  November is Warrior Care Month, and VA is teaming up with the Department of Defense to educate wounded, ill and injured (WII) service members and veterans about their benefits. Warrior Care Month is a coordinated effort to educate active-duty military members, veterans and family members about services available to them. Seriously injured service members have a variety of benefits, including those provided by DoD, VA and even Medicare. Through November, VA and DoD will remind wounded, ill or injured service members to pay attention to their benefits as they transition form military to civilian life. The new Warrior Care Web site provides links to information on programs, initiatives and support for wounded, ill and injured service-members and their families. It includes links to VA's home page and VA Web sites for OEF/OIF veterans and Vet Center services. Check it out at www.warriorcare.mil and spread the word about Warrior Care Month.
