My father was in the army many years ago. From their he went into the reserves. My dad is 91 years and in the hospital in Susanville. He cannot take care of himself and he does not have much time left for this world.

They are going to release him and he will come home. But his wife cannot take care of him because she can’t do it by herself. She found out today the army will not pay for my father to go into a convalescent home.

I see on television many many times of how there is full insurance and that the army takes care of its veterans. So if that is the case, then why is it not doing so for my dad. My stepmother was told that my father will not get the help financially because he went into the reserves.

Someone want to explain this severe dilemma. My father a veteran. A soldier for your country and mine and everyone else. No only did he go to war for all of us but he went into the reserves right after. He did not stop serving his county when he came home from the war.

My father deserves every single benefit for medical and so much more.
