Jesse Brown, once the head of the Dept of VA died yesterday. A volunteer into the Marines, he was severely wounded outside Da Nang. His tenure as head was one where we truly had a Brother at the Helm instead Non caring Princpri. I personally saw Brown come to the VA in Montgomery Al and write large checks out to vets who had won their cases but were experiencing long delays getting the back pay. He also intervened in cases that had been going back and forth for years, approving the Vet's claim and paying out intial partial payments. He was I believe 58. Vayos Con Dios
