Bob can you send me that info also.

I also have heart issues and sleep apnea. It is well documented and medically proven that sleep apnea contributes to, and can cause, heart failure. That is why the treatment of sleep apnea is so important. The VA is messing with you. What I didn’t know is that sleep apnea is something the VA compensates for. I will research the medical studies and send them to you directly. In the meantime, go take a nap and get some sleep – at least you will feel more rested.

I had a heart attack 4 years ago and the VA gave me a 40% disability. I'm still having some issues as well as sleep apnea. The VA says the onus is on me to prove that the sleep apnea lead to the heart attack instead of visa versa, to prove it's service related. Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? Any help with advice or links to medical studies would be appreciated. Thanks.

Don, I was in B Co. for 21 months and we had the Bridge Trucks from the 553 with us twice. The first was when we Convoyed down to Tuy Phong in March/April of 69 to build a Blast Proof barracks for MAC-V. Ther other time was in the early part of 70 hauling materials down to our new L Z, LZ Last Chance. If yopu're interestyed I think I have a couple of Photos of the Briodge Trucks?
