About Me
I am a disabled Vietnam veteran of the US Marine Corp who served our country honorably. While in the Marines, I received a combat injury when shrapnel hit my mouth and upper jaw, shattering my teeth and disaligning my jaw. After initial surgery immediately after the injury, I was offered a medical discharge but chose to remain and continue to fight with my unit. When I returned home, I was qualified as 10% disabled and told that I could not continue to receive dental care for my combat injury because of a loophole that only allows those who are 100% disabled to receive dental care from the VA. I have been fighting this ruling ever since without much success. I have tried everything I know to do except public protest and civil disobedience. I continue to suffer a great deal every single day. I am asking for your help to use your clout to help me (and other disabled veterans) to get justice. Please contact me as soon as possible, I really need your help.
