MemberJust started my appeal process. Met a local vet who also has MG and is getting comped. He is going to help me and I have the name of an attorney who helped a widow who is my neighbor. Went into Danang at age 18 in ’65 at the start of the buildup, camp Tien Sha. They sprayed the perimeter with Agent Orange then drilled a well there. Drank, bathed in and had my food prepared in Agent Orange water. Lost my thyroid to Hashimoto’s shortly after Nam. Always cold. Moved to Florida after being cold all my life in Pennsylvania, even now sleep with socks on. Fifty-plus years now.
Just learned tinnitus can be comped but good luck getting it. Loaded a 3 inch anti-aircraft gun on a tin can w/o ear protection. Pointer and trainer had sound powered headsets but not the rest of us. I will amend my appeal anyway.
They all love us when their running for office.
