Hmmm... Interesting! I don't think I have heard of them. I have
occasionally gotten a phone call from someone wanting money for disabled
Vets. I listen only long enough for them to get to the part (and they
always do) about the poor Vets not getting the money that they deserve.
Then I agree and say that the VA still owes us money. That's when they
quickly hang up. Ha!
