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.

Your husband is a hero to me...I have an uncle who was on the Japanese death march and he is still with us at 91....I was in Vietnam and the WWII stories that he tells me ,gives me a much deeper appreciation for his generation and how tough they were and to the wives to, they kept the war effort in high gear back home....The woman of then were just as tough...

THANK YOU
