 GB Army  IS RIGHT ON....YES This is what I got this morning too! but I think it don't go into effect until Jan 2021  unless they mean Jan 2019  which has already passed.

Thanks GBArmy and Buck--for posting this-......

There is no new news on the Class action yet:

I wonder how many vets were denied because their ships were not on the past lists, which have grown over the past years, by veterans who did the leg work themselves to prove their ship was exposed to AO. Those vets who did that have helped many other BWN vets to succeed.

The NVLSP Class Action is for BWN vets to get equitable treatment- meaning Nehmer should kick in for them.   

I sure hope the lawsuit succeeds!
