On Thursday morning, August 31, 2009, the portals of heaven opened when yet another soldier of the Lord entered God’s army. Julius and Virginia Gulden had been planning for this event - even so, it always comes unexpectedly. His life is a love story: love of his Lord, his lifelong sweetheart and his nation. Julius was a courageous, quiet yet strong, unsung hero. It is always amazing to hear an account like his; he played such a grandiose role in the history of our nation. From the beginning of his life in Pittsburgh, PA on January 8, 1921, he seemed destined for a remarkable venture.

A Scandalous “Widow Tax” on The Wives of Those who gave Their Lives for Our Country
There are about 54,000 widows who receive about $1,150 a month in Dependency and Indemnity (DIC) Compensation from the Veterans Administration.
Military personnel purchase a Survivors Benefit Plan (SBP) that provides income for a surviving spouse when the veteran dies. If the veteran dies from service related causes, the $1,150 DIC is subtracted from the widow’s SBP payments that were paid for by her sponsor.
