An Iowa Army World War II veteran with a service connected disability had his National Service Life Insurance reopened by Congress. Des Moines VA Center official C. W.

Three veterans wasted little time applying for insurance they had not considered necessary as single men. Elliott says about 20000 Iowa veterans share this eligibility but are not on rolls and cannot be notified. They may apply for full 10000 policy or as little as 1000, with deadline midnight May 2 1966.
