Risingstar, thank you so much for your appreciation. I am thankfuf that my son and all other generations of soldiers, sailors and airmen are these days returning to a nation grateful for their service and sacrifice.

As to your cousin, I well understand what he is going through. I had my own direct exposures to that chemical, and my father, a career soldier (who began as an officer in horse cavalry), died of AO-related cancers as a result of his service in Vietnam.

Please, on my behalf thank you cousin for his service.
