Thank you for using the "official" title of this landmark legislation just signed into law by our Commander-in-Chief. Although I may not have always agreed with what Senator John S. McCain had to say on a number of issues, I always had a deep respect for him as a Patriot and for his life of service to our country. It is my belief that he has consistently placed his love for his country, and its citizens, over his political party. It will be my honor to remember his sacrifices this coming September 21st, National POW/MIA Recognition Day.


It is also nice to see that our Veterans (and their families) are being afforded many of the benefits long due them. It would be wonderful if our government could finally admit that there were many of us who fell victim to all the environmental abuses so common during both war AND peace. We need more studies into the ground-water contamination at most DoD-facilities here in CONUS as well.
