If you’re a veteran, you are eligible to receive medical care at any VA hospital or emergency room—free of charge. This includes walk-in care, urgent care, and emergency services. You do not need a disability rating or an active claim. If you served, you’re covered.
Many veterans don’t even realize they’re eligible for benefits. Some are automatic—you don’t have to apply. These include a free pair of glasses once a year, hearing aids, and other essentials that support your quality of life. If you’ve served, you’ve earned more than you may know.
The VA Disability Portal is your starting point for filing a claim, checking your status, and understanding your benefits.
Need help? Organizations like the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) offer free assistance from trained advocates who can walk you through every step. You can also work with accredited attorneys or VSO representatives to make sure your claim is complete, accurate, and supported.
If you’re struggling emotionally, please reach out. The Veterans Crisis Line is available 24/7 at 988 (then press 1). You can also text 838255 or visit VeteransCrisisLine.net. Your life matters. Your service matters. Help is always available.

We lost a good man this week. Killed in cold blood because he didn’t support abortion. Shot dead in front of his wife and kids because he believed in Jesus Christ. Murdered because he didn’t support homosexuality. Sent to his grave at 31 years old because he advocated tight border control.
I cried when my daughter called me, crying, to tell me about Kirk’s death. Famous people die all the time. This is the first time I cried for one of them. Don’t get me wrong—I didn’t even know the guy, so it wasn’t like I was bawling like a baby. Like his wife was. Like his children were. His extended family. His friends. I saw him on TV a few times, but it was easily enough for me to appreciate what he was trying to do—for God, his family, and his country.
Thank you, Charlie. Because of your passing, I decided to take a closer look at my life. I thought it would be a good idea to dig in and see what I believed in as strongly as Charlie did. What makes me tick? Would somebody who barely knew me cry if I died? Turns out I’m a lot like Charlie. Scarily alike. Like twins alike. Did he have anything to do with that? Not one bit. Did he influence me so much that I changed how I think about any subject? Nope. I go about my life believing what I believe. If you ask me, I’ll tell you. If you don’t, you’ll never know. I don’t know how he felt about the death penalty. And unless you ask me, you’re not going to know how I feel.
Besides the things Charlie and I believed in, we also shared something else. We loved our families with every bit of our being. We loved ourselves—the good and the bad. We respected others for who they are. If every one of us were on the same page, we’d all be attending Harvard. I bet he didn’t have an ounce of hate in him. I wish I could say the same. The last twenty years have been difficult for America. We’ve taken a downturn that no one knows how to pull us out of. Charlie had an idea that he could help, and he lived and died by it.
Thank you, Charlie. And God bless you for daring to dream. And God bless your family and friends that you’ve left behind. And God bless the haters. They may need it the most.
