| + | <html>July 8, 2013 8:47 a.m. In the 1970 s my father-in-law, now buried with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetery, retired from the Army with 33 years of service. I attended his hearing before a VA Board in Washington DC on his disability rating. Background: He was 17 when he joined the Army after Pearl Harbor was attacked. He was rejected by several military services before the Army accepted him. He was diagnosed with a medical condition: An aneurism on his heart, a genetic disease common for the men in his family. Upon retirement, the VA assessed him with a 30 percent disability. He deserved and was requesting a higher percentage after his service in 3 wars--WW2, Korean, and a half dozen combat tours in Southeast Asia--Viet Nam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand. He was shot and bayonetted in Korea,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Nike-49ers-53-Bowman-red-game-2013-Super-Bowl-XLVII-Jersey-29053/ Nike 49ers 53 Bowman red game 2013 Super Bowl XLVII Jersey], caught malaria in Southeast Asia, and suffered further heart deterioration probably as a result of his war service. The latter was documented in his military medical files which I read. During his military career, he was awarded the Soldier s Medal, The Bronze Star with several Oak Leave Clusters for Valor, and several Purple Hearts,[http://www.raspberrypi-fr.org/wiki/index.php?title=Utilisateur:Flattenut76#Numbers_Game-_Bruins_bring_in_Iginla Numbers Game- Bruins bring in Iginla], just to mention a few. At the end of the day, the VA Board ruled that the 30 percent was correct. Several years later, he suffered a massive heart attack at my house on a Thanksgiving Day weekend. I rushed him to DeWitt Army Hospital at Fort Belvoir,[http://www.ventmatrix.com/enterthematrix/index.php?title=User:Prosper95#Photos-_DJ_Pauly_D_celebrates_his_33rd_birthday_at_Haze_in_A Photos- DJ Pauly D celebrates his 33rd birthday at Haze in A], VA about 7 miles away from my home. The doctors and nurses there were outstanding and their actions saved his life for another 5 years. He died after another heart attack at the age of 58. He had been retired for less than 10 years. The VA was dead wrong. He deserved a 100 percent disability for serving as a Command Sargent Major for 33 years in the Army with a documented,[http://www.acupuncture-chicago.net/ AP IMPACT- MIA work 'acutely dysfunctional'], well-known, heart aneurism as part of his permanent medical records.
