I hope I am not dead by the time they expand stipends for caregivers for Vietnam Era vets. I am housebound so maybe I could qualify if I don't die first. None of the men in my family lived beyond 65 except my great, great GF who was a confederate civil war vet. He was too tough to die young. Maybe eating horse meat and dog led to a long life.

Does your spouse qualify for the caregiver stipend?

Unless the politicians who asked us to serve make a radical change we will both be dead before this happens.

No, John, she doesn't. I'm mobile and very grateful that I can still do my own thing. I really feel for those that can't, though. You guys deserve the best and somehow have to fight for every inch.
