Thank you and bless you for your tenacity! The horror stories just keep coming, and yet the government is bussing/flying illegal immigrants all over the country, putting them up in hotels, giving them cash, EBT cards, ID cards. If they can manage this with millions of illegals, then they can certainly take better care of our vet…
Thank you and bless you for your tenacity! The horror stories just keep coming, and yet the government is bussing/flying illegal immigrants all over the country, putting them up in hotels, giving them cash, EBT cards, ID cards. If they can manage this with millions of illegals, then they can certainly take better care of our veterans! My father has shrapnel in his arm from a 1968 DustOff (medevac) mission he was flying under heavy fire. The shrapnel has shifted and is impinging on his ulnar nerve - he has been trying for years to get an MRI to see if surgery is possible. Last I heard, because it is not life threatening, it is not of concern and considered "elective"! Somehow, even if he loses the use of his hand, I doubt they will consider it a priority.
P.S. I know there are vets out there facing life-threatening illnesses that need to be treated now (or 6 months ago!), and they should go to the head of the line. It just is infuriating that we send billions, with a big fat capital B all over the world to countries that hate us, we allow illegal immigrants from countries that hate us to flood our borders, and we can't provide the best care to our veterans who gave the very best of themselves. Not to mention they have been experimented on with jabs, drugs, and poisons. It is owed to them the full measure of care - of any one group of Americans, they alone have EARNED it.
Kathleen,

And he also needs to be concerned with illnesses because he was exposed to Agent Orange while in Vietnam.
He is 80 and except for a bit of hypertension, he has not had any issues of which I am aware. He rarely communicates, so I don't have all the details.

Hypertension was recently added to the list of presumptive illnesses associated with exposure to Agent Orange.

Thank you for the info, I will pass it along.
