Veteran Stories
Meet the Veterans and surviving spouses behind the VetAssist Program. Their stories of service are filled with inspiration and humor, and a shared gratitude for the home care and benefits they have earned through their service.
Veteran Stories
We are grateful to our VetAssist clients who are sharing their personal stories including Veterans’ stories from female WWII Veterans, who at that time, didn’t serve alongside men. Instead, they served in the Women’s Army Corps (WACs) and the Naval Reserve’s Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES).
Our Veterans’ stories describe what it was like to serve your country, return to civilian life and start new careers and families.
Our stories about Veterans include inspiration, poignancy and humor. For example, a WWII Veteran inspires us as an active volunteer in his 90s. Some suffered the loss of a spouse or child. A WWII medical technician describes her role as a “bedpan commando.”
A common thread among every Veteran’s story is a happy ending. Each of these Veterans is now entitled to a little-known VA benefit called “Aid and Attendance.” This is a monetary benefit which covers the cost of a personal care aide and more. Veterans Home Care’s VetAssist Program helps these Veterans live as independently as possible with dignity in their own home using the benefits they earned from military service.
