Veteran death benefits

Comments: Subject: Email Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2000 08:42:19 -0500 From: Harlean Harlowe To: hbarker@kwp.org, tbarker@kwp.org

My husband was in Korea in 1950 during the Korean Conflict in the U. S. Air Force. He recently passed away.

Do you know where I can find out if there are any burial benefits for him for that particular time in the armed forces? Or where I might find this out.

Wife of Corporal Stanley Schindleheim USAF. He was able to buy two houses under the VA, because he was in Korea during this conflict.

Thank you, Harlean Schindelheim Wife of Stanley Schindelheim and mother of Warrant officer and helicopter in the U. S. Army and flew helicopters 3 yrs in Medivac in Korea and then came home because he wanted to fly jets and finished his college here in Texas and was commissioned a Lt.in the USMC and started to fly jets for the Marine Corps until he was on deployment in the Med. Sea off the USS Kennedy aircraft carrier and much to my regret he lost his life in one of their crummy A-6's off the isle of Crete on Oct. 24th, 1986. The worst day of my life. Oh, by the way the Marines do not take care of their own. My opinion and a very good one I might add.
