So far these 34 Deaths in November 2010 and the one from October included we want to continue to remember them and their survivors. We have no data if any or all or a part of these were receiving Disability from the VA or were rated service connected. We do not know if the VA even has all of these recorded because some died for sure with no VA Rating, No VA C file, etc. or are never seen by the VA. This list presenting for honor today continues to number 35 . Well over one a day gulf war veterans 90-91 are dying. These are historical data that shows as Mr Perot said the largest post war morbidity/mortality to date.

A new organization provides service of true value to veterans. Many companies are finally seeing the many needs of veterans and are stepping up to the plate to help veterans. So much is needed in the area of helping veterans this is a step forward. Veterans needs are so often neglected because they just are not seen or visualized. We need Oprah and all those Doctor shows on main stream media to truly focus on VETERANS and the many needs that are not answered for those that have given their lives to this country.

Lawyers who are specialists in the International Law of Armed Conflict, War Crimes Law to the rest of us, say the uranium smoke, dust and shrapnel must be able to be turned off when the battle is over. Too bad. Uranium gas is a radioactive and electrically charged poison forever.

An "expert" just came out and set us back 40 years on PTSD. He thinks there is no effective treatment and that time will take over. In other words, "get over it" leaving veterans to think there is no hope again. Here we have a major line of BS from an "expert" on PTSD.

COMBAT VETERANS FOR CONGRESS is a thinly veiled front organization for AIPAC, the Israel lobby, oil companies, the "bankster" and insurance lobbys and right wing extremists. This is another rehash of the mindless hag, Sarah Palin, "Hanoi John" McCain and his front man "Bud" Day, America's most questionable Medal of Honor holder and Wall Street money. This is a phony organization, to its roots, un-American, destructive to honorable American values and, from top to bottom, genuinely EVIL.
