Veterans Affairs committee  That's rather interesting, because I found there's an increasing awareness. I talk to schools, as many veterans do. We always go in veterans week, of course. This is an almost routine thing: you bring in a veteran and that sort of thing. But now a number of schools are asking me

Veterans Affairs committee  If you could give me your card before we go....

Veterans Affairs committee  There was a cancer study, a mortality study, and the third one was a health study. The first was on cancer, the second was deaths from other causes, and the third was on people who didn't die but still have the—

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes, that was the Australians.

Veterans Affairs committee  As a matter of fact, this is surprising, because they started a study in the U.K. that faded out, a similar study. Surprisingly, about the only thing the Americans have done that we can gain from, that we've used as an example for Veterans Affairs, is that they'll consider frostb

Veterans Affairs committee  One of the many hats I wear is that I'm on the veterans liaison committee for the Perley Rideau, and this situation arose. I think one of the things we must differentiate between is hospitals and long-term care. I know in some long-term care facilities the wife can share a room

Veterans Affairs committee  I guess you know my friend Jon Jennikins quite well.

Veterans Affairs committee  I think, really, we have done all we can. Veterans Affairs, as you know, puts out a bulletin from time to time, Salute!, I think it's called, which goes to all veterans who are receiving pensions. It's in there. As I said, I keep bugging people in my magazine. The Legion puts it

Veterans Affairs committee  I get a certain number of promotional copies, so it's not going to cost me anything. If I mail it to you, it's not going to cost any postage.

Veterans Affairs committee  I would say that by extension when I say “the spouse”, I mean the family members--and friends; it doesn't have to be.... I've seen the way two or three of our Korean veterans have been acting and more or less urged them to apply for PTSD. I say “the wife” because she is probabl

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you.

Veterans Affairs committee  To be fair, these were conducted in 2003; I didn't get them until possibly 2004 or 2005. When we took them to Veterans Affairs, they worked on them, and we got the first results about a year after we'd given them to Veterans Affairs. They had studied them and come up with the f

Veterans Affairs committee  Actually, we got the results of the second one in September of last year and we had the results of the first one probably a year or more earlier.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes, we have, because for one thing, as I said, service in Korea was a prima facie cause; really all the veteran had to do was prove that he'd served in Korea. He didn't have to get witnesses to a particular incident and he didn't have to get medical reports. From what I gather--
