What to Do When a Veteran Dies

A veteran you loved has died, and the questions are arriving faster than the answers. This short book walks the first year with you on a clock: the first 72 hours, the first two weeks, the first 90 days, months three to twelve, the one-year wall, and year two and beyond. It shows what belongs to this week and what can wait, the papers almost everything depends on, the burial honors families have to ask for, and the one deadline most families never hear about. It never decides your case. It hands you the questions to bring to a free accredited representative.

You will follow Carol, whose husband Ray served in the Army, and her daughter Dana, helping from two states away. Every chapter has a note for the son or daughter reading it for a parent, and a warning about the scams aimed at grieving families.
