The Veterans Club speaker in February, will be Gerry Jones (USAF retired) who will be speaking on the Three Tier’s of Veterans Pensions... particularly the third tier "Aid & Attendance". This pension is one that few are aware of but the one for which many veterans and/or spouses qualify. It is a good investment of your time that several in the audience and possibly their relatives will qualify for one of these pensions whether now or later.
