Everything was smooth sailing on the Veterans Adviser's side for submission to the VA. When I received a denial the first time I was surprised and heartbroken, but Stephanie spoke to me directly and settled my nerves by explaining that sometimes the VA will do so. She explained the next steps and what might happen even at the supplemental claim stage. When I received denial #2 from the VA it was not a surprise as the VA had once again not reviewed my actual paperwork submitted. Stephanie stayed on top of things and explained what a Higher level review might look like, reassuring me to trust the process. Fast forward a few months later I received the positive outcome we had longed for. Forever grateful for Stephanie and the team.

From day one,…read morehe was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly dedicated to helping me navigate the complex VA disability process. Thanks to his expertise and relentless commitment, I was granted 100% Permanent and Total disability in lightning speed--something I never thought possible!!! He handled every detail with care, kept me informed throughout, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. What stood out the most was how much he genuinely cared--not just about the case, but about me as a person and a veteran. If you're looking for someone who will fight for you, guide you with confidence, and get results fast, Tony is the one you want by your side. I'm beyond grateful for his support and highly recommend him to any fellow veteran seeking VA benefits.

I stopped in this Post for a Sunday breakfast. It's a nice post located in a small strip mall. The…read morespecial for the day was the Pork Chop and Eggs breakfast. I asked for my eggs over medium and the meal also came with house breakfast potatoes and toast. I had rye toast and the meal cost $8 donation. The lady in the kitchen hit the eggs right on the money and they came with a slow run yolk and were partially cooked through. The eggs were lightly seasoned but I did add some black pepper. Pepper and eggs are my thing. The pork chops was thick, very tender, and tasty. However, I do recommend that they render the fat along the edges better, not to get rid of it, but to elevate the texture and give it a some crunch or crispiness, not to mention some color. The potato cubes were good. They had nice color, tender, and offered a nice crisp edge. They were also seasoned well. They rye toast was good. They went a little heavy on the butter for my taste, but then again, I like to spread my own butter on my toast. Lisa, the young lady on the floor that morning was very nice and helpful. Good service.

Family holds children's hands for a while, and their hearts forever…read more You may have noticed some houses have small flags or banners with a blue star hanging in a front window. It doesn't matter if you're in America or anywhere in the world, the flags or banners are all the same --and they hang quietly, solemnly in home windows. Why? Well, when a family member joins the military, some military families choose to display a Blue Star Service banner or flag in a window of their home to signify a loved one or more than one is an Active Duty Service member in one of the six US Armed Forces. There are also Blue Star pins to wear. As a Blue Star family myself, I believe that the worst part of being a Blue Star Family is waiting for the Active Duty family member to come home; for family gives children roots to grow from and wings to fly with. It might even be said one pulls oneself together as a Blue Star Family member. During that waiting, I find that connecting with others is very important, just as important as my connections with my Veterans organizations. These social connections such as joining non-profits like here Blue Star Families, lowers my anxiety and depression, help me regulate my emotions, leads to higher self-esteem and empathy, boosts my mood, and actually improve my immune systems and overall health. I am happier. When I'm at Blue Star Families meetings and events I feel valued, seen, heard, supported, and that the companionship and interactions with others are mutually rewarding. The minute someone takes the oath to Serve in the US. military, both their life and their family's lives change forever. All the things they heard about and prepared for - the moves, deployments, the time apart - all become a reality and life is never the same again, not only for the Service members, it changes also for their family. This special flag, displayed only by military families, is where the phrase "Blue Star Family" comes from and refers to the family members of an Active Duty Service member. The Blue Star Family tradition is rich in history and dates back to World War I. Blue Star organizations help military families and raise awareness of Blue Star Families' sacrifices. November is National Veterans & Military Family Month. Find out who are the Blue Star Families in your neighborhood and offer to help out 'em. Family is spouse, parents, stepparents, foster parents, father-in-law, mother-in-law, children, stepchildren, foster children, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, great and grandparents, great and grandchildren, brothers, sisters, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and those who consider an Active Duty Service member a part of their family. There are numerous non-profits that have "Blue Star Families" or "Blue Star" in their names, and they are located throughout America and the world. None are officially a part of the US government. Blue Star Mothers, another Blue Star non-profit, is chartered by the US Congress. https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/RL30340.html https://www.facebook.com/BlueStarFamilies/ https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/800369895
