Hey All, I received an e-mail from Martha Knox widow of Steve Knox 65-66. Steve passed due to brain cancer, He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2005 and received treatment in Boston and was receiving what sounds like 10% disability $96.00 per month. Brain Cancer was identified and proved fatal after that. Martha had a hearing with the VA on 8/29/12 seeking benefits other than the 10% that Steve was receiving. Hearing Officer [Judge] has give Martha 60 days to provide additional information and showing a link between Agent Orange and Steve's passing. I have provided testimony about Steve flying with Snake Doctor and being on the ground in defoliated areas for recovery missions.Need others to E-mail emarthaknox@comcast.net to help establish link with his cancers and Agent Orange. Brain cancer is not on the presumptive list and only first hand accounts and info concerning others who have similar situations will sway the Judge toward an award for Steve's family. Rattler 1 has forwarded a list of cancer and unknown causes of death to her, but we need to give Martha as much info as we can possibly provide to demonstrate a link and commonality in Steves case. All help is appreciated! Thanx Glenn

Enough time has passed and a few have been blamed, but I'll set the record straight. In Chuck Gross's(RATTLER ONE-SEVEN) book, on page43 about a pilot too drunk to fly. That was me....yes...all the other times I flew I was too sober!

Got my copy of "Vietnam War Helicopter Art" by John Brennan. Hot off the press. The 71st Company sign is shown along with the nose cone off Snake Doctor. And of course my tribute "Aquarius" is shown. As you look through the book you'll notice a lot of song titles. It's worth buying, has some great art.

Found several of our guys listed in the Hall of Valor on this web site. There are also some great articles that show how the VA is wasting money making videos. Go to: miltarytimes.com
