I helped recommissioned the Liddle in Jacksonville and I am 100% disabled because off asbestos I also served on the Abbott as a boiler tech and oil king I was a fireman on the Liddle in the boiler room my asbestos was discovered in 2000 with a lung biopsy and had three types that were on navy ships they never question me on my disability I also had pituitary tumor staring in 1976 and a sphenoid sinus tumor which was discovered by accident it would have killed me.
I will pray for you it has been my faith in God that has brought me thru all of this.

As I stated before it started in 1976 with a pituitary tumor which no doubt in my mind was the result of asbestos they would not agree with me I had about 5 surgery from 76 to 97 when I could no longer work and was placed on disability from the paper company I worked at for 32 years I have been on disability since 97 and on 100 % va benifits since 2000 when I had lung surgery. I had heart,artery in my legs & neck both sides were 90 % blocked ,my heart was 99 % blocked as I said before GOD was no ready for me yet they gave me 6 months to live in 76 no chance at all in 2002 and my GOD has been with me I will pray for each of you. My wife of 43 years has always been there and praying and doing every thing she can. I married her after I left the Liddle at Gitmo and went to boiler school best thing I every did (marring her that is) I don,t no if any one remembers me 40 some years is a long time but I have fond memorys of the train ride to jacksonville and of some libertys I had there I have always respected both men and women who serve our country and am proud to be one of them I have some bad things from the Navy but I would gladly do it over if I had a chance to GOD bless the U.S.A. no matter how bad it gets it is still better then any where in the world GOD BLESS YOU all thank you for your service and thank you for listeng to an old man
