I now have insurance, I got it once I was able to work again and once I was allowed to work.

I inquired about the bill too, through the VA to get it paid. They denied it since It wasn't an authorized VA hospital. I was denied my VA rights 4 times because "i seemed better".

VETS are being f'ed over by the Gov and medical crap, very badly and have been for years. Golf War Syndrome is real, people missing legs is real.. Why can't they get help, because they got jobs?

Learn why.. vets do this, learn why we are forced to do it. Then get your ass up and donate to your local vet orgization.

I am a member of the AL and SAL, my Dad was the Commander of the AL, my Mom currently works for them. My entire family supports and fights for vets rights..

I did what was right - I support any Vet that needs medical attention now and I do not think they should ever have to pay for it.. Even if you only did supply, you did something millions of others are to afraid to do.
This doesn't tell me what war you were in? I have friends that are active marines neither has seen any combat.One is doing IT in japan,the other does paperwork at a base in NC. Vets do get fucked over and how they still support this president baffles me.
