| The Army has decided to cut off retirement pay for veterans of a militia formed to guard the territory of Alaska from the threat of Japanese attack during World War II. The change means 26 surviving members of the Alaska Territorial Guard -- most in their 80s and long retired -- will lose up to $557 in monthly retirement pay, a state veterans officer said this week. The payments end Feb. 1. |
