msdrby : that sounds like the correct procedure was followed. However, it could have been something like, the person who handles that is on vacation and the replacement was sick.

Sorry to hear about the lack of attention to a veteran's family request.

It sounds like someone on the other end of the fax should get reamed. Try complaining to your congressbeing, too. It was a raw deal, and a lot of people were hurt.
