Ray, I want you to know that if there is anything I can come up with to help you, I will try. I just don't know if the frustration is worth your effort. I do understand that is a personal decision and not mine to make. I can understand the discussion from the VA point of view in that almost every person in the Army is/was exposed to benzene during their service. I believe that you were probably exposed much more than most with the different solvents, but it becomes so difficult to make a definitive line about the level for each person and whether, or not, the military exposure to benzene overshadows the exposure during the rest of a person's life.

This is just my opinion and feel free to disregard. I support your effort. I will always salute you for how well you have handled all of this.
