I am all for it,about time.I am having the most difficult time proving to the Jackson,Ms Regional Office that I am a combat veteran of Desert Storm.I do not have a Pueple heart,CIB Bage because of my MOS19D do not receive CIB only 11B series even though we are engaged in the same conflict the only difference is my MOS was 19Delta.It is the most frustrating experience trying to prove something that you know you did.My DD214 has SWA service from 04Dec90-15April 91 still it's not good enough.My Unit Valorous Medal not good enough my buddy letter not good enough being diagonsed by a Va doctor for PTSD not good enough. This hopefully would make it easier to recive my benefits.I even sent copies of my service LES which showed I received Danger Pay still a NO GO,so please let's push to get this bill passed.
