5. Call the DAV and get some help to make sure your step-dad is getting all the benefits he's entitled to receive

Go this page on the Disabled American Veterans web site, enter your zip code and you'll get the contact info for the nearest DAV office. Call and ask to speak to a National Service Officer. An NSO can help you make sure your step-dad is getting all the medical, home care and other VA benefits he's entitled to receive. The DAV helped me obtain my benefits including one I barely knew how to obtain.

Tell your step-dad an Air Force chief says, "You're tougher than woodpecker lips!" That'll put a smile on his face!
