Facts about Vietnam, 58,148 Americans were killed. Vietnam War summary, 304,000 were wounded from the 2.59 MILLION who served. Vietnam War Memorial? Vietnam War Statistics? 75,000 were severely disabled.
Casualties remembered? Some of them died alone.
Some live in continuing pain TODAY due to Agent Orange exposure. Many have peripheral neuropathy, both long nerve fiber neuropathy and short nerve fiber neuropathy.
Their claim is denied by US Government.
They suffer from pain due to Agent Orange, White, Blue, Pink and Purple, it's an added bonus to the casualties of war.
Don't forget these men and women who fought for you and continue to suffer on a daily basis, even NOW.
Lyrics
White Rabbit
(G. Slick)
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
When she was just small.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head"

I am a child of a vietnam vet. With sever paresthesia of both legs. I also have a rare skin condition, lupus, and sveral auto-immune issuse. I had uterin cancer, and ITP a rare blood disorder. Is their anyother children of vets out there with the same problems??
I was also a child born from a Vietnam Vet. As a child I too had a rare form of ITP that was treated with heavy steroid injections which drastically altered my body and health.
The VA has now reopened the Agent Orange case for many vets.
You can find more info on the case on the VA website:

Hope this info helps
