Hepatitis C's Movement for Awareness March on DC May 23, 2003 Most Americans with HCV Are Veterans. 1,410,750 are Vietnam War Vets. More need for service connection for U.S. Military Veterans because of "AIRGUN/JET INJECTOR INOCULATIONS" we were given in basic training, before going overseas http://hcvets.com/index.html UNDISPUTABLE DOCUMENTATION was presented both at the Veterans Administration's, Department of Health & Human Resources, to members of the various committees both Houses of Congress, and other governmental agencies. The documentation showed the growing statistics and more need for service connection for U.S. Military Veterans because of "AIRGUN/JET INJECTOR INOCULATIONS" they were given in basic training, before going overseas, AND AT THE SAME TIME GIVEN TO PUBLIC GRAMMAR SCHOOL CHILDREN; and the need for the Social Security Administration to have HCV declared a "PRESUMPTIVE DISABILITY" for Civilians. 5,126,344 Americans with HCV http://www.census.gov/main/www/cen2000.html From: Norm Seiff, Asst.

PTSD SYMPTOMS
. . Contributed By Sgt. Rod "Smitty" Smith On Tuesday, February 04, 2003
The following list is of symptoms of PTSD that Vietnam vets were never told existed. This list came from a V/A/ sattelite office. Depression, sleep disturbance, anger, survivor guilt, fits of rage, anxiety, memory impairment, flashbacks, negative self image, tendency to react under stress with survival tactics, loss of interest in work and activities, difficulty with authority figures, problems with intimate relationships, fantasies of retaliation and destruction, emotional distance from others, inability to talk of war experiences, distrust of govt., hyper-sensitivity to injustice, sucidial feelings and thoughts, avoidance of activities that arouse memories of traumas in the war zone! These were never told to the average Vietnam vet, so here they are! Use these symptoms to help with a claim for PTSD and good luck to all, Semper Fi!

PRESERVING THE MEMORY
. . Contributed By Jason C. of Phoenix High School On Thursday, February 06, 2003
Hello. I was wondering if anybody knows of a good company that builds custom memorials. I haven't had much luck finding one. The reason I ask is because my school is going to try to get a memorial put up in the city of San Jose for all those from here that died in Vietnam.
