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

9 January 2006, 06:35

from a military wife raising hell with the gaurd. I would like to let you know there is a way you can get help. Go to the veterans hospital and talk to one of the social workers there they do have a check that can help you and you family. I know what it is like to be in the strane that you and your family is in. I sent my husband over seas perfectly healthy and recieved a sick duck so to speak. He was constantly complaining of stomach problems, diarrea, and vomitting. We did not know what it was and had went to plenty of civilian doctors and they could not find out. After $13,000 later I decided to take him to the veterans because that is what my dad told me to do. I took him there after reaching a fever of 103.7. They admitted him into the hospital and ran test only to find out that he had gall bladder problems, crohns disease, constant tonsillitis, IBS, and ptsd. The hole time his unit was thinking that he was crazy now they know that he his not. There was something wrong with him and it took 8 months for them to find it all out. Now he recieves va compensation or disability and unlimited visits for the rest of his life for what the have found out. That helps us all out a little bit better knowing they are there, but now the military wants to raise ten times kind of hell with him ever month that he goes to drill and I am not putting up with it. What are they going to do put you out that may be the best thing because you see how they are going to treat you they are not going to help none what so ever. They think they are giving you something when they are not giving you all nothing at all you all have earned everything they are doing and that is not much. I appreciate everything that the troops pase present and future are doing for us by protecting our freedom but they obviously don’t. By the way I come from a long line of military. I was born that way, raised that way, married the first time into that and got divorced, now remarried to another military person. All I can say is I wish you and your family the best of luck and get well soon.

Thanks,
one pissed off military wife
