By the way. Any Viet Nam veterans here should contact your closest Veterans Administration. Go to the Veterans Services office. You are qualified for Veteran's Disability for just being "in country". Many health problems have been found to have been caused by chemicals that were commom in Nam. Breathing problems, heart problems, mental problems, ETC. There is money there waiting for you. Even a 10% disability is $ in your pocket. I am going through the program now.

so many folks are "in the program".....hmmmmmmmmmm? wheres that take our kids bearing this additional burden?

Son-in-Law heads out for 2nd deployment Monday, Iraq this time. He's 11 Bang-Bang. My daughter is distraught. They've been married three years, he's been gone over 2. She will move back home while he is away. I spent some time at Lost-in-the Woods in the 70's. Went to a heck of a Rock and Roll concert at Sedelia, Mo. God bless all who have served and who are serving, I pray your sons return home safe.

micmac ,please give your son inlaw our regards,godspeed. 1 was an 11b also,did my time in korea and ft. lewis wa.

Chiefrider, thank you very much. I just my daughter gets her husband back one day. I ain't sure what this multiple tour stuff does to all involved. I got a buddy who's son is a Navy Corpsman, been in 6 years, been in combat 5. I travel by air frequently, airports are full of troops. I hope and pray that these guys/gals get better treatment then the men and women of our era, many of who yet have been able to access services due to red tape some 40 years on. Thanks for your service.

God Bless all those who serve our country....I pray daily for their safe return.
