An act signed into law gives all veterans and Gold Star families free lifetime access to National Parks.
The act was part of the defense authorization bill which was signed into law.
“When you take your oath, if you go into the service, to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, you really are protecting the homeland,” stated the National Park Service’s new director Chuck Sams. “I think this is a great recognition of that responsibility you took on to serve your nation.”
Back in 2020, the Department of Interior announced that veterans and Gold Star families would get free access to national parks and other public lands, but this law makes it permanent.
Many popular destinations, such as the Grand Canyon National Park and Yellowstone National Park, can now be visited by veterans for no cost.
In order to use the benefit veterans will need to present a form of valid identification, which may include:
- DoD ID card
- Veteran Health Identification card
- Veteran ID card
- State-issued card displaying veteran status
Dontknowaboutthemillionsofvetsout there but speakingasa low income disabled vet youd think they give us a stimulus of our own . Also makesuresure we recieved all our stimuluss still waiti g 2 yearsstillwaintto recievemy 1200. Andhelpnewsmall businesses that are vet ownedal helpng hand ..franchise tax bord in ca is bullshit! …just keeping head above water… idmchratherthatthanacessto a fuckin park
I agree a Stimulas would be better. I’am a widow of a Viet Nam Vet. They could get those Park passes years ago, so it’s not new! It’s next to impossible to live on $1,200 a month! Here in Ar we have high prices, on everything now. Plus you have insurance, Car & House, the list goes on. STIMULAS is what we NEED!!!!
To vad most of us vets can’t afford to get to a park. Maybe the government will gives us free rides also. What a fing joke.
Contact one of your local veterans organizations and ask if they can assist you to at least visit the nearest national park see if they can organize I trip to other parks. Contact your state representatives and see if they will do the same for state parks.
I appreciate (very much) this benefit. Regardless of whether or not I (as a military retiree) can afford to Visit or travel to a National Park…I am thankful this Act was signed into law. This is a great benefit; and I am happy knowing that veterans are once again shown that they are appreciated.
I’m so sorry for those who served but I feel it was a privilege to serve my country and I would do it again if I could. Tor those who served and didn’t get any benefits i feel you need to stop complaining and start working for yourself. I’m a veteran and I live in Massachusetts. I filed for disability and on the second try I was given 100% disability. We have 3 VA hospital with in a 1 1/2 hour drive wIth and also from New Hampshire, Maine. Plus Hotels for all veterans who need it. I have had Cancer, and 2 open heart operation, PTSD, diabetes and now Cancer again alone with a lot more things. I take 31 medication a day and I also have a primary care doctor, a RN, psychiatrist, and at least 5 more specialist assigned to me and by the way they all come to my home. I have had this great care for over 15 years now. I don’t think my country or government owes me a thing. I’m very thankful for all I have been given, but I haft to say I did reach out for help and the people at the VA were all to willing to help. Remember most of them are Vererian too. So instead of writing about how bad the Veterans Administration is why don’t you try it and see what it can do for you.
God bless all who have and are Serafing and make the system work for you.
One last thing we are a large group and if we feel this way about our politicians. Then register to vote and put people in office who can make the UNITED STATE of AMERICA 🇺🇸 a strong and proud country again.
God Bless America
Disabled Sgt. W H Bowen 2nd
Godr bless the workers at the Vet. Facilities no complaints from me.
Nice it has worked for you…my husband is a Vet and our VA has caused such harm, misdiagnosis, etc., they have been a nightmare and not just for him! He is dying!! So, nice it has worked out for you, not necessarily in all cases and all facilities. I have fought hard to get the care he needs and deserves from serving! He wanted to go with their care (he is retired, but, also, 100% service connected disability), whereas, we had insurance, we both regret!! Sadly, it is going to cost him his life and all the frustration/missteps they have caused along the way and has taken a major hit on my health and well being!! So, don’t be so quick to dismiss others. A proud Vet here and yes, he deserved the upmost care from the VA!! But, hasn’t received!! Palliative Care is extremely offensive, lack respect!! You are fortunate in your care and that is a blessing. May you continue to overcome and live life to the fullest, as you are deserving, blessings
Note: if you come back from service, do get connected to your VA medical benefits, such as clinics, meds, etc., but, if a major health issue, get your own doctor outside the VA. We have had doctors there say what has happened to him should have never happened!! Even get an attorney! But, an attorney won’t save him. Doctors there say, they can’t do as much as they would like, why there is such a turnover, although, there is money at the top of the food chain, just not being used for the Vet, no surprise when you walk in and see all the broken down souls……
To add, the frontline workers and the reps answering the phone are great, along with technicians, I think the problem lies at least with this VA Clinic with the ones running it!! There should be more oversight into their running it!!! Too dismissive and too political.
Amen to everything you said up to your last sentence. That is if you are talking about putting the likes of trump back into office.
Couldn’t wait to jump on that one . I didn’t really see the opportunity to blame Trump Thanks for pointing it out . The more we can find to pile on ,the better . Because, that’s what will fix it for everyone . Just blame Trump before you or anyone else can take responsibility. So helpful .
Totally Right On..
Might be Cheep Camping?
And Lifetime is ok
Spot on with this write-up, I absolutely believe this site needs far more
attention. I’ll probably be back again to read through more, thanks for the advice!
Be nice if the Feds and States would give outdoors men free fishing and hunting? Like some of our other states do. Seems they’re not as greedy as some states I know.
You can get a lifetime license for fishing at Walmart for 10 dollars
In what state?
It’s hard to come by experienced people for this topic, but you
seem like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks
My partner and I stumbled over here from a
different page and thought I may as well check things out.
I like what I see so i am just following you. Look forward to exploring your web page again.
We want a modest Ten year Mortgane
Either you would need a really large down payment or the house would be really cheap to have a ten-year mortgage. I took out a 15-year mortgage, then I have my payments cut in half and pay every two weeks, plus I give additional money. Hopefully, this will bring my mortgage down to 12 years or less.
That should be easily doable. That formula should bring it down by about 5 years.I didn’t do the math . But twice a month and extra payments work from both ends of the mortgage .
There are other ways to get into a home . That are more flexible . Depends on your financial situation . I mean outside of banking and typical mortgage companies and their products .
all the time i used to read smaller content which also clear their motive,
and that is also happening with this piece of writing which I
am reading at this place.
It’s impressive that you are getting thoughts from
this post as well as from our argument made at this time.
At this moment I am ready to do my breakfast, afterward having my breakfast coming again to read further news.
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit and
sources back to your weblog? My blog is in the very same
niche as yours and my visitors would truly benefit from some
of the information you present here. Please let me know if
this ok with you. Thanks a lot!
Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d
figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links
or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa?
My site goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we could greatly
benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to send me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
Gee, is that not great? I think that a BETTER idea would be for these politician jerks to start listening to the Veterans and IMPROVING the medical care at these VA installations, I would prefer to be able to have a primary care doctor, I would prefer to be able to get my medications, I would prefer to be able to get medical care, these I feel would be a better action than having free access to the National parks,
I feel this is another “pulling the wool over ones eyes” so to divert attention away from the pathetic behavior of the Veteran Administrations treatment of Veterans in their lack of medical care.
Well said….
Hi John B.,
Will you please address your respective complaints, specifically? For example, what is meant by, “…prefer to have a primary care doctor…, get me medications, and get medical care?”
Do you go to a VA Hospital or to a VA-CBOC (VA-Community Based Outpatient Care) facility?
I certainly agree with you John! As a twenty year veteran who served 2 years in Vietnam is having to hire a law firm to try and get my 20% disability raised! My first atempted was denied! I’m on my second appeal! I got 0% disability for PTSD! My wife and I are in our 70s going to a National Park isn’t something on our calendar! Besides on our way from California we stopped at the Grand Canyon we didn’t have to pay anything! When I turned 65 my TriCare Prime to into TriCare for Life! We didn’t have to pay TriCare anymore! Medicare took that spot TriCare for Life paid for the rest, or at least that’s what we were told! As we process the change over I was told we would need pay for Medicare part B @ $225.00 per month for both my wife and I! I told them I do wish to do that! I was abruptly told that if I didnt take Medicare part B I’d loose my TriCare for Life! Before I turned 65 I was paying approximately $500.00 dollars a year for TriCare, and now around $3,000.00 dollars a year! Why is our government wasting time and tax payers money to pass a stupid bill that gives the military Veterans free entrance to National Parks! We did take a pledge to fight and defend our country from foreign and domestic enemies! For most of if not all Veterans still hold that oath, and would gladly do it again if called upon!
When I was RAD, first thing IWeent to nearest VA Hospital. My copays aren’t free, but I I I sure don’t pay $3000! I was assigned a primary, too.
My dad said,Complaining don’t ever get a job done.it takes common sense and hard work along with ambition.keep your mouth shut and ears and eyes open,listen to your elders and show some respect( you just might learn something son)pray for others and never yourself,don’t be selfish and only eat what you need,don’t be a glutton. Say thank you and your welcome, tip you hat to the ladies and always hold the door,you never talk back to your momma. Thank god every day even if he didn’t do anything. Wipe your ass with your left hand eat with your right and don’t get them confused.(I just made that one up)the main the he drilled into me was to Think befor you act,is what I’m about to do the right thing?am what I’m about to say gonna hert anyone?.but most of all.If you do not no what your dumb ass is about to do…Ask someone who just might no befor ya do it.thats where the keep ,them ears and eyes open part comes in.
I hope most folks had a dad like me.just respect one other and we will all be just fine.God bless you all.
Well said Dad!!! I tried to drill that into my son’s head but I had to much outside interference to compete with. You have a great dad
Well said Sir , I agree with most of what you said. But I am ambidextrous . So just listen to your mom , and wash your hands . Please . Both of them , with soap . And ,
well thinking before you act , that is a hard one . Thinking for someone else isn’t always that helpful
either , for you or them . Thanks
If it is free because the US Government said so I would have to see it in writing and certified by three top officials in the US Government
I don’t know about all the other millions of US Vets, but I don’t know how many times I’ve sat here pondering all the rights and benefits that veterans should have, and all the bs going on in this country and suddenly thought to myself “Damn I wish I didn’t have to pay to get into a National Park!” SMH 🤦♂️
This does not apply to National parks that are run and maintained by local municipalities. Case in point, i have free access to national parks for a long time. I went to Pikes Peak and was given $2 off. When I should my card I was told the park was operated and maintained by Colorado Springs and we were paying the city.
We have run into the problem multiple times. It’s BS. Even our state gave free access to state parks and has been giving them over to counties to operate, and we don’t get a discount there.
exaclty! There are a lot bigger fish to fry and the parks are nice but it aint priority #one in this economy
As an army veteran for 8 yrs can my family have free access to national parks
Yes, your dd 214 with honorable discharge is proof enough.
Yes as Long as Your with Them, Your Whole Family, In-laws, Etc. are Free to Enter ALL Parks, on Your Pass, and Your I.D. You Must be Present for them to Enter Free.
After over 30 years as a Veteran it’s about time I get something other than a flag for my family when I die!
Where can I obtain the lift time pass to all US National Parks
[email protected]
Any Forestry Service Office can Help You with that. just bring a Copy of your DD-214 Paperwork, or a Disability Military Card. or a VA Hospital I.D. Card. Showing Your Honorably Discharged. and Your good to Go.
Your VA I’d card or state drivers license, indicating veteran status, dd214 or any form of I’d that shows you’re a veteran.
There is obviously a lot to identify about this. I think you made certain good points in features also.
This remarkable congress sign law and I can to the park. Truly this law while put veterans on top. We defend the constitution. Now we get action for the time we serve in the military.
Defend the constitution?Lol!We defended America for what? Biden just stated the constitution is temporary,Biden wants our guns, Biden has allowed tens of millions of illegals to enter America,look at the gas and food prices! I must ask you, what in the $&@! did we defend?What did we risk our lives for?We have a president who has destroyed everything good and craps on the constitution!
I’ve been hearing, ”they’e gonna take our guns” since the Carter administration. Guess what, I still have mine. Please post a citation where Biden stated the constitution is temporary, I searched and couldn’t find it. You state that ”Biden has destroyed everything good and craps on the constitution”, Really? Everthing? Please name a few things he has destroyed. I’ll wait.
1- Closing the Keystone Pipeline for One. He Closed The Pipeline to Buy Oil from Russia, Now that Biden has CUT off Oil Ties with Russia, He Should Open Back the Canada Keystone Pipeline to Allow Oil to get to the USA. But Biden would Rather US Suffer to Push His Electric Car Agenda.
2- Stating A 9-mm Bullets can Blow Out a Lung, Over a 22-mm Bullet, A 22-mm, can do Much More Damage then a 9-mm, It All Depends On the Type, and Kind, of Bullet.
Biden Said in an address to News Crews that: the Gun Law Constitution is NOT Resolute,. Meaning that Not All Weapons’ were Meant to be in the Hands of the Public, Biden further states, IE, Machine Guns, Cannons, Grenades’, Etc. He Stated Guns meant for the Military, were Never Meant to be in the Hands of the Public. Heck All Guns Made From Black Power Flint Guns to our Modern Guns, and Riffles, Were at one time, First Made for the Military, and Malisa, Before they were ever in the hands of the Public. Every Gun Going back in History. So, Does that Mean He wants to take Our Guns Away??? He Sure Does. Don’t Be Fooled.
He shutdown drilling for our oil.we were good to go,no buying oil from others.he stopped all trump’s border policies and opened the border.come on man I could go on and on.open your freaking eyes asshole dont make me go thru all the bullshit the incompetent ass has done.truly you are joking or are a joke yourself.
I think the person you answered was referring to Biden’s predecessor. Tryin to do the president’s job and fighting what damage was done to democracy before he took office can’t be easy.
Back to getting free entry to National parks, hopefully, will be enacted on all levels of state and county also, AND, there are issues to solve that vets have earned, and deserve more than lackadaisical decision making. Ideally, to reward a living, at a minimum, consideration for the needs of the veteran’s for their gift to the USA and its population for all sacrifices so we can live in our environment. Let the veteran live to experience the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness we are supposed to hold dear in our country.
Amen, everything this individual would come up with would be a lie.
There are other ways to get into a home . That are more flexible . Depends on your financial situation . I mean outside of banking and typical mortgage companies and their products .
yeah. And his name is Trump, not Biden. So, you wanna pick veggies and fruit?
I wish you dirt bags would just go live under putin’s rule and quit driving a wedge between us veterans/americans, we are all americans you uneducated deplorables. Buy a clue, you are doing exactly what putin wants us to do, devide us as people. Trump will be writing putin love letters just like he did with the korean dip stick. Keep drinking the coolaid you dumb asses. What a joke you deplorables have become, you are a disgrace to this country. You are lucky you got your covid shots from the Biden administration via the VA. Trump would have us all injecting bleach. I would be happy to buy you a one way ticket to moscow and a 5 gallon bucket to take some trump coolaid with you. Go piss up a rope you traitor communist bastards!
Mr Murphy, I take my hat off to you, God Bless You, and may you live a very long life.
With sincere and deep regret that that President Biden would be confused with a restroom and common sense as he has none. This is the worst episode of a President I have seen in my lifetime and making up bullshit for high costs to families and increasing gas prices while this country is in a state of economic craziness and taxpayers wish to have confidence in this fool. Houston, we have a problem as the President does not know common sense and wishes folks to have electric cars….how much electricity will this take.
Been inside Hoover Dam and much much water will go away when this country is in a state of climatic change. Hello and is anyone listening.
Hopefully you have neighbors that care and have there wits about them and are prepared that when the stuff hits the fan, you and they will know what to do.
Be blessed and mindfully prepared.
Individuals like you need to drink some kool-aid, maybe it would cause you and others to have some better sense – you really need help. For your information President Biden did cause oil prices to go up, it was Putin, OPEC, and the greedy oil companies that drove gas prices to go up. The same applies to companies supplying our food.
Correction to my above comment – President Biden didn’t cause gas prices to increase.
Wow all the same talking points that we’ve been hearing from the media . We’re dirt bags , deplorables , uneducated communists ,that are lucky because Biden developed the vaccine . It’s a good thing the price of bleach went up to because that’s what will save people from injecting it . We are playing right into Putin’s hands . And Europe’s to by cutting off the supply of oil and natural gas to us and everyone else . And I thought we stopped buying oil from OPEC ,when we were energy independent and selling it to Europe and others . Boy am I stupid And why should we stock pile in the strategic reserve in case of a emergency or a war . There hasn’t been a theat of war sense Trump went to Korea . That’s what we were told any way . Being reminded of all this makes me feel warm and fuzzy thoughts , makes me want to move to Sweden or Germany . Where I can do some good , and help keep people there warm this winter . Just to do my part to impact global warming maybe they won’t cut down as many trees to keep from freezing . And wedges don’t help keep people warm . So stop it already you Putin lover’s . I did won’t t say one thing . Sence most of us are Vet’s . I’m so glad all the people that didn’t make it out of Afghanistan . Well at least they won’t be here to contribute to the dis information . So thankful for that . But you can’t blame Biden for that He wants to keep people alive . Even if it’s just
by forgetting they have been dead for months . Maybe we should to . Thank you for setting the record straight . And I’ll bury that wedge right after I kiss Putin good by. Thanks again I feel so much more connected to the delusional left now .
At least Biden isn’t a trailer like Trump who tried to over through the US government.
Very nice article and right to the point. I don’t know if this is really the best place to ask but do you folks have any ideea where to get some professional writers? Thanks 🙂
For what purpose would writers be used?
So as the wife of a deceased Vietnam Vet(thanks agent orange)! Am I entitled to the National Park Pass? I am qualified for champ VA since his death was related to his military service.
This is ancient and it keeps reposting. This law was signed by Trump 4 or 5 years ago. is this a technology glitch or in mil.com trying to make it look like Biden has actually done something?
Very true, I’ve had free access to nat’l for a few years now. Biden isn’t responsible for anything good for the military
Stop with the division who cares who signed the bill that is nothing compared to the things that they should be doing for all veterans Republicans or Democrats. The system is not working
The system is not working? It is good that access to National Park is free to Veterans but who can afford to drive and see them when the cost of gas has almost tripled. We might have to go back to riding horses for transportation.
We care. The signer was showing his support for the military veterans and nobody else should get credit.
curious to know if you meant military.net or mil.com ?? It helps to have accurate info, doesn’t it …
Military.com is where I get a lot of my information from.
As a military veteran can your family have free access to national parks
Biden has done nothing for this country except destroy everything we Americans hold dear.Wake up people.
I may be wrong, but I think President Obama first signed off on the National Parks when he was in office and trump removed it along with most others Obama signed.
I’m not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading very slow for me.
Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end?
I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
Look at my web page: taxi airport nice st tropez
Be nice for surviving spouses of 100% disabled veterans to also be given lifetime passes. My husband died due to exposure to Agent Orange. It would also be nice to receive his full monthly benefit, not just a portion of it. Widows have a hard time after loosing their loved onr
You are absolutely right
I agree,my Dad was a 24 year Retired Veteran and my Mom and ALL WIDOWS AND WIDOWERS should be entitled to my Dad’s hard earned well. deserved pension.
Your mother would be if your father had taken out survivor benefit.
This would have been great when we and o children were chronically Homeless for decades. I would think your military I.D. would work for spouses? Any facts from anyone else about spouses using this benefit?
Bless your heart Ms. Jane! The blessing is you at least get a portion… I didn’t get anything. Was told I made too much money. It forced me to go back to work 3 wks after burial and I was a mess.
I would suggest to file an appeal to see if they would increase it for you. Best wishes!
True. My father was MIA/KIA in Laos, 1969/1979. Sad that Gold Star survivors like my mom, RIP and her five kids, get almost zero benefits (no VA mortgages, no Vets hiring preference, no property tax relief) compared to veterans who return home alive from a war, or simply retire never having served in a conflict. What I have learned is that dead men don’t vote. But I do! Vets benefits should be extended to not just living widows, but adult children as well. We are called Survivors of Sacrifice, but not acknowledged by law, as such.
Chris, I totally agree with you, but our do-nothing government will not agree with us. I think we are all kidding ourselves if we think things are going to get any better. I vote as a veteran (Army) because if you don’t, you don’t have a right to bitch. the only way this country is going to straighten out is to put our elected officials on the same level as the people they are supposed to be representing. we need term limits, get rid of the lobbyists that get the politicians to seel their votes, put congress on the same health care we have and put them on social security like we are. Maybe then they will get an idea what the voters live like instead of them going to Washington and doing nothing but working to get re-elected. .
I am so terribly sorry for you loss. I agree with you 100% that not only spouses of veterans be allowed free access but their children as well.
I suffer from multiple issues caused by AO, the worst being cancer of the Esophagus. I will be praying for you and your family for God’s comfort in your life.
Mark Borofsky
USN
Vietnam Veteran
I had the same cancer and the VA turned me down said not connected to AO. Is it caused by AO?
I 100% percent agree
I agree with you Jane, I lost my husband because of agent orange also, we had to take care of them and watch them suffer, I think we deserve more than a mere 10% of their pension. We should get some of the benefits they never got to enjoy.
I think the spouse should get his/her spouse complete pension. Especially since the spouses pension was used to take care of the children and spouse.
Jane thank you yes we do not get the pay our love one received. I have been struggling for the past two years just living on a 3rd of what my husband received.
The price of health insurance is no different. The price of inflation does meet the pay we receive to help us each moth
I agree! We still have the same bills, etc. yet only get a portion of what they got. My husband also passed due to complication of Agent Orange. And we had to fight for several years before he could get it. He got it in August and passed in November.
I agree. My husband got Agent Orange in Vietnam and passed away and he was 100%. I got less than half of compensation. I’m sorry but I feel the widows should get all his money. We have to live too.

Is there any efforts occurring
for disabled veterans who received the first separate disability payments in 2003? It took me 10 years to receive my full disability payment. I have a 70% disability. Now veterans with this level of disability get their full payments immediately.
I was unable to serve very long due to the fact of my platoons intertwining with the CIA! What was done to myself and my platoon members was so far beyond wrong it was pathetic! The program was forced upon us and was labeled US ARMY Special Forces Super Soldier Training Program! It was an intertwining of Special Forces and the CIA to try to create Super Human Soldiers! Our DNA was mutated to make us bigger, stronger and faster than most humans! The training was absolute hell on Earth!
Hello Bret, I went into the navy Seabees in 1968 as an equipment operator but after going to Marine combat training I was pulled into the program. I was told I had special talents lol. After 12 weeks I was put into VN for special assignments. I think you know what I am saying. I’m sorry for what you and your platoon went though, it was unfair and unjust. Known of what I was involved with isn’t in any records. Thanks for hearing me out.
Would love to believe you, but Capt. America you are not, and that idea has been sold in Comic books for many years. Me?? United States Marine Corps, 1967-1971, Viet Nam Vet, 60 Machine gunner in the Khey Shan Valley for the Tet Offensive of 1968, one of the few to survive. Special Secret Clearance, Was MP for a year, served on the USS Fremont for the Mediterranean cruise. But to each there own, lol
How do I get a veterans ID card
Go to your nearest VA Hospital with a copy of your Birth Certificate and DD-214 Discharge Papers and they will issue you an ID They will ask when you served and where you served, etc. you will also need your Social Security card so they can make a copy!
Go to a any VA hospital
Go to any VA Hospital
I have VA health card. Would that do or is there another VETERAN ID Card?
You can also apply online at http://WWW.VA.Gov. Follow the instructions. It worked for my brother and countless other Veterans.
I AM HAPPY TO HAVE SERVED MY COUTRY. REGULAR ARMY FOR 3 YEARS. NATIONAL GUARD FOR
12 YEARS. 2.5 YEARS I SERVED IN GERMANY.
THANK YOU

I’m a 6 year veteran, come from a military family mom a captain in the medical field, pop a colonel who swore me in, At 65 I’ve ignored all the signs of truth as to acknowledging the effects of PTSD, brother Iraq, Afghanistan his son also, me Korea military intelligence all 3 of us same system, small world!!! PTSD is something a lot of soldiers ignore, don’t ignore the anger, confusion of behavior that never existed before you may take out some underlying issues that you can’t explain so before your family ends up a victim of something you don’t understand don’t keep silent talk to someone it’s the first step to understanding things can get better ❤️🩹
Howard Williams SAID IT!!! IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO LISTEN THERE WILL BE MORE VICTIMS (YOUR LOVED ONES/FAMILY) Its not that we can blame someone for not expanding their knowledge of their own disorders (PTSD/TBI,TBI,TBI,TBI) but if you have them and have read this and haven’t researched the symptoms because you feel it won’t fix your disorder or won’t make you feel better, you better look past that because you can make yourself and people close to feel a lot worse, now…go…
I’ve been living the same days or nights over and over again,some nights can’t sleep,cold sweats, shaking and just thoughts that won’t leave me alone sometimes during the day.thinking of the good times sometimes helps ,but don’t last long. I servered at the end of nam.74_77.called peice time.was stationed nas oceana vf-11 us forestall med. cruise. We suffered many “mishaps” being a plane captain and ame flightdeck trouble shooter exposed to it all.even though iv been thru some shit I don’t feel I’m eligible for that ptsd stuff .after all ,it was peace time.this sailor just puts on his gear and hits the deck.thats all I have to say.man up.
We use the 10 per cent discount at Lowes and Home Depot. We also used Veterans Home Loan and refinance.
Love to see the National Park for Veterans.
I have ID card for veterans access now.
Do I need to apply for a card or just show my VFW card
How do I get a veterans ID card?
Go to the eligibility office in any VA hospital with valid ID and a copy of your dd214. If you do not have a copy of your dd214 most vet centers can help you get a copy .
