To Whom it May Concern,
I think the families of the victims from 911 should stop whining and count
their blessings. My husband -a Vietnam war veteran- who knowingly went to war
to defend this great nation with the knowledge he might die- is now waiting
-9 months I might add- to find out if he WILL be compensated for a related
ilness he has from going to Vietnam. Not WHEN BUT IF he will be compensated.
We have worked all our lives to be able to retire and hopefully live in
peace together. Now we have used our savings and mortgaged our home to the
hilt because he is off work and we are spending everything we have to keep
our heads above water. We have gotten no special treatment-no one is willing
to help with our house payments- or pay our bills- until we get back on our
feet! We must pay or be out on the street. We are losing the battle- so
don't expect us to feel sorry for someone who is getting a 1.4 million payoff
for the loss of a loved one. If my husband died today from his disease I
would get NOTHING except bankrupt! Thank You.
