Thanks Brothers !
I will let you know how I made out.
Even though I rated the monthly check since 1990 ..I never drew it because all I could think of was some vet who needed it more than me in far worse shape.
Civilians could never understand this.... but we do.

I had to get one foot amputated and the (good) one isnt doing so well is why I need some assistance.

Thanks and let me know if you need anything out of Santo Domingo..im on watch !
