As a former Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserves, there is a special place in my heart for our wartime veterans.

We have recently learned about a little known and underutilized benefit known as the Aid-and-Attendance Benefit. This is a benefit that could help veterans pay for long-term care or assisted living.
