<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nA number of you folks sent us the links to the story of Emil Limpert, a World War II veteran who says he was injured during the war in the Pacific and he finally went to the VA to see if he could get some help. Fox2<\/a> says the he enlisted the help of AMVETS to submit to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs his documentation, but the VA says that they can’t find a record of his service;<\/p>\n Limpert, a bit of a packrat, saved all his old paperwork. He had his discharge papers, a roster of those injured in the attack, and the X-ray taken of his leg after he returned home. On top of that he had the two bronze stars and the purple heart he earned in combat.<\/p>\n All that information was, with the help of a veterans service group called AMVETS, was sent to the Veteran\u2019s Administration to apply for benefits. After two months of waiting he received a letter from the VA saying he needed to provide more proof.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Fox News<\/a> says that his records may have been lost in the 1973 fire. According to Hondo<\/a>, that’s entirely possible. AMVETS can help Mr Limpert restore those records if he still has the copies of documents that he claims to have.<\/p>\n I tend to believe Mr Limpert. We all know that the VA has a hard time responding in a timely manner to real veterans. If he was a phony, they would have immediately awarded him 70 years of back pay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
