It is stunning to think about,  but every year tens of thousands of military veterans miss out on millions of dollars in benefits, benefits they earned for their service.  In fact, the federal government is sitting on more than a billion dollars of resources intended for those who served in the armed forces.   So why aren’t these men and women trying to getting what is theirs?

Navigating the federal programs can be daunting, confusing and tedious.   Now, there is an app for that.

Milisource was created by Defense Mobile, a relatively new phone company based in Stamford.    This Sunday on Face the State, we are joined by two of the company’s leaders, Ward Bond and Brendan Reilly, who will explain in detail how the app can dramatically change the lives of veterans.  Best of all, it is free.

If you are veteran, or have a loved one who is, tune in this Sunday morning at 11 on WFSB.
