Widow of 100% total permanent disabled Marine. Service related death.

Hello! I am a recent widow of a disabled Marine. He was 100% total permanent and his death was service related. Am I eligible to stay at any of these camps? I understand it can be a case by case basis but did not see my category/group on the explanation page. I recently stayed at the Disabled Veterans Rest Camp in MN but am unsure about any others. I have his DD214, death certificate, etc., and I am not remarried. Also... If I AM able to utilize these camps, does it matter if he was Marine and I stay at an Army camp? Thanks for the help!

Hi,

If authorized, branch of service doesn't matter.

This article includes copies of the applicable regulations on who is authorized to utilize MWR facilities (includes campgrounds). I may have missed it, but I don't see any authorization for surviving spouses of 100% DAV.

You should have your Military ID. (My wife does)You should also have Champ VA. If you are able to go on base then you are able to use the camp sites. That is for life or until you remarry.
