When you tire of fighting with the VA over your claims, consider Samuel Whittmore, a 78-year-old veteran. In April 1775 he hears British soldiers marching by to attack American patriots at Lexington and Concord.
Loads his pistols and rifle then attacks. Kills 3 British soldiers, draws his sword, and continues fighting. Shot in the face, bayoneted, left for dead. Recovers and lives 20 more years.
