Andy needs our help! NOW!

[phuloi]

Got the VA whipped,now lets get after that damn cancer!Kati and I will continue to pray.

[Gimpy]

Now you can understand WHY some of us need treatment for "anger management" due to our dealings with the VA, huh?

They've even got a whole new clinical distinction (name) for one of the "diseases" created by these JERKS---It's called VAIPTSD! (Veterans Administration Induced Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

Like Griz said----one down---and ONE to go! We'll all be prayin for ya mah "Yankee" frand!

Andy: Take T&P no matter how they give it to you. Take it and run like hell, but don't forget to have the letter put on microfiche, hole punched, and put on the chain with your St Chris medal. This is your insurance against "Gee we lost the file." Perseverances pays off and God Answers Prayers. Now go to work and get that Social Security!

Doc: I must be as sick as you are I understood the letter too. Course I have almost gone blind readin' the VA mumbo jumbo over the years.

I am actually still 70% disabled for PTSD. Unemployability is what makes me total and permanent. Total and premanent is total and permanent, the rest of the gibberish doesn't mean anything. If you are total and permanent you automaticly qualify for Social Security and Medicare. I got my Medicare codger card last week. You are also considered retired military for all practical purposes. I now have a military ID and have PX and Commisary privileges as does your wife. She gets ChampVa health insurance as well. The trick is once you get T&P just lay low and don't try to change the percentages. If you do it opens your application to complete review. You know what that means. There are quite a few more benefits to T&P than I have stated here. Hope you get it. Stout is much cheaper at the Commissary. Heh Heh.

JULY2002

Hello Gimpy,

Name here is Carl. I'm just now gettimg to check my
mail... My inboxes(12) are maxed out ! so it will be a bit
befor I get caught up....

My son Lee as to be home for the 4th of July so he
had sent his son Devin on up here to Indiana....( am a Reb
living in the middle of them yankees) But Lee's leave was
cancelled for orders for Kashmir... So we (Amy, Devin and
me) made a trip to Savannah...HAAF(Hunter Army Air Field)
/ Fort Stewart .....they are now on a 2 hr ....can't go more
than two hours from HAAF and have to leave a telephone
number.
Gimpy....(?) It sounds like we may have several things
in common .... My greats were in VA, TN ...and cousins in
AL, GA, MISS, TX and MO when the War of Northern Agression
came. ....am a Camp-2(Life mbr ) of SCV....thru
HQ Camp 584 at Columbia, TN .....
My direct line had moved from VA to TN in the 1840(s)
( they (Enoch ...had got land grants south of the Cumberland
Gap...and had went back and forth) moved most of his family
from Russell/Washing County VA to Claiborne County TNN
in 1848. also several cousins...brother....
Most went back to VA to enlist when the war came....
My grandfather and three of his brothers then in the early
1900s started comming to Indiana to do Farm work and
return to TNN the rest of the year. Then they found that they
could rent land ...so moved here(NW IND ...White County
and Tippycanoe County) Then thru my early teens it went
the other way.... I went to school here and we spent the
summers in the South.... Mostly Tennessee ...but also Texas
a lot and some in the other stated.
Most of those that i knew on Dad's side have passed on
and those of his mothers line ( Huffstutler) ar thinning out
....all the ones that taught me about the socalled Civil War
...and family...their all gone. Uncle Charlie(Grt Uncle)
....he would take us allover showing us where this one and
that one lived....who fought where...etc.....
My favorite place to think of him is on old Lookout Mt at
Chattanooga... It was the first menory that I have of him
giving me history. We had been there enjoyong the view,
and he called me to him.... "Come here" he lifted me to his
shoulder and pointed to a small town West of the mountian,
" There see those houses way over there?" "...Now look
from them down to the base of the mountian...right down
(pointing with his finger) there ...right there is were Your Uncle
William Wesly lived... He was a Huffstuttler....But he was
part of your family too." "Never forget that...."
Charlie walked me around that mountian top and pointed
were other family(Moore(s) had lived.... Who fough where..
...and who had been there, and others that had been sent elsewere....
....that William (Huffstuttler) and Erasmus(moore were on
a gun crew(12#) "...Not these cannon( pointing to the pair at
Point Park on Lookout Mt) ...But on one just like these."
Godbless ole Charlie, his sister(my grandmother) and thier
families... and the few Moore(s) that still lived(that I knew)
....I couldn't have been overthe age of four when they started
telling me history.
When ever I get a chance to visit the little cemeterys
where they rest.... I go visit them ...and hope they know that
I DID NOT FORGET...and I remember them too(miss them a
lot) I suppose that ity may seem silly but there at thier
graves...I talk aloud to them "...Charlie...Thank You....I do
remember...and I remember you too...my son knows of all you
spoke... ...and his son too are told all of which you said,
"Remember....Never Forget"
Well Gimpy... When the Shit hits the fan ...and you
see a fellow running infrount of a mob.... it could be me
comming home to join the battleline.
The First Nat'l and 3rd Nat'l fly just about smack dab in
the middle of this little Yankee town( Wolcott, IN)
....With the 3rdNat'l and Battle flage on a pole just about
10' from the mainstreet(US-24)
........G-I-M-P-Y ...???? Bad leg??? My left is off just above
the knee, Just got a new one fom the VA.....
....the new leg sure made walking easier last week in
Tennessee and Georgia .....weather in savannah was pretty
nice... not really too humid .... ...
Well Gimpy.... its sure good to see that a lot of us are
proudly claiming our heritage on line ....
.....If you haven't already been there
http://www.scv.org ( Sons of Confederate Veterans)
...there is a great number of links that you will like... other
camps.... History ....if you haven't been there ...look around
....besides the regular history links...a lot of the Camps that
are on line ..have built really good info/history pages/sites/
Well as I said ....I've gotten way behind on email.......

Sounds like you've got a great heritage of Southerners in your background. Welcome aboard----we really need some reinforcements round heanh to help us overcome all these Yankee types!

Most-uv-em ain't all THAT bad though----jest a little "slow" on tha "up-take" if'n ya ketch mah drift. That dang-nabbed Andy feller keeps-a talkin bout startin up "hostilities" agin with mah deah frand and most honorable, cavalier southern brother J.E.B. Packo. Kin you beeleeve thet $hit? He's-a wantin ta whack-em up-side his haed with some sort-uv "crabapple" ordinance ere sumthin like thet!

Now he orta knoe thet thare ain't NO "crabapple" pro-ject-tile whut kin hurt no TRUE Son uv tha South. He jest-a betta watch out fer mah frand J.E.B. cause I heerd he'sa brangin up a FULL car-load uv sweet "Jawga" peaches (them kind with tha BIG ole pits in em, ya knoe) and is-a gonna wear his A$$ out with a barrage uv fruit thet ain't NEVA been seen in "Yankee-land"!

HAR--HAR!

Anywho---thanks fer tellin us all yo "history" an stuff--an keep on-a posting now, ya heanh!

PS---Yeah---I'm jest a little bit "GIMPY" awright, three GSWs' (AK-47) to both legs---busted-um all ta hell---but, thay's still thare--whut's left-uv-em.
