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.

Have you ever thought about when Harry went to Viet Nam? He stated he
graduated from college, then went to work for Kansas City newspaper,
then went to Yale, then worked as a Union organizer in Chicago. I guess
he must have done Viet Nam after high school before college. Army
Generals prefer to hire kids just out of high school.
