i am a retired veteran. i currently live in PA / USA. i am making a long term plan to get to viet nam. i am hoping to be there for my 61st birthday, and christmas. yes, i am a christmas baby. i have 2 felines, checkers and sandy, coming with me. i literally have just learned about retired veterans living in viet nam.

my 1st steps are going to be mostly documentation. LMFAO, my class A CDL, with hazmat, tanker endorsements, expired this past christmas, and my passport lapsed in feb. of this year. all i have for ID currently, is my VA card.

my local VA is absolutely useless, and i expect no help from that quarter. any vets here will have more trust than my local VA! lol

i have done some research, and it looks like my SSDI follows me, my SNAP will not, and my humana visa card may be limited. (humana card gives me 125 / month for food and kitty supplies, and 1000 / month for dental and vision in addition to medical.)

looks like my 1st steps are a new passport, and an ID that lets me get on a plane!! I SURE HOPE THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IS OVER BY THEN!!! ha ha ha!!
