I hope he does right by the Veterans who've served, wartime or not: we signed our names, raised our right hand, donned the uniform. Some of us injured in peacetime, still live with the ramifications, years later.

Pray for all the leaders, that they can and will make a difference to the vets from past and now.

Better late than never, four Nam Veterans living in Sweden and victims of Agent Orange got at last the drug for pain treatment (equal as third degree burn pains for about half an hour after taking a shower) but too late for the destroyed nerves ends around 70% of the skin.
The Pentagon admited with a maybe that Nam's A.O. can cause diabetes, kidneys or/and lever failure, skin cancer and "short time" periods of extreme pain with contact with water.
I hope that the new Veteran's Administration kick the Pentagon into action as the Government of Sweden did.
