<font color=yellow>Well at least admittance is a starting point! Who knows, maybe by the time I'm as well aged as 'Hugh' we will be eligible for disability through association of the event. A shame really, he did three tours in Nam, Silver Star with cluster, Bronze Star with cluster and three purple hearts, he is slowly passing from cancer through ingestion of agent orange, but his VA claimant cannot get verification of throat cancer through agent orange, go figure!</font>

"Veterans Exhibit Brain Differences
Week of May 14, 2007

Veterans of the first Gulf War who developed numerous health complaints have areas of the brain that are measurably smaller than those of healthier vets, according to a new study. The results of the U.S. government-funded study provide some of the first hard evidence that veterans from the 1990 to 1991 conflict are suffering from a real neurological illness, researchers say. The findings are preliminary and do not confirm that wartime exposures changed the veterans' brains, only that differences exist".
