If you write me offline I will give you my Air Force son's address and your son can write to him. He is on Kuwait and mail is not picked up to often. He does have access to email though.
Just FYI: I got a 30% rating for a bad heart valve and they said it wasn't 60% because my heart still functioned. I guess a heart that didn't function gets a 60% rating and not 100%? The total of all my ratings came to 80% but the offical rating is 56% because of their formula and then this is rounded to the nearest 10% so my rating is 60% disabled and I have priority one status which is higher then someone with agent orange etc.. I've never used the VA in 18 months retired because I pay for my own insurance and don't want to take away from the people who really need it. My husband spent 22 years active duty, 3 months of living hell in a DaNang Hospital and he got 20% for his disability. Must have been because he was white.
