Thanks FreeBird! It's guys like your dad that made it possible for me to carry on to fight for our country's freedom and now I'm just trying help others that have been left out get what they deserve. Funny, I almost lost my right knee to a rocket attack in Vietnam Oct. 5, 1969 and spent 2 weeks in the hospital over there. They gave me a Bronze Star & Army Commendation Medal but forgot my Purple Heart. I hear that Henry Brown is going to have a big deal to present it to me 40 years late. Huggy, Thank You very much! You sound as if you may be a Vet yourself and if so thank you for your service. I will be sure to check that website. Captahab, We have a mutual friend (Gary R.). I'm pretty sure you did but I'll take another. I'm sure that we will hook up soon both knowing Gary after he recovers from his surgery. Any friend of Gary is a friend of mine! Gary is a fine man and I'm d**n Proud to know him. Just so there is no confusion, I want everyone to know that I AM NOT a VET, but I Love them Dearly. And the Capt has done a lot of work for veterans and veteran causes.

Thanks to all of you! Those of you that are not Vets but support Vets play a bigger part in society than they think. Vets can comfort each other but when someone helps a Vet that isn't a Vet and extents their hand we all know these are one of the people that have stood behind us and knows Freedom doesn't come Free. To go to war and to come back a to be spit upon, called baby killers and constantly having to defend yourself wasn't much of a welcome. That's what makes you people special, we trust you and will defend your rights to the end. You put a bunch of Veterans in a room, they become all brothers and will protect each others back whether they know each other or not. I think I've said enough and getting away from the purpose of this forum. I found a great bunch of guys here and I'll be here for you. If you ever have any questions about Veterans benefits always feel free to email me!
