Gulf War Veterans Listen up! ALL I have two or three more obits I am working on again early age group! Just in a couple of days time period. Again 39 years old sudden death! Please all I do not have many details just the obits but something is happening. These are our youngest 39-18 = 21 yrs old in the gulf war. If these are heart attacks or strokes based on hypercoagulation problems please do not ignore any symptoms you have!
Immediately get medical attention! Go to a civilian ER if that is the closest to you! Also please avoid further exposures to pesticides or other materials ie paints, crop dusting, chemicals that may compound your exposure! Also if you are feeling no one cares you are wrong! There are alot still pushing to get us cared for appropriately. UTSWMedical ie Dr Hailey was under attack but the university responded in full force and countered the attack successfully! So do not give up if you need someone to talk to that understand I and others are here on computer and phone lines! If you call the 1-800 number and still feel desperate reach out to us by email and we will get on phone with you! [email protected]. WE are a chain of survivors do not let them win this battle!
Also get buzy on facebook you can set up a unit specific page re Desert Storm/Gulf War/your unit. That way we can reconstitute units virtually. Let us know when you set up these pages and we will publish a list and circulate. This way we can have roll call and triage! And help compile our own data. If the VA and DOD cannt do it we must because it is our lives and we can control a bit of this!
I am also open to take your stories what happenned in theater and once you came home and trying to get help. Pictures etc. check out www.veteranstoday.com You may not be able to get to testify and be heard but this is one way. The other way is to write your congressman and senators and VA House and Senate VA, going quiet is not an option!
Your elected Reps are at home in their office the next week for their at home work week, go see them!
Support each other! Do not give up!
Roll Call! Salute Guns Taps
