The cancer thing that Heater Heatley mentioned kind of got to me. My dad passed from ALS and vets are 50% more likely to get ALS than the general population. He advocated for ALS being classed as service connected and one month after he passed away it was listed as a disease entitled to presumptive service connection. I mention that because from what Bandit8 said in the post it sounds like Col. Peck may have done the same kind of thing for cancer and the Red Eagles.

I salute Col. Peck for his service to the country and his service to his fellow vets.
