I definitely understood your purpose ... I hope you understood what I was saying. Many of my friends still have to fight the VA and a thousand and one alphabet soup agencies trying to get the coverage for illnesses that they believe were caused by their exposure to Agent Orange ... some have succeeded but some are
STILL fighting the fight while time works against them.
Our memories are still as fresh as the day we lived in a nightmare world while at the same time, there are so many people living today that have no idea what we were exposed to so many years ago.
I realise that it is a little easier today to submit the necessary paperwork and have the necessary investigations into your records carried out ... but ... the fact remains that Uncle Sam still has a long way to go responding to warriors who (through no fault of their own) are still suffering the aftereffects of a war so many people were dead set against.
