Hi, I hear our great editor is being piped ashore. That deserves a nuclear-level thanks! Remember the A-5 nuclear capability? Over 25 years after leaving RVAW, I worked in Congress for the Ranking member, House Armed Services Tactical Forces Subcommittee, and was responsible for redrafting the "Atomic Veterans Relief Act:", re-introduced in 2005.
The measure to help service members exposed to radiation was not passed but at least showed concern for the many involved.
