My husband was in the US Army (1967-1969) where he served in Vietnam as a Forward Observer and was awarded the Bronze Star. He survived unharmed only to pass away last year from non-Hodgkins Lymphoma which the VA has classified as a service-related disability because of exposure to Agent Orange. We had 32 years together never even imagining something like this could happen 40 years later.

Father: U.S. Army 1942-65 1 Army Soldiers Medal - Heroism; 3 Purple Hearts; 1 Silver Star; 4 Bronze Stars; military tours in Germany (WWII and post WWI), Japan, Korea (Korean War) U.S.; embassy assignments all over (died 3 months after medical discharge as a Colonel [mustang])

Brother: U.S. Army -- Purple Heart, Bronze Star; 3 tours in Vietnam

To those who served, thank you.

Thank You.

Quite a distinguished military family!
