When his heart condition was finally diagnosed they tossed him to the curb.

He couldn't even get a disability claim for a year. Which feels like the government saying hey let's wait and see if he dies

When warriors who actually killed the enemy of our nation are ignored for those that are potentially an enemy... nations fall

Man that sucks.  Sorry about that.  Did he really need the money or was he financially secure?

Personally I think the VA wastes more money figuring out how to say "no" than they would spend if they just gave everyone who served honorably everything they need.

For the year they waited for disability because he couldnt work I had to move back in with my parents at the time so I could pay their bills and mine. Just a crappy situation for a man that prided himself on not only taking care of himself but others.. I only knew he was a green beret in his last months.

EDIT: as a kid I just thought it was normal for an army dad to be gone weeks at a time

It was nice that they had green berets doing the flag ceremony at his funeral at least
