Our military veterans face a great deal of challenges at times following their service especially when it comes to getting care and filing disability claims with the Veterans Administration.
Veterans Day is this Wednesday and it’s always fantastic to see many New Jersey businesses do what's best for our military vets. The convenience store chain QuickCheck raised $109,000 that will benefit military veterans and military families throughout the Garden State. Thanks to a successful golf outing and other fundraiser events, $45,000 of that $109,000 will support Bridging The Gap in Manasquan.
Voters will decide whether to expand the $250 veterans’ property tax deduction by making veterans eligible even if they didn’t serve during a time of war.
