file for a non-service-connected disability, or a non-service connected under the homeless act, make show you list all of your depends, this is a disability or payment that you can receive right-away; besides the benefit you can have in going back to school, as well as, your wife is also able to get paid under this non-service-connected disability if she goes back to school.
As our history shows us where men and women of war ended up on some street corner, holding up a sign! Life isn't what you make of it, for those like myself that have served this country doing the Vietnam Conflict, as it was label. Veterans have been turned up side down, coming home to nothing! I have never forgotten the fellow soliders that lost their life in the line of duty. Just like myself, the miltary started me out at a young age, I was only 18 years old, when my country call on me to serve.However, now that I am no longer useful as a solider, my country has left me behind with nothing but remembers of a real bad dream.
What can one expect of Men and Women who do not realize that paying taxes is what keeps our country moving, such as buses, city workers, police, firemen and firewomen, as well as street cleaners,labor worker to build new roads highways, bridges, teachers to teach your kids. How can we not see the benefits of paying taxes out weights the benefit if we don't. People wake-up, when the taxes are paid, this country can really move.
Unemployment is something that we as a people know that this should be aproved up in Congress. When there is no oversight like having the government to keep in its sights on the con's that are being played on the people each and everyday like the Wall Street crash! Without the government laws, there will be another Wall Street take over/ crash where the rich gets to rob the middle class again. Just look at the fee's you pay on your credit cards, you borrow $10,000.00 dollars and owe back $25,000.00 dollars! People wake up the rich is getting richer and the middle class is getting poorer, yet we have a congress that don't feel right unstill we give the rich another tax cut;
I refused to give to the poor, because if we as a hold start paying our fair share of taxes, there would be programs for the people who are really in need. We should be doing everything we can to stop putting the same old faces back in office, to steal more and more of the tax payer money! To them you are nothing but a big joke, this is why the rich spends millions of dollars to get into office at a young age, and stay until they are 90 years old!

Veterans gave-up a lot to served this country, yet they are only rewarded doing war time, after the war they are forgotten about. These are young brave men and women that has put their life on hold to forefill their duty to country with honor! However, there are so many homeless veterans that have yet to made it back from the war within their mind. I know like so many veterans that suffer's from PTSD, that we are still living back within a war zone! I was one of those veterans who missused drugs and alcohol for the better part of my life. I am like so many who came home to nothing, no crowds thanking you for your service! "Like Today" I came back from "Hell", the country called it the Viet-Nam war, within my mind, or what is left of my mind relived events never seen before, they just now put a handle or gave what I am suffering from is "PTSD". This disease was unknown until the 80's, veteran's back then was mostly drug related, and alcohol related leaving us no other course but to go down the wrong road in life without any kind of help from the government that sent us in harms way. Now, who is going to take responseability for the crimnal record I received on behalf of serving my country? Yes; I did break the law, however, doing this period of time, there was no treatment for veterans, they called it shell-shock, and told us there was no help for us! The government did not step in until late within my mess-up life! They should forgive veterans that suffered from this disease without any help that is now here for veterans who suffers from being within a Combat zone, for many years; there are many veterans that are wearing these same shoes, who need help from other veterans to stand by our side and say this was wrong for the government not to give those who need it the most a break with their crinmal recorder being cleared up if they deserved it by doing all that required of them within the law of this country;
