I am so glad to see that many of you have received the benefits you so deserve. On June 12th my husband, Gary, had a kidney removed and a tumor removed from the femoral artery that has left him with limited use of his right leg. In total they removed 4 tumors from the abdomen in a 8 1/2 hour surgery. All these are related to Agent Orange exposure. I urge you, if you were boots on ground to file a claim and be examined at your local VA. The information given here is accurate. Thank you gentleman! Gary spent the last 5 weeks in Oakland VA for 2 weeks and 3 at Butler VA for rehabilitation, where I volunteer. He is now at home recuperating.

If any of you should become unable to ever work again because of a service connected disability you can also file with The VA for unemployability benefits. Check with your service officer of your local veteran's organization.

God bless you all, and thank you for your service.
