Hello,
CNN News gives $200,000 to whomever is chosen as the CNN Hero. One of the candidates is a widow of a vet who started an organization to help other veteran's widows. The hero is chosen, at this point, by the public. You can vote 10 times a day at this site:

ps -- I don't know this lady. I'm also not a vet. I hope you'll overlook my coming onto your site for this matter. My brother is a Vietnam vet, though. He was a paratrooper out of Ft. Bragg, NC
