By the way Welcome Home and thanks for what you did and have endured.





Write and get your units records which will reflect what action was going on and who was involved. Another thing you can contact the people you served with as a notarized statement from them will suffice and get you the awards and if applicable compensation. Write me if you need more info and I will do my best to help you. Oh, a thought contact the DAV and or the VFW and request their assistance.
