Here is one Veteran’s experience at the Colorado Springs PACT Act claims clinic.
During a fishing trip three years ago, Army Veteran David Krall, 75, of Colorado Springs noticed his balance slipping. As a forward observer in Vietnam from 1970 to 1971, the long-term impact of chemical exposures was not often considered.
“I noticed my quality of life going down,” Krall said.

Smog Check Program

Catalytic Converter Theft and the Smog Check Program
A catalytic converter is an essential emissions control part and is a key component inspected during a Smog Check. It contains rare metals responsible for converting smog-causing pollutants that pass through a vehicle’s exhaust system into less harmful compounds. Because these metals have a high recycle value, catalytic converter theft has become increasingly common.
Experienced thieves can remove a catalytic converter in one to two minutes using basic tools. What can net a thief hundreds of dollars at a scrapyard or recycler can then cost you thousands of dollars to replace, depending on the make and model of your vehicle. Learn more below on how you can protect your catalytic converter and prepare for your vehicle’s next Smog Check.
How can I protect my vehicle from catalytic converter theft?

Install a theft prevention device on your catalytic converter – A licensed auto shop can install a protective plate, shield, clamp, cage, strap, or other device to secure your catalytic converter. The device must be properly installed to avoid any damage to the catalytic converter and ensure all identifying information is visible. The device should not be welded or attached directly to the catalytic converter.
Mark your catalytic converter – Engraving or etching your catalytic converter with your vehicle identification number (VIN) or license plate number may deter theft. It may also alert a reputable scrap dealer that the device is stolen and can help to identify the owner. If you choose to also have your catalytic converter painted with bright, fluorescent paint, be sure that the paint does not cover any identifying information. Check with your local law enforcement agency for information on any upcoming no-cost engraving/etching events.
Adjust your vehicle’s alarm – A well-calibrated alarm can detect vibration and alert you or scare thieves away.
Park your vehicle in a safe location – If you have a garage, use it. Consider installing motion-sensitive lights if you park in your driveway.

 Veterans Portrait Project
 

The Veterans Portrait Project on VA.gov

The images of U.S. Veterans on the VA.gov homepage are part of the Veterans Portrait Project, which honors Veterans through photography.

The Veterans Portrait Project was started by retired Air Force Staff Sergeant and Aerial Combat Photojournalist Stacy Pearsall as a means of honoring her fellow Veterans.
Pearsall has photographed more than 7,500 Veterans so far, and hopes to capture portraits of Veterans in every state and province the U.S. Department of Defense recruits from. She got the idea for the project after being injured in combat. “After spending hours in VA waiting rooms surrounded by Veterans from every generation and branch of service,” she says, “I was compelled to honor and thank them in the only way I know how: photography.”

Veterans’ Group Life Insurance (VGLI)

With Veterans’ Group Life Insurance (VGLI), you may be able to keep your life insurance coverage after you leave the military for as long as you continue to pay the premiums. Find out if you qualify for VGLI and how to manage your coverage.

 Am I eligible for Veterans’ Group Life Insurance?
 

You may be eligible for VGLI if you meet at least 1 of these requirements.
At least 1 of these must be true:

You had part-time Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI) as a member of the National Guard or Reserve. And you suffered an injury or disability (damage to your body or mind that makes it hard for you to do everyday tasks, including meaningful work) while on duty—including direct traveling to and from duty—that disqualified you for standard premium insurance rates, or
You had SGLI while you were in the military and you’re within 1 year and 120 days of being released from an active-duty period of 31 or more days, or
