Hi. I'm a 68 yr old Nam vet. Served w/ the 25th Inf Div in Cu Chi 69-70.
I was born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1950 and moved to Salem, Oregon in 1955.
I'm thinking of moving back to Canada but am hesitant of the Health care. I'm 100% Disability w/ USA VA & I don't know if VA down here would pay for health care in Canada. Does anyone on this site know?
God bless.
Paul.

Admin reply: Hello Paul It is a little complicated but there is a reciprocal agreement between VA and VAC in Canada for service connected disabilities. Not positive but you may have to visit VA in USA once a year to maintain your benefits.

Good Morning Paul It's my understanding that you maybe making a trip to the Fargo VA Medical Center in the near future. I went there on Thursday, and was given some very helpful information by 4 different people down there. I have a Canada International 'friendly' cell, so I think I can call you without/cost. If so, send me your cell. Thanx wayne

Admin reply: Hi Wayne, Yes, I have an appointment in August at the Fargo VA and also in September at the Grafton VA. I will send you my phone number via email. Thanks!

I was in Viet Nam with the 101stAB 67-68 and belong to the Canadian Legion Branch 66 Toronto and thought the article "Born on the First of July" Jan/Feb was right on and very interesting. We all left our home country and came back different men and women. I have no regrets serving my Country but feel sad for all the families that lost love ones. Thanks again for the great article.

Greetings: I served in the US Navy from October 17, 1963 to December 28th 1967. The last two years of my enlistment was spent on the USS FOX (DLG 33) and I served in Vietnam the last Six months of my enlistment. I am looking forward to joining soon! I just found a clipping from a newspaper from my late mother's things of the ad put in the local newspaper by Rob Purvis in 1986 ! :)

Admin reply: Hello Bill Nice to have you on board and it was great talking to you on the phone. The canoe's you build are awesome.

Hi Ron. Was nice talking with you a while back about the Vet plates issue. I give you great credit for standing up. The Legion here in Manitoba and in Ottawa, leaves a lot to be desired in regards of supporting those who wore the uniform. I will keep fighting for changes.My experience has been horrible. Keep up the good work. Salute. Thank you guys for your service.

Admin reply: Yes the "Royal Canadian Legion" has never been friends of Canadian Vietnam Veterans and have stuck a knife in our back every chance they got.

As a Canadian citizen I entered the United States in early 1969. I enlisted in the US Navy and entered bootcamp on Dec 29, 1969. I left the Navy 4 years later in December of 1973. My last deployment was on board the USS Hancock CVA-19 from May to Dec 1973. We deployed to SE Asia including the South China Sea and the Gulf of Tonkin.
