> 400 Disabled Veterans Raise Hell At Congressional Hearings On VA Budget

While I don’t know the circumstances regarding Buyers Bronze Star I do know you don’t have to have been in combat to get one. Buddy of mine was in the Engineers in ’Nam. Never fired a shot in anger, was never ambushed but has a Bronze Star. When he applied to the VA for PTSD and used the Star as a stressor, they told him. Not without the "V" device. I’m a staunch Republican but, this Buyers has to go and fast. All that stuff about the $250.00 fee for registering and increased fees for meds was NOT approved so I don’t see why it keeps coming up, other then typical Democratic scare tactics.
