(logged in user) August 24, 2009, 6:54pm (report abuse)It's about time that someone cared about the spouses' of disabled Vietnam Vets. Us and our family members have seen our loved ones go through hell and it has changed not just our spouses forever but also the family of these heroes. Retired military spouses are taken care of financially with no questions asked so why not the spouses and families of a disabled veteran.

They should have changed the 10 year period along time ago. We had to stand and watch our loved ones suffer then die and now noone seems to care. So thatnk you for introducing this bill, I am keeping my fingers crossed.

No help here for our current widows.
