I'm still alive and though I don't often drop by, when I do and something that interests me I'll watch for a couple of days and maybe make some posts. Other than that, I'm too busy with other concerns so I don't spend much time on any forums.

I've mentioned it before that I'm heavily involved in getting the Agent Orange Act of 2009 passed. That bill, if we can get it passed, will RETURN the benefits a good number of Vietnam Veterans had that were illegally taken away by the Department of Veterans Affairs in 2002. It's been a long struggle and over the last couple of years, and particularly the last year, I've become more and more involved. That leaves little time for other things. Since we, the Vietnam Veterans, are dying at a rate of around 300 per day we, as an entity, won't be viable by 2020. Our average age of death is approximately 12 years sooner than the non Vietnam Veteran so it's imperative we get this done so many of us can get the health care we need and possibly extend our lives.

Good luck with those efforts!

 

It's always struck me as the worst kind of hypocrisy when a nation sends its soldiers to fight and die and then denies them compensation and treatment for injuries and diseases resulting from that service.

Glad to see you are still 'round these here part, Bill!

Absolutely, it does. Yes, it is the worst kind of hypocrisy. Now there are illnesses from the Gulf War that the government does not want to admit are due to action in the ground in Iraq.

Good work, Dak.

[daklander]

Thanks for the good wishes my friends. You too can help simply by contacting your Senators and urging them to cosponsor S1939, the Senate version of the Agent Orange Act of 2009.

Yup, I agree.
