    Default 09 Swap of the Month

    Ol Blue

    I very much want to commit but am unable to to do so as I start therapy for HEPC in Jan. Teffects of this type of chemo can be nebulas or very bad for the one under going the TX. Therefore, I can't say for sure if I can commit, so with heavy heart, I have to decline.

    Stats show that 1 0f 5 Viet Nam Vets is inflicted with this virus that is uncurable but treatable. The Government will not declare it a service connected illness but they have stopped using jet guns in innoculating recruits since the mid 90's. Not all of us Nam Vets were drug shooting/snorting maniacs we are made out to be. Do some research and write to your elected leaders about this travistry. I pity our trops in Iran/ Iraq and elsewhere as what do we know about the illnesses they may come down with in 30 plus years (like it has done for the Nam Vet).

    sorry for my soapbox but the threat of the treatment effects and dying are all to real to me.
    Just another VFW (Vet F...... by Washington)
