Subject: Agent Orange- My Dad survived the war, in 1970 but its killing him now in 2012

Hi All,

First.. Thank You for for your service...

I am looking for anyone else in a similar situation.. my Dad served in Vietnam, made it home safe.. Long story short, he suffers incredibly- mentally and physically every day. His favorite thing used to be playing golf, for the past seven years he can't hold a golf club because of his arthritic hands.. even if he could, one swing and he could dislocate his shoulder... He can't do anything- although... he still musters up enough strength to march in the memorial day parade every year. Its amazing. The Legion offers him a car, and he says, I will walk- doesn't matter how much pain hes in, how many pills he has to take to finish, he always does.. amazing..

So back to my story- he is a disabled veteran, he gets benefits... i don't have to get into how awful his PTSD is and how his body is in terrible shape- you all know this. You are prob living it... Why? Why did this happen? Whats this, "lie lie until they die" crap I'm hearing? I am so beyond pissed off- I want to do something about this. My dad, as unlucky as he is, is lucky enough to get benefits. There are so many families that get nothing! Why? I want to tell thier story and make gov't pay for what they did. Im so pissed off, that my dad won't get to see my daughter grow up. We are waiting on results now for Multiple Myloma- and Hep C.. his blood protien levels are sky high.. body scan next week. this is all just crazy... I want to help the families that are getting denied benefits. Anyone else who is game, email me at akc1213@gmail.com

I'm fired up and ready to call attention to this. I look forward to your support, and again, thank you for your service.
