The Other Page Radio welcomes us to another episode on veteran affairs. Veteran housing and benefits are approached as needs due to those who have served their country. Host Haywood Fennell offers resources available for those struggling to balance the conflicting realities facing them under the current political climate. Laws exist that protect veterans and their due benefits, one observation made is the lack of leadership demonstrated by government representatives that are quick to ask for the veteran vote yet slow on the draw to providing much needed resources and representation for their so desired constituents. Veterans continue to provide an inmeasurate value in today's society and their voices are often masked by the challenges some face mentally, economically and socially without any accountability for the resources due to them. The invitation is always there to turn to The Other Page Radio to discover the many ways our veterans continue to overcome and overachieve despite however they may currently find themselves underrepresented and underserved.
