Thanks Steve!!!!!

Rec'd the UU kit for my brother. I called him and let him know it was here, read him your note Steve, he said thanks. Not many of the Vietnam vets rec'd a thank-you for service, he was touched. He lives in Fargo so won't be able to get his kit to him until the holiday. (thanks for the blanks for me, and juice for him) I really hope this works for him, for being 60 with COPD and a disabled vet he's not in to good of shape.

Sheryl,
What a great thing to do for your brother! My hubby is a Vietnam vet, the vets of that 'war' seem to have some strange health issues. Was your brother exposed to agent orange? Praying that he takes to vaping right away!

 

[Sheryl]

Yes, he was exposed to agent orange, he was a helicopter gunner for close to 2 years. He finally applied for disability 2 months ago, said before that he didn't want to take advantage of the system. (I convinced him to go in to the VA, took me 3 years but he finally went. He knows he qualify s, he's just waiting for the % of disability, etc. Should know in the next week or 2) He's also a 2 pack a day smoker, passes out from coughing, pneumonia all the time or bronchitis. He definitely needs to quit, if anyone does. He was in a car accident 3 months ago, passed out from coughing.They found lung nodules and kidney lesions, he's awaiting his test results now from last Tues. to see if these changed. Poor health for a 60 year old anyway. It sure as heck doesn't pay to get old, those in my age group (and older) understand. I hear often about "the golden years" not being so golden. Kudo's to your hubby and all that served. I feel sorry for the nam vets, they were not thanked, and returned home with no acknowledgment. I feel the soldiers now rec. the welcome they deserve, just wish the nam vets would have as well.

Yeah, it was a rough life for them! 2 yrs in-country with no cell phone, no e-mail, no calls home, just the old snail mail if they ever got any or if they were lucky. Your brother is lucky that the VA is willing to help out, most of the time they won't acknowledge that AO has anything to do with their health problems.
I'll keep your brother in my prayers! you're a good sister! all Vets should be so lucky!

Our hearts, and prayers go out to your brother, I just missed the war, but, had many many friends at Madtown(Madison UofW) who were really affected by it. Anything we can do to help, please, let me know.

Enjoy
