Still feeling the effects of serving in Vietnam

“I served in Vietnam in ’69 and ’70, in the 101st Airborne artillery unit. It was an experience. Then the company I worked for put me on medical disability retirement.

“The VA says my problems come from Agent Orange, but I don’t know. I’ve got diabetes and that diabetic neuropathy, nerve deterioration. My eyesight isn’t real good, either, because I’m seeing double right now. I can look out here and see two of every vehicle.

“I’m just doing the best I can. I’ve got an appointment at the VA where they’re going to do an MRI and everything on my head to see what’s wrong. Ain’t going to find nothing up there, though.”
