Berta Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I dont think I ever saw a statement like this in over ten years : "I was awarded sc for rheumatoid arthritis due to radiation exposure." Atomic vets have a very hard time satisfying the criteria for radiation exposure!!!!!! I remember when you first came aboard here Admiral----and I sure admire your persistence. This is a wonderful victory! And it shows that one must NEVER give up!!!!!!! Congratulations! GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
