Now I don't know if they do this already, but for P&T disabled vets I hope that they provide a stipend to the wives/kids of those families too as I'm sure that they make sacrifices on their own careers and lives to take care of their disabled veteran.

A totally disabled veteran is more than just a burden to themselves. They impact their families significantly too. I have a cousin that is 100% disabled and his mother is his primary caretaker. She'll never be able to go back to work full time unless he is placed in an institution.
