handle. |

| Last
But Not Least - Keep your family and a trusted
friend informed on what you are doing, what has
happened and where all of your documents are
kept. If something were to happen to you where
does your family stand if they can't find the
information. If you need a secure place and don't
have one contact us at vastorage@veterans.org and we will assist you by
scanning them and providing storage in a secure
directory on the web. Be sure and buy a notebook. Not just
one with paper but one with about five divders
and pockets with it. Keep a copy of everything in
the appropriate pocket and make complete notes of
everything you have done, who you have talked to,
the time, place and gist of the conversation.
Also copies of everything the VA sends you and
copies of everything you turn in. You can get
notebooks like these from Office Max, Office
Depot and other stores and they cost about 4 to 5
dollars. They are sometimes worth their weight in
gold at least from the email we receive telling
us this was one of the most important pieces of
advice they got.
