1,200 Vets Wrongly Told They Had ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), this happened to my brother!

At least 1,200 veterans across the country have been mistakenly told by the Veterans Administration that they suffer from a fatal neurological disease. My brother called me last week and told me he received a letter in the mail from the VA telling him he has what is known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Of course we all were devastated with this news. I even called him a liar because I didn't want to believe this. I also could not believe they just send him a letter in the mail and not called him in the doctors office.

I was so HAPPY TO HEAR IT ON THE NEWS THIS MORNING and called my brother right away. I still do not know how to feel about this. Happy YES, angry YES!

Here is the link to the story.
