Presumptive Agent Orange exposure responsible for Type II diabetes. My In Country time is limited to TDY trips in and around Vietnam having participated in several milk runs via Clark RPI based C-130B aircraft delivering supplies, doing Aircraft Maintenance Evals, and personnel training related tasks. Frankly I have been under hostile fire more as a civilian than when in uniform but for some reason Charlie was ticked at those oranges we were kicking out and fired a few rounds our way. Then he decided our chow hall at Cam Ranh wasn't up to code and remodeled it for us! I think I made four trips in and nothing longer than a week or so. So I do not consider myself a combat veteran since I had no weapon in hand at any time I was under fire. As a civilian though, I shot back! I agree that everyone has something to contribute; even me. {8<{)

Good news is we got him away from the va and he is seein a private DR.
Bad news it seems to be Hodgkins Lymphoma. Good news it's treatable. Treatment is starting next week.
My advice is don't trust the va.
I covet Your Prayers and suppourt.
John
