From what he told us, he was not allowed to be buried at Arlington Cematery like much of his family there.

The argument about that is the fact that they worry about the grandkids coming to visit grandpa or grandma or both. “Or any place children may congregate”. On my residency restrictions it gets specific as to location, schools, parks, daycare centers, etc ad infinitum; and then it ends with that quote “or any place children may congregate”. Homeless shelters and storm shelters operate under the same quotation.

According to the VA only SO’s who have been found guilty of a tier 3 and sentenced to life in prison are not eligible for burials.

If he is an honorable discharged veteran the VA policy is SO’s get treated the same as other patients and no flag is to be put in their file. There are some living at the VA hospital nearby in the inpatient mental health. So not sure why he wouldn’t be able to stay there.

The PA house member in question can be found here (https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/member_information/house_bio.cfm?id=1173) if interested in sharing your thoughts on the matter. Remember, be polite, short, and succinct. I personally would like to know how they’ll guarantee this won’t prevent people from being denied elder care if they have to also register…perhaps put it in the bill that this fact can’t be used against them.

Seems like the VA won’t help with burial services for anyone with a SO. My state won’t even allow a PFR the morbid (ha!) job of preparing the dead.

One of the guys at our house was in a nursing home in the Sarasota area. He’s in a wheelchair because of an amputation of his left leg. He is also a veteran. For some reason he never explained, he left the nursing home to live in Orlando. He’s 72, I’m 68 (69 in March) and the third guy is 57. All of us on the registry. Considering we cannot go to homeless shelters nor hurricane shelters because families with children are there, now nursing homes and hospices are locked up.

Robert….Very Well Said and Kudos to You!
