Benefits vary for Vietnam veterans across states
Vietnam era veterans receive many state benefits in addition to federal programs, with most tangible aids going to those severely disabled or survivors. States differ on bonuses, often tied to service length and combat status, ranging from 100 to 1600 dollars, plus educational and license perks. Federal programs include education payments, home loan guarantees, and medical care, with disability compensation, special vehicle grants, and wheelchair housing for the severely disabled, and pensions for low income veterans and widows.

He projected a 12 percent rise in 1974 retail food prices, possibly 16 percent with bad weather, or around 8 percent with weak demand.
