Paden Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 My wife introduced me to Jasper Blow. 83 years young. I drove him to the VA hospital in Murfreesboro, TN. When we arrived he put on his cap. "Vet WWII, Korea, Viet Nam." He was career Army (E7) entering at the end of WWII and was wounded in 1966 in Nam. Today he is 100% disabled and the truly sad thing is the government owes Jasper over $120,000. He has been told they don't have the money to pay him. Go figure. Any suggestions as to where he might fight for what he is owed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoken D Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Take him to your local TV station and get the story out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 That doesn't sound right. If they owe, they must pay. Have him get in touch with the local VA service officer at the VFW or American Legion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If non-responsive, then load both barrels and go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Rebel, SASS# 58412 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Make sure his Veterans Service Office (VSO) is aware of his issue. Get a sympathetic congressman/senator involved if needed. Here in ND, our congress people jump on these. $120K is birdfeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
