Attn: C-123 vets with Agent Orange claims before June 18, 2015

Read the old VVA press release below! In early 2015 the President of the Vietnam Veterans of America, John Rowan, insisted VA treat C-123 aircrews and maintainers as VETERANS with full Agent Orange disability benefits. But the best VA would do is cover claims from June 18 2015 forward, not back to date filed. A partial but welcome victory.

Now we finally have two possible approaches to fix that and recover what is due. That's why I've been trying to get the name, telephone and SSAN of everyone who filed claims for Agent Orange illnesses prior to June 2015. VVA is helping by putting the word out on their web site. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO HELP YOU: CONTACT WES CARTER IF YOU'RE ONE OF THESE VETS, and get the word to our crewmates to do the same. A major law firm is providing pro bono help to us.

The lawyers are doing this for free, just as they did the C-123 claim settled on October 12 that awarded our comrade over four years of his 100% disability the VA owed...you can do the math!! (P.S.: $2,950 x 48 = $141,000.)

Spread the word, please. All I need is the name, year the first claim was filed, email and phone, and Social Security or VA claim number.

YOU CAN DO THIS – it wraps up six years of my hard work on your behalf and I want to do something else with my life!
