Peter, well said! I too, served for many years in the USSN as did my Father,
brothers, and uncles throughout our generations in my family. My son is now
in his 17th year in the USN and my nephew, whom is like a son to me as well
is in his 18th year in the USMC! I can empathize with Mr. Robetrts as some
of our veterans are unable to do many trhings other than simply use their
eyesight anymore! GI say " GOD  bless them all!" and may all of  us that are
able to speak freely to each other and to our government officials, we
should always find a way to take care of them!! KH

Good Afternoon Mr. Roberts,


My name is Peter Cerullo from the Greater Daytona Beach area and I am
reaching out to you in the hope that I can touch your heart. ?I most
certainly can empathize with great respect, the magnitude of your emotional
hardship in dealing with the issues you've expressed on the list serve, my
personal experience of losing a family member that served our country in the
military and gave the ultimate sacrifice of his life to preserve the very
freedoms' we as Americans enjoy and many times take for granted.?


Mr. Roberts, what really brings me closer to the frustration you feel comes
from the second family member who also served this country but was sent back
to the USA disabled ?after a mine field trap detonated to cause enough
damage to lose both his legs. ? The sad part of this story is that when
Sargent Daniel Frenchko returned from Vietnam, there was no warm welcome,
crowds cheering or appreciation offered by many citizens of this country, it
left my cousin Daniel, his family and myself heartbroken, it was a sad time
in our country's history.


Final thoughts; my heart felt appreciation goes out to Dwight Sayer, Larry
Ball, Bill Burgess and the many others in the NFB who have served our
country and have graciously put in countless hours in their diligent efforts
to bring awareness on the issues concerning blind and disabled veterans. The
NAVB work hard and have gained national respect in their campaign to honor
all " Disabled American Veterans".?


Respectfully,


Peter Cerullo/ President?
NFB/Greater Daytona Beach Chapter

that privilege. 
that's the problem people like you are so dam ignorant to the fact that we
need those privileges tell that to a veteran who is a double amputee, or a
person who has a chronic back problem, sir those privileges are not only for
the blind . 
they are  for every got dam one who has a disability, may be you are a
person who just likes to start shit and you have no .. life!
