Although there are many resources and support out there for military serviceman/woman and their families, accessing and finding the right resources for them is the hard part. For example, when I was doing part one of this assignment I found it difficult to find resources specifically for a serviceman, spouse, and children. To be honest, it took me a very long time to find resources that were relevant and helpful for veterans and active duty serviceman. I am not sure if it’s because it was my first time researching for these resources or there were not as many resources out there than I thought. Therefore, I believe that there should be one main user-friendly portal website that all veterans …show more content…

I thought that this website was very useful because it allowed serviceman and their families to find resources that are available to them installation (Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coastguard, etc.) or by a state. If they were looking for a specific programs or services, this website also gave them that opportunity to that and also by zip code. When I was using this website, I found it very helpful because I wanted to find a military base in Los Angles California near where I live and I came across the Los Angles Air Force Base near the LAX airport, which was down the road from where I live and I had no idea that there was a military base there. This website gave me an overview of the population and resources available for serviceman and families who live on this base, such as programs for youths, schools, child development center, therapist/counselor,

These veterans are the results of fighting for our country and safety and now left in a positions of needing someone to fight for them.

Veteran Benefits The issue of veteran benefits in the United States is not taken as seriously as it should be in our country, even though it is a growing problem that needs to be addressed. The lack of available funding for veterans is especially obvious when compared to that available for lower income citizens, or even illegal immigrants. Also, what does exist appears to fall short in taking care of veteran’s needs. Considering that these veterans are people who have risked their lives fighting for this country, the fact that they are not receiving immediate benefits or even what they have earned is unfair.
