| C&P today. Was a waste of money the VA could save. She was just a secretary writing down what my Doctor sent and my county vet commission sent..She said I will have to file for an increase. Oh well I will wait and see.. |

| The VA has created a huge industry by farming out the C&P exam system. I think I am on my fourth or fifth company and none have been helpful or even respectful. The best you can do is cooperate and ask for alternatives to their demands if they are burdensome or plain weird. Let us know about your experience. |

| Feb. 8, a day that I will remember forever. My best friend Leroy Peter was killed in a grenade accident on LZ Colt Feb. 8 1968. I live with that memory stamped in my mind. Miss you Pete, Stoney. |

| C&P exam coming up for Bladder cancer. Anyone know what to expect? Do they fight you ? Response: As bladder cancer is recognized as Agent Orange related, you should not have any problem. You will probably receive a temporary 100% rating retroactive to the date of your claim. After treatment they will reevaluate you and adjust your rating depending on the outcome of your treatment. Good luck. Ken (Editor) |

| William Gardiner: Bladder cancer is one of the conditions the VA recognizes as being related to or caused by Agent Orange. Be sure to file a claim or add this any current claim with the VA. Make sure whatever organization is helping you knows about your diagnosis ASAP. Good luck. |

| I just read the book Rain In Our Hearts. Having read over 65 books on the Vietnam War, this one ranks at the top. I was in D Co. 3/21 during the April-May Hiep Duc period. All four 3/21 companies had KIAs and WIAs in the Que Son Valley during that time. The book brought back vivid memories of D Co. losses and tears for the men of A Co., 4/31 covered in the book. |
