Hello, I am Rudy Recile. I am a US American Citizen with Filipino heritage. I am the son of a single immigrant mother who worked hard to bring her family to the USA from the Philippines. In 1987 I would also swear an oath of service to the US Army to defend the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. After 26 years of service, I retired from the US Army.
Did you know all US Servicemembers (i.e. veterans alive) make up 7% of all USA Citizens? The oldest of our Veterans are WWII vets.
Did you know only 1% of the US Population currently serve in the US Armed Forces? Less than 1% protect USA Citizen’s freedom to live freely in the USA.
Many Veterans have difficulties receiving the benefits due to them. There are bureaucratic processes, overworked workers, not enough case workers and politicians who say they care about our veterans but only act when the spotlight is on them.
