Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Christi - I didn't realize your hubby is with the military when I wrote this earlier post. I don't know if he would be able to help you, but McCain (R-AZ) is always fighting for the soldiers. You might want to send an email to his office. It's at least worth a shot. I worked on his presidential campaign. He is really a great guy. http://www.senate.gov/~mccain/ Dane's mom Cleveland > > Well I just got a call from Senator Helms office this > morning. > > My husband and I had contacted there office hoping they could help > us > > with the whole Tricare DOC band issue.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Christi: I can imagine how irritated you are! I'm hoping you do hear back from McCain regarding this or anyone else in the government. Keep fighting!
