty navigating the system. There are a lot of homeless Vietnam Veterans. Many have tried to get help, were turned down and gave up. I learned from my buddy and fellow Vietnam Veteran Frank Mezzadri what is necessary to be included in your application for disability and I pass it on.
