Greetings Carolyn and All, Absolutely..... the addition of your #11. on your post for Joseph S. Statton is GREAT. >(Janette, if I could, I would like to add one more that is of interest to me.) >11. Disability of those with invalid pensions - Diarrhea and Rheumatism >It has to be more than a coincidence that I know of three that suffered from >Diarrhea. All served along the Mississippi River. It doesn't sound like much of a >problem, but remember 100 years ago, there wasn't any medication to control >the problem. So their health was very much affected, not to mention trying >to work a manual job. This is something they suffered with the rest of their lives. I fully appreciate your comments which are very accurate. I also have at least one, and possibly two CW Veterans who suffered the same chronic disability for the rest of their lives. Thanks Betty and Carolyn (thus far) for answering the Roll Call and sharing your information. We will look forward to hearing from more of you in the coming days..... -Jannette
