KJRH News
TULSA - It was 1961, Nick Alex served in the Marines, in Platoon 346.
Even after leaving the service, Nick's wife, Cynthia, says he was proud to have served his country.
He died, last October.
"It was very, very hard when he passed away, it still hurts," Cynthia says.
Certainly, Cynthia still suffers through the emotional hurt.
But she feels the financial pain too.
All of the sudden, she had very little income.
"We were married for 38 years and he provided for me those 38 years, I depended on him totally," Cynthia tells us.
Since Nick was getting a VA pension, paperwork from the Veteran's administration told Cynthia she was entitled to $684 a month in survivors benefits, so she applied.
But the days, weeks, and months went by, with no word on those benefits.
Meanwhile, the bills kept piling up, utililies were going to be shut off.
