Vietnam Veteran Wives

ATTENTION TO THOSE WITH GLIOBLASTOMAS

I would like to “Welcome” the newest member of VVW, Eileen Perkins. Mrs. Perkins' husband, a combat Vietnam veteran, recently passed away from a glioblastoma. Like many of us, who have lost their husbands, know the frustration of why the VA has not accepted this ailment as a service connected disability. She has offered her services, as a liaison, to record other’s who have lost their loved one to a glioblastoma.

Sometimes it takes the “numbers” for the VA to recognize a sickness is due to Agent Orange/Dioxin so it can be accepted and awarded as a service connected disability.

VVW is asking all those who wish to join in the fight to get this service connected, and have either lost or presently have a loved one who has this ailment, to please contact Mrs. Perkins.

She can be contacted by clicking here.

  1. My husband passed away from prostate cancer & liver cancer related to exposure from Agent Orange. He was only receiving the disability from the VA for approx 8 months. My benefits have been denied base on the information that he was not collecting the disability for 10 years. Who with liver cancer or prostate cancer lives for 10 years. Now I may lose my house because my husband fought for this country of which resulted in him losing his life after he was discharged. And all I get for his sacrifice is "thank you". Now I am left out in the cold.
