Attention ADMIN...
Hopefully the Affinity CEO Mike Schneider, will permit a special section for Veterans, but in the meanwhile do you think this would be worthwhile as a "Sticky" for Veterans seeking answers from the Veteran's Administration ?
The Internet links are hot, just click on one to go to that site..
All of this info came directly out of the 2009 "Federal Benefits for Veterans" handbook.

TWO CENTS WORTH
The story goes that a man died and was approached by the Devil who told him that he could buy his soul back for a dollar. The man searched his pockets and could only come up with 98 cent. While begging the Devil to forget the two cent he was short, an Angel happened by and hearing the Devil laughing, asked the man, "Would you mind if I put in my two cents ?" The Devil got so mad that he exploded in a puff of smoke and the man's soul was saved.
The moral: Sometimes putting in your two cents worth makes a difference.

If you get an error message that the page can't be found for the Health Care Eligibility web site, just take out the space between health and eligibility. Internet addresses don't like spaces!
Thank you for putting these numbers and web addresses together, it's a big help.

Unfortunately, the chances are between nil and none.
I have a request presently in for two other forums but there is no time free for the programmers in their present schedules and tasks some of which will effect us.
I did ask Mike face to face in September for some programming time and was told basically what I just stated. Things are just too tight right now.
The programmers are responsible not only for RV.net but many other forum/sites/blogs/internal communication etc. Their load is greater than just us.
Sorry, all I can do is put it on the "Want list".
