I would like to extend to our Veteran's in our community past and present a special thanks for their sacrifices for each of us. It just occurred to me that although they may have survived battle, they may still face a battle with Huntington Disease. Some have already passed and we owe them a lot.

Indeed, a special thanks to my husband who served 8 active and 22 reserve for the US Navy. Now battling HD. So glad he was able to have the experiences he had and wonderful memories. So proud of him then and now!

Thanks! The late Jerry Lampson, who founded the Lighthouse, was a Marine. He fought HD for his wife before losing his own battle with cancer. He was a true HD Hero.

My husband served 20 years in US Air Force, and was in the Middle East during the 1st Gulf War in 1991. It breaks my heart to watch the symptoms of HD take over his life. I miss the strong husband and father who gave us so much of himself for many years.

My oldest son is Army and they are expecting their first child. He faces the unknown with HD as does his younger brother. I believe when a loved one is in the military the family is in the military in many respects. Thanks to all of them and a special thanks to Will for serving and being so much help here on the forum to so many of us.
