I served this country for six years, but my VA benefits haven’t kept up with the cost of living. There is a lot of pride in the veteran community, and asking for help feels like a defeat. I wouldn’t go to the welfare office, but my fridge was empty. A buddy told me about Food Radar. It’s different because it’s private—just an app on your phone. I used it to find a local VFW post that distributes food boxes specifically for vets. It wasn’t a handout; it felt like soldiers looking out for soldiers. We stood in line, swapped stories, and I went home with enough meat and potatoes for a week. If you wore the uniform, you earned the right to be supported. Don’t let pride make you hungry….…
