You support our troops, right?
Maybe even got a warm and fuzzy little bumper or window sticker? Did you know that way more than four hundred thousand American First Gulf War Veterans are sick and dying? Between 10,000 to 12,000 Gulf war vets had already died as of January, 1996?. That the latest from the Veterans Administration is denial of Gulf War Syndrome's existence?
About all that anyone has suggested to correct this problem is for upstanding citizens like you to get off dead-center and contact your elected officials about it. Ask why these young people who stood in your place (regardless of whether you think the cause was just) have to be treated like third class citizens. Please make it so!
Joyce Riley is a veteran and registered nurse who has worked tirelessly for our veterans afflicted with this syndrome. She presently serves as spokesperson for the American Gulf War Veterans Association. Some info and further reading is presented for your perusal below.
