Your high school classmate is a disgrace.
I hadn't seen him in 45 years, and only met him because a high school buddy of mine had stayed in touch with him and brought him to lunch.
Ironic that my buddy was also a former Marine, and a machine gunner in 'Nam.
I went to the VA six months ago so they could pick up the $5000 tab for a device I want to buy that'll (hopefully) reduce my tinnitus. I have "artillery ears."

Your case is valid and you earned the device. Have a Happy 4th!
