Illegal to Hope

Listening to the young man on the news, stating that he know it is wrong to steal some one else’s identity; but “you have to do, what you have to do“.  And looking back to the day the big march occurred; with all the flags from other countries, carried by people getting close to the camera demanding super-rights; above that enjoyed by us regular CITIZENS.

Compare that time to now, today, the pass week in cities, countries, and states, legislation were enacted that will decrease the number of illegal immigrants; in this Great Country with it’s door mat out 24/7 as long as you enter legally.

Credit for the needed changes; go to all the TV and Radio reports that is keeping the public informed and the Elected Officials feet to the hot fire ignited in the last election by the VOTERS.  And yeoman reporting by the Great Blogs, posting on the subject daily.

VA Application Needs

Every thing I need to apply for; require a copy of my DD214. I have a copy in a folder on my Notebook, so I can print or fax it; which ever is best. I suggest that you print a few copies and mail to other relatives and ask them to file them with other important papers. This is your insurance against a fire or flood at your house or the(NPRC) building, where all copies of your records are stored. 

 The good news is this DD214 is all you need to apply for most benefits and services. Bad news? it will not aid you in upgrading your Awards, you need a report from at least two people who can vouch for your actions at the time you earned the Award.  The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) site will direct you to the site where you can file an application for upgrading your Awards. Knowing that my records are destroyed, I hope I can find letters, or any part of my records that will enable me to apply for an upgrade. It can be a letter some one wrote home to his or her Mother, and mentioned you; and your action that resulted in you receiving the award.  You can file for your records by selecting NPRC in the Blogroll.
