December 24, 2014:  Benton Harbor's newspaper, the Herald Palladium,  reported that some Michigan veterans' evidence sent to the Central Mail Processing (CMP) in Newnan, Georgia was never scanned nor added to the veteran's claims folder (C-File) at the Regional Office.  See: http://www.heraldpalladium.com/news/local/va-efficiency-drive-creating-headaches-for-vets/article_4b08a322-356e-5856-ac9c-751cf0511e25.html .

December 12, 2014: Probably the best TV series about Vietnam was "China Beach" from 1988 to 1992. The entire series is now for sale on disc. See  http://timelife.com/products/china-beach-the-complete-series?gclid=CIvN7_HUwsICFeOPMgodMAUATw .. Superb talent and writing gave millions of Americans their first positive look at my war by viewing dedicated U.S. Army medical personnel treating horrible casualties. Army veteran Harold Russell who lost both arms during World War II won an Academy Award for his disabled veteran role in "The Best Years of Our Lives" in 1947. Russell, much older in the 1990's, played the same role in "China Beach". My favorite scene was Nurse Lieutenant McMurphy (Dana Delany) at a stateside VA hospital in a skimpy hospital gown awaiting treatment sitting next to an old World War II veteran patient (also in a skimpy gown) who whispers to her, "They treat us all this way".

December 5, 2014: Would a Regional Office lie about not receiving a veteran's appeal in certified mail?     Read more.

November 11, 2014: I was honored to be invited to make a short Veteran's Day speech after the Greenville, NC Veteran's Day parade on the town commons. The main speaker was unable to attend and I was a last minute choice. See http://www.reflector.com/news/veterans-day-themes-peace-benefits-2707301 . The Daily Reflector staff writer Michael Abramowitz was very kind to me based on my hurried preparation. Click to hear my speech audio.
