Does anyone have a Dale Brown book handy? I just finished his last one (Tiger’s Claw) and just took it back to the library but he flies his own planes for air ambulance and had the name of the company on the flyleaf (I think) and he flies out of Sacramento or the Reno area??? The pilots donate their time, planes and expenses. I was going to write it down but thought I’d remember it. Should have known that wasn’t going to happen....

0 said our Military should pay for at least a portion of their injury treatment, so how can you leave him out of the equation? We all know here at FR how he hates the Military and will do any thing to destroy it.

Better look at the guts proposed for TRI CARE as bad as the Medicare guts. The sites are not FR postable.

"There is the problem. Private Odom can't fly because of his collapsed lung. He needs to come by ambulance. The military will pay some of the cost but the family has to come up with the rest, which is at least $5,000."

I cannot call it whining as they asked for no donations from the public. Unlike all the gang banger killers families do first thing out of the box.

“can’t fly because of his collapsed lung. “

That doesn’t sound medically stable to me. A pneumothorax can be corrected in 99.999% of cases, so why would a family rush to get him out fo a hospital before that was corrected? Sounds selfish to me.

It’s difficult to know through all this fog. I hope it is on the up and up, and it’s something like the troop himself having expressed a strong wish to be close to his family, not just a case of an over possessive mama. I think if the troop expressed such a wish we should have a heart and try to make it happen, within reason.

I’m so sorry to hear this. The suicide rate among Veterans has really gone up under DUMBO and his destruction of an already failing VA system.

I’ll re-post the original post, and Ping you to it, and you can fill in the other facts of his passing, and the need to bring his body home. Be sure to have a link for the gofundme page. Do spell check what you write please.
