The recent delay has been to add veteran loans to the budget for Blue Water vets. What has it to do with Blue Water Vets. Nothing, but just another way to redirect money./

The need is and has been for over 40 plus years to add Agent Orange presumptive exposure to Blue Water Vets_ if they have a condition listed.. The number of Veterans a live today is very small, compared to the CBO estimate.

They should vote to extend benefits to Navy men...my uncle that was in the Navy got his "Agent Orange" settlement a few years ago.. not exactly sure how, but he did.

There were some who received the settlement because they have known about the exposure for years and just wanted to keep it quiet. The others were denied and did not know how to appeal. Health and Human Services estimated by 2015 the majority of those who served in Vietnam would be gone. CBO has overestimated those alive today to pump up the budget. But I am happy now for those who will be acknowledged. We have President Trump to thank. He has done a lot to improve the care for Veterans and the now the Mission Act will start June first. April 29th was the end of the Choice Program, and it is an unknown if TriWest will continue... TriWest is making the transition difficult.. but we are all going to be happy with the Mission Act. It is very good, again thanks to President Trump./ Semper Fi
