I am a Veteran of the Marine Corps. I am married, have twin sons, a beautiful grandddaughter and a handsome grandson. I have ALS. While in the service, I was in advanced combat training, second infantry, at Camp Pendelton, California. Because of my diagnosis of ALS in Kansas City, I can no longer pick up my grandson, play soccer or baseball; and I can no longer dance with my wife or granddaugher. Hopefully, there will be a cure for this dreaded disease soon.
