My father as mentioned above next to my name, had a history of kidney stones, Crohns Disease, Bergers Disease, PTSD, and array of other health problems. He passed on the auto immune diseases to me and I passed them on to my children. He died in 1996 due to complications of the medications to treat above illnesses, they told me me, it was pancreatitis but I know it was pancreatic cancer. However, I was only 25 at the time, I was not as informed as I am today. I do know my dad was a medic on a medical ship where he went in the rice patties as he called it and was responsible for bringing back the deceased and giving medical attention until he could bring the wounded back to the ship for the Doctors to take over. I would be happy to get into more detail and in hopes to help help other veterans get what they deserve as my dad never received any benefits or treatment ever and all his medical problems were passed to down to me, which I passed down to my children.
