What you can do to help

 

1.  Write those letters to the editors, to your governor, work on state level

Capitol,

write your US Senator and REP.

 

2.  Get your two pager written up to use on the above and also to send to the

VA Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans!

 

3.   Help us network!!!!  Send to other veterans the info, send to all

veteran groups (email groups, all local and national veteran service groups,

grassroot groups, send to friends you knew from service...find our gulf war

veterans out there that are struggling!!!

 

4.  If you can think about donating to help others go forward if you can not! 

Think about fundraising to help this effort!!!

 

 

5.  Brainstorm with us the needs that can be corrected by legislation

efforts!  Send your thoughts DSNurse1@...

 

Here is my list as a starting point:

 

 

FIRST PRIORITY will be funding the research as called for by RAC GWI

 

Second would be addressing claims issues re Gulf War illness and getting them to

follow

current laws and to make any improvements to those laws already there.

 

Third would be to mandate that they do second round of CLINICAL EVAL PROGRAM TO

INCLUDE PHASE 2 and 3 that most gulf war veterans didn't get.  It has been

17yrs and we need to update those EVALS with current info on actual medical

status!  In this evaluation data needs to collected on family members that are

ill and do data collection on children born after the war with birth defects and

Developmental or soft mental problems ie Autisim

 

Fourth would be to get GULF WAR ILLNESS CENTERS in 8 locations in US  East

Coast(North and South)...Central (North and South), Mountain(North and South),

West Coast(North and South)

These centers should be in cooperation with major medical schools!  To

faciliate Clinical Research to Clinical Practice Integrative units!

 

Fifth VA Must provide education to all their health care providers and claims

personnel!  On at least an annual basis based on VA RAC GWI work!

 

Sixth  VA must update their clinical training guidelines for Gulf War Illness

 

Seventh  VA must publish and send out the Gulf War Review Newsletter on a

quarterly basis!

 

Eighth  VA must publish death registry on line...Name, rank, unit, date of

death, cause, age.

 

Ninth VA must publish data on other diseases Cancers, Neurological, Autoimmune,

Cardiovascular, Renal

Liver, GI, Endocrine

 

Tenth  VA must do outreach to Gulf War Veterans both deployed and nondeployed.

 

Eleventh  DOD must declassify all records on the Gulf War, especially other WMD

depots destroyed.

 

Twelfth  All gulf war veterans should be able to get DNA/RNA chromosome testing

ASAP

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhvdkdMFVJQ  watch all 5 parts

 

Thirteenth  NonDeployed gulf war veterans that got sick need a registry at

least.  They should also be identified by unit because we had some units with

deployed and non deployed that would be useful for researchers to have this

information.

 

Fourteenth Veterans that got ill after receiving shots (anthrax, hepatitis

need to have a registry.  The info included would be unit assigned and lot

number received.

At last, vindication

Report confirms Gulf War illness, but much more must be done

By Nichols

The National Vietnam and Gulf War Veterans Coalition applauds the Veterans’

Affairs Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War illness for the release of its

thorough review of research into illnesses among veterans of Operation Desert

Storm.

The coalition is heartened that the committee took on the job of finding answers

for veterans based on scientific investigation. The committee’s work validates

the complaints made by veterans for the past 17 years.

Although the committee focused on chemical exposure, its report does not rule

out other effects that future work may show contributed to physical damage of

Operation Desert Storm veterans.

Persian Gulf War veterans knew that something in their bodies was physically

damaged. They have been saying this since November 1993, when the first

congressional hearings occurred. Their family members have tried to hold their

families together while waiting for answers from the government.

It has been exceedingly difficult for many of these veterans and their families

who were told by their government that their problems were psychological. Many

of these veterans have died, forgotten and misdiagnosed.

It is time that the government declassify all records that might provide more

answers. This country owes it to the more than 600,000 service members who took

part in Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm in 1990-91.

This new report is on the right scientific track to find biomarkers and

treatment possibilities for more debilitating conditions, following the

Department of Veterans Affairs’ decision to compensate not just Desert Storm

veterans with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s’ disease) but all

veterans with this devastating diagnosis. VA also is covering Desert Storm

veterans with brain cancer.

But how many other diagnoses and diseases have not been covered that Gulf War

veterans are experiencing and dying from?

According to VA’s own data, 278,713 disability claims have been submitted from

among the 696,842 service members who served in theater during the Gulf War —

the highest postwar illness percentage ever seen.

After all, their exposures and medical answers might well lead the country and

its civilian population to be better prepared to deal with health consequences

that could occur if weapons of mass destruction were used inside the continental

borders of our own country.

But much more needs to be done. Gulf War veterans still are seeking data on a

variety of issues among their population, including:

• All postwar deaths, correlated by their unit location in theater, cause of

death, and age at the time of death.

• Cancer occurrences.

• Autoimmune disorders.

• Cardiovascular and other body system diseases and diagnoses.

• Demylinating and osteoporosis disc degeneration.

• Esophageal disorders.

Gulf War veterans also want dental and visual exams to document their problems

in these areas for further research, as well as a systematic study of children

of Gulf War veterans who are diagnosed with autism.

In addition, all war data and research held by the military and VA that have not

been published or reviewed should be released.

We are calling for VA and all health care professionals to be proactive in

seeking answers.

We need all medical researchers to become fully involved to find biomarkers,

screening tests and treatment options. We need the government to fully fund this

effort.

We have waited 17 years, and too many of us are rapidly deteriorating and dying.

Many went into their personal bunkers and just gave up, even though they knew

the government was not being truthful.

It hurts to have to confront your own government over and over again. But we

have turned the huge battleship off the false targets and have fired flares to

check position on actual targets. Now we need the ammunition — funding — and

the commitment of our government and its citizens to confront this issue openly

and directly.

The National Vietnam and Gulf War Veterans Coalition will listen to the needs of

our veterans and launch new legislative initiatives to address their needs.

Will the new administration, Congress and VA respond?

the National Vietnam and Gulf War Veterans Coalition.

 

------------------------------TAPS LIST FOR PAST MONTH _________________________

_____________Taps for this past month or so.   I Know you all Hate to see

these!

I am asking you all to help!  If you see an obit of a gulf war vet in your

paper please

send it to me!  DSNurse1@...

 

It is critically important that we keep up with these!  We are putting them all

on www.honorthenames.com

 

This may heighten the reality of our situation and push VA, DRS and Researchers

to pay attention.  We need VA to get us data on DEATHS re age of Death...cause

of Death...unit assigned in gulf war!  This is invaluable information!

 

WE have to also push VA to give us data on what other diagnostic codes ie

diagnosed known conditions are being seen and at what number!  This is critical

information to the big puzzle.

 

This will help all of us still alive!  I know that each of these that have

passed would want whatever information to be shared to help their buddies still

alive.  WE are seeing too many young dying!  And we must use the data and

correlate to age and diagnosis and cause of deaths to get them to really dig

better and help us that are left alive!

I am very sad and pause to Honor Capt Debbie Judd, Debbie stood with us early in

1994, I still remember when we talked over the phone after she responded to a

posting I made for our Gulf War Medical personnel to step forward and help. 

She brought DR Baumzweiger to the Oregon Meeting in 1995-6, cannt remember the

date.

She definitely helped by putting together the very first Gulf War Veterans

Health Assessment checklist!

 

There are very young age Gulf War Veterans in this issue of Gulf War Veterans

Taps.  There are also many well known PILOTS!

 

May GOD help us soon and the truth to

come forth so all these Veterans can be honored by the country they served and

laid their lives down when asked by their government.  To be not recognized by

this country is a Disgrace!

 

In honor and gratitude to each of them

From one Gulf War Veteran

K. Stagner

Family-Placed Obituary

USAF SSGT Kekoamanaokeakuakapulani Stagner the son of Dr. Ishmael W.

Stagner, II, and Mrs. Carmen Rosita Cuizon Stagner, of Kaneohe, passed away at

his home in Moose Creek, Alaska, on Thursday, November 6, 2008. " Koa, " as he was

known to his friends, schoolmates, and teammates, attended and graduated from

B. Castle High School in 1994, although he was born at Kahuku Hospital,

and lived for a major part of his life, in La`ie. In his senior year, he was

also the co-captain of his varsity football team and played offensive right

tackle for two years at 5'6 " and 168 pounds. Although he was often, dwarfed and

outweighed by opponents much bigger than he, Koa always took pride in the fact

that in the two years that he was a starter, his quarterbacks were never sacked

from his side of the line. He could also be seen on the Castle campus being

followed by younger students who quickly learned that if they stayed close to

him, they wouldn't get

hassled, or lose their lunch money. He was their defender, friend, and senior

mentor, and had no patience with school bullies. Shortly after his high school

graduation, he enlisted in the United States Air Force where he spent the last

fourteen years, and participated in Operations DESERT STORM/SOUTHERN WATCH,

ENDURING FREEDOM, AND IRAQI FREEDOM. He was, at the time of his death, preparing

for his fourth combat deployment to the Middle East. He received a large number

of commendations, medals, and campaign ribbons for his various military

experiences including the Air Force Achievement Medal For Valor, and The Air

Force Commendation Medal with First Oak Leaf Cluster (Posthumous). He was a

proud member of the elite Air Force Security Forces, which is the USAF version

of the US Army Green Berets, and the US Navy SEALS. On June 25,1996, shortly

after he completed basic training, his USAFSF unit from Vandenberg AFB was

attacked by terrorists at the Khobar

Towers, at King Abdul Azziz Air Base, Dahran, Saudi Arabia, and 19 of his

fellow airmen were killed. Koa, then an Airman First Class, established a

defensive cordon, and was credited with preventing further injuries/death while

order was restored to the base. His various duty posts included Vandenberg AFB,

CA; Araxos Air Base, Greece; Nellis AFB, NEV, Columbus AFB, MISS, where he was

part of the famous, " Tuskeegee Airmen, " ; and Balad AFB, Balad, Iraq. His last

duty station was at Eielson AFB, Alaska north of the North Pole. Thus he had the

opportunity to trade his desert combat boots for government issue snowshoes.

Besides his parents, he is survived by his three other brothers, Kealii (Ishmael

III), Kealoha (), and Kau`ikeolani (), plus his sister, Makana

(Carmael). He also leaves two nephews, and a niece, and a whole host of aunties,

uncles, and cousins. In June of 2008 he married his wife, Amy, and inherited her

three children, as well. He

was known for being an outstanding cook, with rare barbecue skills, and his

shoyu chicken was the talk of all the posts to which he was assigned. His

obsession with cleanliness, was also well known, and he, and his troops, won a

number of unit inspection awards. On Friday, November 14, 2008, a special

memorial service was conducted for him at the Eielson AFB Chapel. In attendance

was the base commanding general, and members of his own unit, the 354th SFS.

They said their final farewells to him with a long standing Security Forces

tradition, " the last guardmount. " In this ceremony, roll call was made, with

appropriate responses for those either present, on duty, or on deployment. Then

came the call, " Sergeant Stagner, " with no response. A second call was then

made, " Sergeant Stagner, " with no response. A third and final guard

mount call rang out loudly and clearly, " Sergeant K. Stagner. " The

ensuing silence was then followed by wrenching

sobs from his detachment, and then a bugler played, " Taps. " Friend, buddy, unit

mate, son, brother, and comrade-in arms was saluted and remembered. Funeral

services will be held at the Kane`ohe LDS Stake Center, across from King Middle

School in Kaneohe. The public viewing will be from 9 to 11 am, with a chapel

service to follow from 11 to 12 pm. Lunch will be served to those who wish to

attend the burial which will be at the Hawaii State Veteran's Cemetary at 2pm.

The family requests that there be lei and smiles only. Woolsey Funeral Services

will be handling the funeral arrangements. Updated on 11/24/2008.
