One of our young 50 year old life long family friends died yesterday. He proudly served with the US Army in Desert Storm on a Patriot Missle battery. He had Pre fontal dementia and some variant of ALS. He lingered and deteriorted for several years. When he first started having symtoms the VA couldnt figure out if it was caused by the chemical burns or the Anthrax vaccine they were forced to take..or maybe a combo. He seems to have passed on the same day as his Commander in Chief in that war named George HW Bush. Sorta odd huh?
