I've now had over 40 years in the military and my committment to preserve our freedom was developed as I spoke with Col Day as we flew from Hanoi to Clark AFB in March of 1973. Have you had any luck tracking him down?? Sincerely, Gary Eckert Hi Tracy,

George Day. I am 50 years old, and wore his MIA bracelet, until his return. I remember him getting off the plane on his return to California. Today is Memorial Day and I was thinking of him, and found all this wonderful information. Would love to email him or facebook him to tell him I have always wondered about him, and to thank him for all he did for our country!!! I would love an email address for Col. George Day.

My loving husband died three years ago from agent orange. After two years of me trying, I finally got a letter from the VA saying that he did die of Agent Orange and I was going to get his benefits, well that was over six months ago. After multiple calls to the VA and visiting our so-called local VA reps. I was told the only way they would expidite my claim was if I was destitute and on the streets. How sick is that? I get to lose my house, my car, and my life before they give me what my husband deserved before he died. Well I sent all the notices from the car company the electric company and all the rest to no avail, they really do want me on the streets. He offered his life for this Country and they took it willingly, he carried Agent Orange for his Country when they asked him to,and he did it without an argument. But when he needed help our Country the VA said no you don't have Agent Orange that was in the 70's when he first started having heart problems. Well the letter I received from the VA says we know he had agent Orange due to the medical treatments he received in Viet Nam before he even left ...so they knew he had it way back then and would not help him. Well the end result is that he died a very painful death with cancer in almost every organ of his body, prostrate, pancreas, colon, every organ was effected. I hope no new young people get envolved with the Military because I'm afraid of the lies they will be telling you. So the end for now is I have had my phone shut off, car can't be used because I couldn't afford my insurance and soon they will forclose on my home...then the VA won't have anywhere to send the benefits and I really do believe that is what they are waiting for. They only said they would go back to when he died, so thats fine just do it and quit lying it could save me from living on the streets. If anyone can help me please e-mail a flfeathers@yahoo.com Thank you I am the Widow of a Viet Nam Vet. My loving husband died three years ago from agent orange.

I am a 100% disabled veteran with a rare nerve disease. And what they have endured nerve wise very few understand the true depth of pain it can cause. I can't begin to imagine what they suffered both physically and mentally. They are and always will be my hero's.
