Help for veterans; stuff by veterans
My article on the opening of the free legal clinic for veterans at N.C. Central University's law school ran Saturday. Rather than link to the article, which will disappear soon behind the pay firewall, I'll just republish the mailing address here:
Veterans Law Project
N.C. Central University Legal Clinic
1512 S. Alston Ave.
Durham, N.C. 27707
The phone number is (919) 530-7166. Voice mail was supposed to be up and running earlier today, but I've been too swamped to check and see whether it is.
The clinic is set up primarily to help veterans here in North Carolina, but any U.S. veteran is welcome to get in touch and seek help.
This clinic is focusing primarily on issues related to VA disability compensation and pension. But Central's law school has eight other free legal clinics, and this clinic is referring veterans who might need help in other areas (family law or estate planning, say) to the appropriate clinic when it can.
A reader referred me to One Veteran of Iraqi Freedom, a blog claiming to be written by, you guessed it, one veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Other than confirming that the blog exists and appears to address what the reader said it addressed, I haven't read it, but I put this out for whatever it might be worth.

PAY FIREWALL? You're putting up a pay firewall in a community that offered free consulting, help and assistance with your Web difficulties? There's a free pass for "us," isn't there?

You don't need to shout, Sue. My son does that enough for both of you.
Yes, our archives (well, almost all of them) are behind a pay firewall and have been for quite a while. That policy both predated and survives my assignment to online.
I gather there are money issues involved. JR probably could tell you more.
