Memorial of Gufl War Veterans


By 1993, we said goodbye to few comrades who died too young and unexpectedly from chronic multisympthom disorder. The day after the War ended medical records went missing,
And to our comrades who lived handicap lives and continue to Fight the Good Battle for medical care and benefits. Disorders of the Gulf War.
