Vietnam Vets: Deadliest form of Prostate Cancer now linked to Agent Orange.  If you or someone you know may have been exposed to Agent Orange, please read the details in this CBS report: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-204_162-57584205/agent-orange-exposure-linked-to-deadliest-form-of-prostate-cancer-in-vietnam-war-vets/

Reminder: Local Student Veteran, Lance Whitford, plans to walk from the Phoenix VA to the Prescott VA May 24-26th to raise awareness of the need for support of the unemployed Veterans housed at US Vets and the VA Domiciliary.  Lance created and funded Prescott Vets Helping Vets, and is registered as a non-profit organization with the State of Arizona.  He hopes to partner with local businesses to provide job placements for subsidized Veteran workers.  If you are interested in walking with him or supporting his mission, see: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Prescott-vets-helping-vetsorg/439903579374937 or
