You are right with your statement. A retired Air Force Colonel I golf with
was in Vietnam. He has diabetes and various other ailments which have been
associated with Agent Orange. About a year ago I mentioned the Agent
Orange
program the military has been conducting. He knew nothing.

He's now getting almost double his retirement pay, and half of that is tax
free. It pays to keep up with the benefits.


I qualified for a Vietnam bonus that I never applied for.
(Harry would love to know why I didn't)

I wonder if I could still apply and get it, plus interest.
Nah.

Go for it.

It would be worth doing purely for the mental challenge.

You could always donate the money, if you're man enough to bust through the
maze and get it in the first place!
