The Best kept secret from Veterans!


The Gov's Best Kept Secret? "CURR"
One of the best kept secrets in the veteran community appears to
be the CURR
(U.S. Armed Services Center for Unit Records Research). CURR is
a government
organization that provides unit record information for Post
Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD) claims. The VA depends on CURR's research in
order to
process
veteran claims.

CURR's mission is critical to veterans because unless a stressor
is verified
by researching unit records, the VA may not approve their
claims. Those
veterans involved would then not receive the medical help and
compensation
they deserve. CURR's research also helps the VA to make valid
and just
decisions based on exposure and not just a veteran's word.

Unfortunately, for one reason or another, CURR is about a year
behind
processing requests. CURR's command is the Records Management
Declassification Agency (RMDA). This agency is headed by Mr.
Jack Matthews

MatthewsJ@rmdahq.belvoir.army.mil

Pressure must be brought to bear on the federal government to
increase the
manning levels of the CURR so veterans do not have to wait
longer than is
necessary. One way to do this is to contact your Congressional
Representatives and ask them to investigate the hiring situation
at CURR.

Because this department is so little understood and largely
unknown, please
include the following contact information so your Congressional
Representatives and Senators know the who, what, and where
pertaining to
CURR:

U.S. Armed Services Center For Unit Records Research (CURR) 7798
Cissna
Road,
Suite 101 Springfield, VA 22150-3198

If you do not know who your Congressional Representatives and
Senators are,
you can easily find this out by going to this web site at
http://www.usvetinfo.com and using the Congressional links. You
will also
find more information there about the CURR. Thank you and good
luck.

Been there with the V.A. There first responce was that they could find no evidence of Combat in my file, although I had been issued a C.A.R..

I responded as follows,
-Contacted U.S.M.C., and got a full copy of my file, and unit diary.
-Contacted [?] and got a list of medals.
-**Went to Building 54 in the Washington D.C. Navy yard, and copied my Command Chronicals.
**Proved that Christmas Morning of 1968 L.Z. Stud was in fact hit hard with 122s, and lots more.

Ihe V.A. wanted to come to my house to take my recommendation for a Presidential Unit Award, as requested by my Commanding Officer for Operation Dewy Canyon, where we went into Loas in a typical Marine manner. Guess they still don't admit that that really happened, as they don't admit that we went into North Viet Nam on a fue occassions either.

P.S. Get the help you need and desirve. After 9 years I now raising my son, don't drink the hard stuff anymore, and I believe that I'm starting to find a "life back in the world", after soooooooo many years traped in the Nam.

Respectfully;
John Reynolds
