â??Trying to live out my final days without the help of the defunct Veterans Administration!  They kill more veterans than they help!  Sad, when I was working, I represented veterans and their families in all benefits available to veterans.  Never thinking one day I would having to fight for mine.  I know that I wouldn't never have let any claim by a veteran (Or, any family member) be denied what I have.  Having Stage 4 Lung Cancer, from my combat duty (Exposure to Agent Orange), while serving in Vietnam.  Being Service-Connected at 100% with Aid & Attendance, for the Cancer, and having other combat related disabilities, rated at over 100%, before the Cancer.   But can't get the doctor (From Pakistan/India) they assigned me (Primary-Care), for the past 2 years to keep give me my regular medication.  Or, to refer me to a Oncologist.  Finally, after I had to get the nursing Service, provided by the VA, to get involved.  He sent me to have a CT Scan, and showed the Cancer to be active.  He then referred me to one.  But she comes from a local teaching hospital, and her too is from India (Strange occurrence). But after seeing her 2 times and writing no Rx's for the regular medication they give me, or on and off.  Having as long as 6-7 months, without refills, and having to threaten them with legal action.  With all the latest scandals from all the mis/maltreatment by the VA Medical Centers, and action by Congress.  They can care less, no one brings them up on criminal charges.  And, the Obama Administration have been the worse contributors of these atrocities.  Meanwhile, I indent to keep fighting them until I die, then they can pay for that!

Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
Supported the 12th TFW (Deployed from Mac Dill AFB, FL In Oct 1965) new assignment at the Cam Rahn with the ROC Marines, 101st ARBN, US Army Hawk Missile Detactment while supporting all US Ground Forces, in S. Vietnam. And, later some Operations into N. Vietnam. The base was fully under construction upon our arrival, with PSP for Ramp Areas & Runways/Taxi-Ways. While not maitaining your asigned aircraft (Launch, Recovery, Pre-Flight, Post-Flight, maintaining specialist repairs, etc.) we filled sand-bags, and dug Fox-Holes. and Security Points, for Base Attacks.. While small portions of new Runways were being constructed with concrete...........But never used while we were deployed.  At the time it was estimated that 'Charlie' (Viet-Cong), civilian workers on the base was about 66%.  Paid by us during the day, kill us at night!
