I wanted to write a short brief story. My story, but that’s not what this is for. This site and the kind people that visit have made a great impact in my fight for benefits from the VA. I don’t believe I would have gotten as far as I have without the words of encouragement and the wealth of knowledge that has been afforded to me here. Too many to thank. I am eternally grateful that I accidentally read a post from this forum. Knowledge is true power, perseverance a necessary trait. For me this site reminded me of core values and reasons why we fight. “Fight til your last breath”
