Does anyone form May 1952 - June 1953 remeber a patient named PFC / CPL Donald F Schneider? I am trying to assist him with a mortar wound and malaria claim. The VA can not locate his service treatment records.

Comments: Hi Frank I knew your Father while I was at the 8209. I thought he was a great guy but then I found out about his drinnking problem. HE spent most of his time as a belligerent drunk who cussed out the doctors and made passes at the nurses. He had issues. I just want you to know the true nature of your fathers reputaion. PLease do not carry on his legacy. Stupidity is hereditary. Just say no.
