Thanks everyone. Good to know there are still some out there who respect our heros. Freedon is not free.

Apologies for this rant, but...

We as a nation have treated those great Americans that served in Nam horribly and with utter disrespect. Sgt. Major lived a heroic life..sorta James Bondish, chasing Che, etc.
He faced the enemy...fought the enemy and prevailed.
Sadly, he succumbed to AO, “made in USA”

The government will never admit “guilt” regarding Agent Orange exposure.
That is shameful.

Your sentiments are appreciated. True they may never admit guilt in this or many other dangers faced by our military personnel and the general public, including round-up and other chemicals allowed in our food supply and personal products that have long been banned in most other civilized countries. However, I should note that after a long battle he had been granted 100% disability and monetary compensation based on multiple things including PTSD, serious back injury and Agent orange exposure. They will be applying for additional assistance based on his death being secondary agent orange exposure. It won't bring him back but it will help my mother-in-law.
