Efltnor Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hi Tommy, I have a huge favor! Would you post another message on the C130-Hercules site for me, please? I’m still battling the VA for Ben and I need to find the guys who signed Ben’s paperwork in 1968. Ben is still suffering horribly and has had nine surgeries, four in the last year and is now being referred to the Michigan Head Pain and Neurological Institute. I’m desperate to find someone who knew him. Can you help me? Thanks so much, Becky =============================================================================== Ben flew with the following; C130A 56-549: 7 Jul 66 – 6 Jul 67 Assigned as a crew member and went TDY to SEA Guys who signed paperwork David A. Ruddell, Tsgt, Crew Chief, 7 Jul 67 Paul J. McGehee, MSgt, Flight Chief, 7 Jul 67 Richard S. Mickely, Capt, Maintenance Officer, 7 Jul 67 C130 56-523: 7/7/67 – 5/3/68 Flew six TDY shuttles to SEA and was on extended TDY at Ubon RTAFB, Thailand as Crew Chief. Guys who signed his paperwork George A. Ingram, TSgt, Crew Chief, 3 May 68 Delbert L. Greve, MSgt, Flight Chief, 3 May 68 Richard S. Mickely, Capt, Maintenance Officer 3 May 68 If any of you guys remember Ben Sager, or know how to contact any of the above mentioned persons Becky (Bens wife) would be most greatful.

Efltnor Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hi guys, I just received an email from Becky Sager and she informed me that Ben's VA claim has been approved as of this morning. She asked me to post a message and thank you guys for helping make this happen. I want to thank you as well. So, Thank You, and thank you Casey for this sight that gives us the ability to stay in touch with the guys we served with and keep up with the C-130 that we flew and maintained. I for one, love it. Thanks again!! Tommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizzard Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is criminal that situations like this have to be endured. Problem is nobody is held responsible for this ineptitude. But at least Ben has gotten his well-earned benefits. Welcome home, brother.
