But what of , or is peace of spirit in this life?
A friend I mended fence with, (A safety issue disputed caused a parting) was told he was no longer eligible for V.A. medical due to his wife working.
A former Nam vet..
So his lump went un-operated on. Of course not being diagnosed was part of the why.
Now it has become more than a knife can cure and chemo and radiation are on deck.
All I could offer was to suggest he seek an advocate to communicate with the V.A. as to how he was not eligible and if it was due to his wifes income.
And to propose some fishing come summer.
Just to have something down the road to consider beyond his family worries.
It hurts to hear of this.
Certainly the VA has taken shots recently...rightly so.
Bureaucracy? Politics?
Which I saw coming and resumed my academic pursuits to be qualified to help.
A few moths ago, I attended a meeting with Congressman Doug Collins, Senator Isakasen and Bob McDonald who was previously the CEO of Proctor and Gamble.
The open meeting was held at the College auditorium.
I'm sure that I have pics around here somewhere.
The gist of the meeting was centered upon a program of easing the increasing volume, leading to increased wait time, using "local, private, 'co-providers.'"
A couple of links to peruse....
Secretary Robert A. McDonald - Office of Public Affairs
Health Programs for Veterans - Veterans Health Administration
If I can help in any way, Please let me know....
Best,

PS.
I had an idea today to meet sometime with Congressman Collins to see about establishing a Georgia "Cold War Veteran" license tag!
This is the only tag I'm qualified for.

It's a "new" tag available.
ADDED:
The form required for Veteran Tags in Georgia.
