It's official

[pecunium]

I am a disabled vet.

The actual percentage is croggling, and the effects will be good, and (honestly) a bit life changing.

I am rated 80 percent disabled. I get a pension. If I read it right I also get PX privileges (I can go back onto the Presidio of Monterey again).

I don't know if it gets me schooling (I think I might be able to get some rehab money). I don't know what it gets me by way of tuition breaks in Calif.

I'll have to look into it.

It's a lot to digest.

Congratulations on the official recognition. That can be damned hard to get, as Jeff Stone's story (and too many others) illustrates. I hope the recognition opens useful doors for you.

One of the things which made me bark with laughter (I broke down a little bit when I read the letter... it was as in a movie, things just sort of fell away and I was at a stand... flipping the pages and not seeing them; after that the shaking and wailing), was the name over the signature... Ulrike XXXXXXXXXX.

Made me think of you.

Hugs.
