I am proud to say that I honor our veterans whenever possible. I am glad that our government gives them a few perks such as aVA mortgage. I am sad that benefits aren’t always honored as much as they were 20 or 30 years ago. I am referring to health care. A friend of mine is a nurse at a VA hospital and she says that the veterans at that hospital get excellent care. I am more concerned about how non military health care facilities make it difficult for veterans and active duty military to use local facilities.

I don’t want to harp on the negative because there are many good things that veterans are entitled to. At Your VA Benefits.com there is a whole list of benefits and tools to help veterans.

Sites such as Your VA Benefits.com are a godsend to veterans and their families. The site makes it easy to find out about burial for a loved one who was a veteran. Pension benefits are also discussed.

Another wonderful aspect of the website is that it has information about VA loans. Loans are available for Veteran’s meeting certain requirements. Many people are not even aware of the great benefits offered to them. Check out the website to see how a person can get qualified for a VA Loan or Educational Benefits.

Why is it that the minute you get your camera out, your pet moves out of that cute pose. We were just talking about how hard it is to get a great picture. Last winter, a flock of cardinals landed on a tree. It had just begun to snow and big flakes were falling. It was a beautiful setting. I knew if I tried to get a picture they would be gone by the time I got my camera. Now, when I see a beautiful picture of animals, I admire it. I know how difficult it was to achieve.
