Michael F.
Milne, 63, former National Executive Director and
National Commander of the Veterans of the Vietnam
War, Inc. passed away at the VA Medical Center
Nursing Home in Wilkes-Barre, PA on Saturday,
November 10, 2007. Mike is survived by his
wife Debbie and children.
Michael was
one of the founding members of the organization back
in 1987 and served as a Veteran Service Officer.
He testified before Congress about Agent Orange and
its effects and was featured in Life magazine about
the disabilities he experienced due to his exposure.
He traveled to Vietnam to work with former
Congressman Billy Hendon on the POW/MIA issue.
His retirement to Commander Emeritus several years
ago was due to his poor health.
A friend
best summed up Mike's devotion to Veterans by
saying, "I bet you Mike is currently in heaven
fighting with God for better Veterans' Benefits."
Michael will
be sadly missed by the organization, Veterans and
friends throughout the country.
