It made it difficult to breath. It was not angina which occurred as you took a breath, this was constant. After about 10 to 15 minutes I guess, it stopped and I went to my desk where it happened again but I was more dizzy and confused than before. I tried to call the VA. I was put on hold for 30 minutes, by that time: the pain had subsided once again. I started to work, preparing for my time off as I have to support my wife’s upcoming surgery.

This time every year, I feel Veteran’s Day is nothing more than a “FEEL GOOD” day for those who have not served in the services.

We enjoyed the snow and winters in the Alps. I could manage my pain. When I came under PCS orders to Savannah I thought nothing of the changes in the weather. Hell I grew up in Georgia but I forgot about the volatile weather, the humidity, the thunder storms, the fulgurations between weather patterns.
