Reader1, If you know any of the family and friends, tell ’em we’re sorry for their loss and grateful for his service.
sad. this is why its getting rare to see an elevator with one of those bruce-willis-escape-hatches. its incredibly dangerous and you are way better off just staying put until pro help can reach you.
Most people are smart enough to go to the VA website to download VA forms, instead of risking downloading virus/trojan filled files.
