Landing On the Beaches of Tucson

Holy cow, Batman, this world of cyberspace sure has alot of booby traps. So we are back at Base Camp now, and ready for the next mission. Lots of comments during our first beach landing that went MIA during the Operation. Hope you all find your way back to the Hill!!
So, out of curiosity, how many of you have seen an old movie with John Ritter entitled: “Unatural Causes?”. I had not until recently. It is the true story about the discovery of the problems associated with Agent Orange, and the tenacity of one VA Benefits Officer, who exhibited uncommon courage in her relentless push to get medical attention to men who were dying from exposure to Dioxin. We lost many Marines and soldiers during the 1980’s to this condition before the VA caved in to the overwhelming evidence to support claims. Thanks to one driven woman named Maude DiVictor, at the Chicago VA, where I was first treated, we can now work on preventive care. It is this level of humanity that inspires this BLOG. I got your back.

  1. What Mike’s trying to say at the beginning of this post is that his password wasn’t working for no fault of his own and it took site administration goobers a couple of days to fix it for him.

  2. The movie sounds interesting.

    My Uncle Ed was exposed to Agent Orange and because of that, decided to never have any children.
    Luckily, he met a wonderful woman who was a single Mom with two daughters, and they have been the best cousins to me!

    1. If the world only knew how many Vietnam Combat Veterans were terrified to have children. When my first son was born, I was in a state of bliss that he was born without defects. The Creator blessed me by waiting 30 years to deliver complications from Agent Orange. Thanks for chiming in to our site.
