@Gary Ridenour, I was up in Boston. Mass. In '69 & '70, and of course it being a city full of colleges and students, I was made more aware of what was happening in the Vietnam war than the average citizen at the time. I remember that the "government" really didn't want those every shocking images shown.
ah yes the good ole days. overseas we didn't hear much about what was going on back there to this day I still have libs call me a baby killer. and other nice names
Yes Gary, I do remember. And I remember the way our soldiers were treated by so many. I also remember taking old faded green shirt, and embroidering the stories the vets told me onto them. There were so many memories they needed to capture that very little of the shirt could be seen. I think it help them to not think so continuously of the horrors in their minds. At least I hope so.
Last week I had the VA adjust my hearing aids to bring up certain settings and put others in the background. Now that they have been set, I wanted to test to see how music would come to the forefront. Wife's at work, so I can play the music I like and play it at the volume I like. On this video, I can see how the music rises and falls which helps me in the final adjustments I can make at home.
I have a perforated ear drum and wear a hearing aid i got from the VA. works great. those little devices cost a fortune
@Gary Ridenour The Starkey hearing aids I have work wonders. I asked about other accessories and the tech ordered me a SurfLink Mobile 2 so I could pair it with my phone and even listen to music, TV, etc. No way I could afford to have that kind of tech on my own. The VA may be lacking in some areas, but they have always given me the latest and best hearing aids on the market. They have a large selection and work with you to get you the best fit for you.
I'm glad to hear that both of you, @Gary Ridenour and @Tim Burr , are receiving such good care. My husband would only go to the VA, as he felt other places just saw an old man. Michael had to wear two hearing aids, and as Tim mentioned, there was no way we could of afforded the cost of one, much less two of them. When he first received them, the hearing aid tech explained to us that if he lost one they would replace it for free, but if he lost another we would have to cover the $5,000 to replace it. When he died I took his hearing aids back to the VA. They were less than two years old, so they just had to clean and reprogram them for one or possibly two other of the vets.
