Veteran News: Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay

    Hey gang, this was sent to me by Chris and I think this could impact quite a few guys and gals in this industry.  If you were part of the stop loss crew, here is the information you need.  Just follow the link to the Veterans Today website, and they have listed all the services that have websites that will help you file for your retroactive stop loss pay. –Matt

From Veterans Today

The 2009 War Supplemental Appropriation Act set aside $534.4 million for the Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay compensation authority. Soldiers, veterans and survivors of those whose service was involuntarily extended under Stop Loss between September 11, 2001 and September 30, 2008 can apply to receive $500 for every month, or portion of a month, they served under Stop Loss. The 2009 War Supplemental Appropriations Act established and largely funded the payment for all military services, but dictated that each service process and pay their own applicants.

Veteran News: Vets For Freedom

Filed under: Veteran News — Tags: , , , , — Matt @ 12:54 PM

     Happy Veterans day to all those that have served in the war, or have served in wars past.  I am a member of VFW and I support their hard work.  I also support the other groups out there, and this particular group is a stand out.  Vets for Freedom are a great bunch of guys, and have done an outstanding job of raising awareness about the good efforts of the troops in this war.  The best part, is that a bunch of their members are trying to get into politics.  God bless ’em.  –Head Jundi 

 

 

Dear Vets for Freedom Member:

Today, Americans across this great country join together to honor our military veterans. At town-squares, solemn ceremonies, and school assemblies across this county, we remember the beaches of Normandy, the jungles of Vietnam, the sands of Iraq, and everything before, after, and in between.

We remember that every liberty we enjoy–those we usually take for granted–was purchased and defended by warriors; those willing to stand their post, take the hill, or kick down doors in dangerous places so we can enjoy the American way of life.
