Update: My dad passed away on 3/9/24. Today we were informed his disability claim was closed upon his death. There was acknowledgment of the “screw up” and the claim should have been approved last fall. “Deny & Deter” approach. My family will not be deterred. This man had no peace in his life due to the horrors of Vietnam. Give him that peace in death. @SenJoniErnst @ChuckGrassley

This is my father, Ken Van Veen, a marine who served in Vietnam. He is currently in his final days/hours due to cancer. Not only is he fighting cancer but he is also fighting the VA to receive the disability payment that he deserves. He is being told he has to provide “proof” that he served in Vietnam. How is it possible that there are no records of his service? @SenJoniErnst please help us so this man can finally have the peace that he so rightfully deserves.

@ppeter_phyllis @KueckerTroy We seen the video…he got punched by the kid next to him. Like a boxing punch to the back.

@TerrySuperstar When my daughter was in the first grade and made a wish they had track for kids. Found her the right people, she started competing at the age of 8 through AAU and USATF. Followed her all the way through her senior year and will be a D1 track athlete this fall at UNI
