Veterans Risk - The ALS Association

Sucks to go to war and come home with all these different ailments PO1 John Miller and LTC Stephen F. LTC Stephen C.. Seems like each war has its own problems, Vietnam had Agent Orange and now Gulf War illness. I pray for our soldiers, the ones who have returned, the ones who may or may not come down with something and more importantly the ones who have not come home.

Thanks for letting us know PO1 John Miller that if you "a Gulf War veteran you may be at risk for ALS, AKA Lou Gehrig's Disease."

There are a huge number of unknown conditions related to Gulf War service, and we will continue to learn about them for decades, as we have with Agent Orange. At least the VA has been a little more proactive in compensation this time around...
