Message:
For the year I have been on this list I have been able to contact a lot of old friends from times gone by. I am still married to the same Brit for 25 years and have 8 grandchildren now. My passion is working with our veterans and assisting in getting their Claims for VA compensation.
Coming out of the Gulf War 80% disabled really made me think of those who need help going through the red tape of VA claims. The VFW is a great organization to assist those who need help in getting the entitlements they deserve.
You can contact me at bbloomquist@vfw.org for membership and assistance. We are Veterans looking after Veterans. My days in the UK were the best of my life I spent another 6 years up the road at Lakenheath after my assignment to Bentwaters. I then was sent to Cannon AFB New Mexico for 7 years with the F-111-Fs and then the EF-111A and the block 40 F-16. I left Cannon to Eglin AFB Florida for the rest of my career in the test wing with F-15, F-16. A-10 and C-130 test.
I retired in 2005 and have been working for Veterans ever since. God Bless you all Bill (Boomer)
