VA Extends Agent Orange Benefits to More Veterans

The Department of Veterans Affairs has recently added Parkinson's Disease and Ischemic Heart Disease to their list of increased their "presumptive illnesses" relating to Agent Orange exposure. This means that if a veteran served in Vietnam between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975, and that veteran is now disabled with either of these conditions, it will be presumed by the VA to be service-connected.

Road Blocks Help Keep Alabama Highways Safer

This past Friday night my wife, 3 month old and I were traveling on U.S. Highway 82 which connects Tuscaloosa to Pickens County, Alabama when we came upon a road block in the city of Gordo. If you have ever driven through Gordo you know to slow down. I was driving my wife's SUV and after a minute of panic by my wife who couldn't find her insurance card, we pulled up to have my license and insurance information checked. I must admit I knew the Sheriff's deputy so he didn't really even look at my information; however, while we were waiting on the next officer to check our information and allow us on our way I said to my wife I think road blocks such as this are a good thing. Think for a minute all the things that can be checked in such a simple roadblock. These items include: drivers license, tag, automobile insurance, seat belt, car seat for children, and drivers who are driving under the influence.
