Thank you for your service to us. My husband was in Vietnam 64-68 in the Navy. However, he passed from Covid in 2020. Bless you.

I am so sorry you lost your husbad at such a young age. Have you consulted the DAV to see if you are eligable for a widow's pension. There have been substantial changes to the benefits available for Vetnam Veterans (Blue Water Sailors). Your husband may have been more likely to have serious reactions to the Covid because of illness he may have sustained in Vietnam (Agent Orange). If you are not eligible for this assistance, remember you are eligible for a Veterans Widow's pension, and you are eligible for the VA Loans. Many women are not aware of the benefits that are available to them if they only file. I also thank you for all the help you gave this Veteran and I wish you every happiness in the future.
