Thank you for posting of the web site. I did not serve in Vietnam, but did serve during the Vietnam War Era. There isn't a day that goes by without checking the obituaries in the paper. I have seen many obits of individuals with whom I grew up and went to school with. I also lost many friends and co-workers in the Vietnam War. After having seen the video and as I type this with tears in my eyes I know that my disabilities attributed to my military service are minor compared to those with Vietnam service. Some paid the ultimate sacrifice and others continue to cope with their illnesses whatever they may be. To them and all who have serve in all eras I salute them and may we never forget that this Nation is what it is because of them.

At this point it's more meaningful to process the claims and deal honestly with Agent Orange by making the awards and giving the back pay. Since they left the POW's over there I don't see them doing anything but passing costless resolutions that sound good but when you reach in your pocket you only feel empty space.
