Dear Annie: In 1965, my father -- a 30-year U.S. Army veteran and part of the Greatest Generation -- was diagnosed with multiple myeloma caused by radiation exposure during his military service.
He began the long process of filing a claim with the VA. They lost his paperwork not once, but four times. On the fifth attempt, I hand-delivered his records with a federal employee as a witness.
When they again claimed to have misplaced the documents, I informed them that my witness would provide a notarized affidavit. Miraculously, the records were “found” that same afternoon..
