It is my understanding that the feasibility study has been completed and is with the MINISTER for Vet Affairs so he can give a go/no go to the actual study into the health of the children of Vietnam Vets, also known as COVVHS or Children of Vietnam Veterans Health Study.

Go to this site & u only need to read the first 3 odd pages to gain an opinion. It is about A.O. usage in SVN even though the page is Gulf War Vets Heading.

Maureen,
Keep up the good work,
David

I am from Columbus, Ohio, USA
I am the father of two daughers. Both have psychiatric disorders and both on medication.
My younger was said to be suicidle.
Hope something is determined.
Of the other information I have gathered, the info from Australia is the best and up to date and seems to lead the way for the VA in the states.
I just found out the effects on children of Vietnam Verterans, beside Spina Bifida, Cleft palates, or absent of body parts.
Now the question is how do I prove it.
Thanks

Welcome aboard Dave of Ohio. It's good to see that you have, like me found some very interesting and helpful postings on this site. It is amazing how much information has been withheld by the Governments in the name of Dollars saved.

The Aftermath of War



We found a wounded veteran,

And held him in our hearts.

We've seen the bravest soldier,

Break down and fall apart.



Yet we love our heroes,

Like no other has before.

We're the wives of combat veterans,

In the Aftermath of War.



We had to learn the hard way,

When coping with PTSD,

That their war is never over,

And freedom is never free.



We bandage up their broken hearts,

The best we can each day.

We see the scars upon their souls,

That never go away.



Knowing we can't heal the wounds,

That cut their very core.

We're just trudging through the trenches,

In the Aftermath of War.



We've seen them lose their faith in God,

And in the human race,

As they try to hide the anguish,

That's still written on their face.



We've witnessed all the symptoms,

That they're not willing to admit.

We've dodged the screaming bullets,

And been crawling in the _hit.



We've felt the anger, guilt and blame,

Of these men that we adore.

As we stumble on the battlefield,

In the Aftermath of War.



Each day we share the horrors,

Of a pain they can't forget,

And we feel we lived through combat,

Because we love a vet.



But we are all survivors,

And we're learning how to cope.

Hanging on with all our might,

Just holding onto hope.



And our soldier's heart will cry out,

That they couldn't love us more.

Because we're sitting in their foxhole,

In the Aftermath of War.
