richard vernon is 100% right . washington st. has to be the worst v a in the states . they left me laying in bed for over a year with my back untill i became crippled in my left leg . i finaly got medicare to pay for an operation, and i also am 100% disabled servic connected .so richard try medicare brother , its plain to see the va in washington state is not for vets . i am in debt a long ways because the va would not help me with my back , after hitting a land mine . not all va ,s are like washington state . carp moses lake washington state

Ive had a service connected ptsd claim since 89 from service in vietnam .And yet every 3 months the va dr,s treat me for high blood pressure and change my meds .With the new heart illnesses from agent orange i keep asking to be tested .And since i have added conditions from agent orange service connected like type 2 diabetes and hypertension .My doctors tell me because i am 100% ptsd they see no reason to explore my agent orange illnesses further so im just waiting to die from lack of va treatment

589th Sept67-Sept68 Thanks, Perry, for finding me. I didn't know you guys even exsisted. I see by the comments that a lot of you are experiencing health problems like me. I was just informed by the VA that my heart troubles might be a result of Agent Orange. I have just applied for restitution. We will see what happens. I almost died. They owe us!

Nick, Gald everything is working out for you . See about filing for unemployabilitie. Then you will be at a 100%. I really enjoy helping my BROTHERS get what we all deserve. DON'T GIVE UP.

I cannot tell you guys how much I appreciate Ralph and everyone telling me to go and register for the VA. I had my first real visit today and left with free prescriptions, an appointment to get free glasses and my special diabetic shoes are on order. All future care for my diabetes and heart problems and now free and provided by the VA. A big thanks to all of you for telling about this. If you have not gone yet go! I am glad I did!

Hey Steven, remember the river that we got our water from? Well, it was full of "run off" from up in the mountains. By the way, I was wounded in a ambush up the road from our LZ in Jan. 71. do you remember me? Welcome Home brother!
