  1. Stumbled across this fun article I think you'll enjoy: http://www.slate.com/articles/life/human_guinea_pig/2003/08/full_metal_racket.1.html "Now that your metal detecting is over—and believe me IT'S OVER—we will think of it as a hideous family episode, like something out of a Pat Conroy novel, that we must put behind us and never discuss again." p.s. you can listen to it here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1400217
  2. Oh, no doubt there are many fine folks working at VA, Paul, and I'm not disparaging you all. These forums are pretty much people having issues and seeking help with them so there will be success stories and many vets you won't hear from again after that. I've had varying care at VAs across the nation same as civilian healthcare. Same as when I was a troubleshooter for phone systems; I dealt every day only with the problems people were having so it can be tough to deal with after awhile. But the nation certainly has gratitude for all of you who work hard, not just for vets, but for anyone.
  3. Returning veterans have no idea what kind of fight they're in for trying to get help or benefits from the VA. There are success stories for some who encounter little resistance or receive good health care. Every day on veterans forums like hadit.com or vets.yuku.com, there are more agonizing struggles of broken and battered veterans slipping into poverty in confusion over why their country makes it so difficult to claim promised help. An example this morning: "My son Jonathan was a Navy Corpsman during the Persian Gulf War. He suffered from PTSD and other medical issues...." From his wife: "He was continually denied compensation by the VA for PTSD and Gulf War Syndrome. Sadly, on December 21,2013, he took his life..."http://www.hadit.com/forums/topic/54212-a-sad-loss/

  11. Met a rockhound in Santa Fe coffee shop this morning and was telling him of Rob's good name. Goes for you also, Doc. You've gone above and beyond for me and it's appreciated and passed on more than y'all know. "A good reputation is more desirable than great wealth..."
