This week saw two articles about our C-123 veterans' long journey towards VA recognition of our Agent Orange claims. The National Journal covered us on October 8 lending their great influcence in the DC area with the article repeated in other publications including Government Executive.
The second was an interview in Portland, Oregon, of Dr. Fred Berman. Berman co-authored the February Environmental Research article, “Post-Vietnam Military Herbicide Exposures in UC123 Agent Orange Spray Aircraft.” I found this the most interesting, because the writer interviewing Dr. Berman "promoted" this major to an Air Force General.
Forgive me if I take a few days to savor this before offering a correction.
[T]he government’s interest in veterans cases is not that it shall win, but rather that justice shall be done, that all veterans so entitled receive the benefits due to them.” Barrett v. Nicholson, 466 F.3d 1038, 1044 (Fed.Cir.2006)
