Iom Committee Meets In Chicago Nov4Th

[Lorraine]

My Vet checked his eBenfits page today(nothing new), but while he was online, they sent him a notice of the public meeting tomorrow in Chicago to discuss the health effects in veterans associated with the herbicides sprayed during the Vietnam War. "The report from this committee will be provided to the Dept of VA to help advise officials on policy decisions regarding compensation to veterans for service-related illnesses." (Hotel Allegro 1pm central)

"The primary purpose of this meeting is to hear from Vietnam veterans about their health concerns. All Vietnam Veterans are invited, and anyone who wished to share a personal experience with the committee are encouraged to reserve a time on the agenda."

Rather late notice, but maybe some Vets in the Chicago area are able to attend.

The VA and IOM need to hurry up or all Vietnam Vets will be dead. I read the obits every day and another RVN vet bites the dust.
