Senator Bernie Sanders is now the Chairman of the Senate VA Committee, and he can change the way veterans are treated. As many of you know I am a totally disabled veteran of military service, I served from the Vietnam Era, Oct 30, 1973- Sep 2, 1982 andthe Georgia National Guard from 1988 thru November 1990 when I was activated by federal orders for the first Gul War known as Desert Storm and was discharged in May 1991.
I became service connected in Dec 2003 for PTSD at 100% P&T and cardiac conditions at 100% level in June 2009 back dated to Dec 2003 for the effective date of disability. Like most other disabled veterans I lost my family to divore after I lost my house and autos to repossession due to not being able to pay the bills while I dealt with the VA Regional office attempting to get compensation for my medical issues.
