IN GOD WE TRUST Psalm 91 A reassuring message for those who serve our country! "Those who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.' He will cover our troops with his feathers, and under his wings they will find refuge; his faithfulness will be their shield and rampart. . . . For he will command his angels concerning them to guard them in all their ways. 'Because he loves them,' says the Lord, 'I will rescue them; I will protect them, for they acknowledges my name. They will call upon me, and I will answer.' ™Chaplain Fellowship Ministries International Inc. supports our troops one hundred percent: Millions of veterans lose out on many benefits because the VA will not tell them they qualify – Why? – Money! – And, because the VA is not required to tell anyone about any benefits, certain government parties oppose legislation to require the VA to inform veterans of benefits The Veterans' Administration offers a Special Pension with Aid and Attendance (A&A) benefit that is largely unknown. This Special Pension allows for Veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular attendance of another person to assist in eating, bathing, dressing, undressing or taking care of the needs of nature to receive additional monetary benefits. It also includes individuals who are blind or a patient in a nursing home because of mental or physical incapacity. Assisted care in an assisted living facility also qualifies. This most important benefit is overlooked by many families with Veterans or surviving spouses who need additional money to help care for ailing parents or loved ones. This is a "pension benefit" and is not dependent upon service-related injuries for compensation. Most Veterans who are in need of assistance qualify for this pension. Aid and Attendance can help pay for care in the home, nursing home or assisted living facility. A Veteran is eligible for up to $1,519 per month, while a surviving spouse is eligible for up to $976 per month. A couple is eligible for up to $1,801 per month. Figures are from the Veteran's Administration as of 1/01/07 Please contact the VA to verify current Aid and Attendance monthly payments. Chaplains
who are working with returning wounded and disabled veterans and
their families need to study the follow and make it known to the
veterans and their families they are helping. There are many ways the American people can help support our troops. The following is a list of organizations that are reaching out to help in many different ways, they need more than chips and sodas people. Please let us know if you find any of these links that are broken, or if any of these links have been compromised by those who are evil and sorry enough to try and make a profit off our troops serving in combat. We found a link recently that had been redirected to an adult web site, so there are those who are sorry and could care less about our troops or their families. These people are just out to make a profit no matter who it hurts, or disrespects, it is just the world we live in today. Please let us know if you find a link that has been compromised.
