Question Where are all the Vets at?

I can't believe theres only 6or7vets on this page. 39,000 vets have died since the end of the war and nobody wants to talk about it. Ladies and gentlemen we are dieing slowly everyday from the symtoms we brought home in which we gave to our wives kids girlfriends ect. I know I'am sick I can't work or hold a job down. No body hires people with PTSD, fibromyilgia with will be in about 5 yrs or less turn into MS,Parkinsonsor the worst ALS which is deadly. Well I'd better get off for now. talk to you all later . Mike

I feel both for you and with you. I was fired from my job and flagged by the unemployment office as a liability due to an undiagnosed medical condition without a treatment plan. Please feel free to talk all you want about it. My problems began in the blood and have continued to the point of permanent neurological damage. I am a 35 year old mother of 4, and thank God every day that I haven't passed this to my children. Sorry, I haven't been here in a little while due to a dispute at some other locations on the web. I am here now and will help you in anyway I possibly can.

Fellow veterans,
Please do not think that other, sick veterans that are still able to function as of now, are not doing anything.while I still can, I have made every effort to write to cogress,to the papers, and now I have signs on my vehicle that reads, In search of the cure; Gulf war Illness. everyday people read these signs, I put it in the publics face, lest we forget, most of the public already have or do not want to remember the fact remains,we are dieing, our memory fades daily , and for some , having the energy, willpower, or even the strength to get up each day is a task,remember one cannot stand alone in this fight, our numbers fall daily, keep the faith, and may your god bless each and every one of us,
paul

make me sick or break out. its been so long now if im still sick im so used to feeling this way i live with it. i didnt know 39,000 vets died, i dont know if any
of my friends got sick i dont know much. since i was a sailor im not sure anybody believes i got sick out there.
