I just wanted to stick a little note up to let any Viet Nam Vets know that there is help for them via the VA, monitory as well as medically. Unlike folks with other cancers all a Viet Nam Vet has to do was be in the Viet Nam Theater to qualify. You don't have to have set foot on land or prove a date time or place. 38CFR3.313 is the key You can get help to obtain this by visiting http://www.bluewaternavy.org

Its about time somebody offered some help for the "Nam" vets. What did it take,35 years. The more recent war vets are still trying to be reconized as needing some help,but our government is turning up their noses so far.Too bad they are not ILLEGALs and the government would drive them to any facility they needed to go for FREE. Sorry about all the negative feedback,but when you are in situations where you or someone needs assistence it all comes to light. Too many people have their heads buried in the sand and never give it a second thought. They just go along with what the previous and new government tells them. It is a sad situation we are all in today. The sitting President openly signed an executive order in May 2011 denying assistence for Post tramatic war vets. The same day he signed a FREE health care plan for existing Illegals.Your tax dollars will pay for it as well.You did not hear that on the liberal news channel.FOX News tells it the way it is and backs it up with videos.

I am not a veteran however I worked as a technical advisor in VietNam for almost 3 years. (Camp Eagle, DucPho, DaNang, Tam Ky, Chu Lai, Phan Rang, DaLat, Saigon) There is something called the Defense base Act for people who worked overseas as government contractors to get workman's compensation. I am 90% deaf and have lymphoma, both of which are likely from my time in
