In 1971, I stepped on a land mine in Vietnam and lost both legs above the knee.

For the past two years, I have been waiting to receive a new wheelchair from the Veterans Administration. In addition, I have been told that I am not entitled to a spare wheelchair.

On the evening of July 7, my wheelchair fell apart again, while shopping at Lowe's Home Improvement Center in on Forest Avenue in Mariners Harbor.

Three employees, David, Marcus and Souleyman jumped to my assistance immediately. They placed me in another chair while they went to work.

Both legs gone above the knees, and no spare wheelchair? WTF, VA?

These people that are treated this way, need to get legal advice.
I sued the VA and won, and haven't had any problems since, in fact, I needed a wheeled walker, and my doc wrote a script, and had it delivered while I waited in the office.
