A Question for Military Vets

  • Bubba seems to have some of his snap this week, he wants me to call the White House and ask them where his patch/medal is for being a pilot (can't quite make out how many hours he is saying).  But he wants something the military told him he gets for flying medivac (?) a Fort Bliss.  Any idea where I would begin? I usually call Sen McCain's liaison with any problems but he does so much helping vets with benefit issues I hate to start ththe ere for this issue.  Any info would be appreciated  ( and by the time I get it resolved chances are he will have lapsed into he demensia again bu want it for things that are going o his kids)  Thanks
