[Guest guest]

If any of you Listened to Coast To Coast last night/this morning. you would

have heard about Joshua Neuscha. The Guest was Joyce Riely who is a Nurse

and Gulf W-r Advocate. She spoke to Josh's parents and they filled her in

with quite a few details. Apparently he was a heavy equipment operator.

Told his parents he was going out somewhere-couldn't say much, but he was

healthy-I think it was just a few days later he was put on a respirator in

Germ-ny. The mili-ary actually retired this young man while in this

condition. They did not help the parents get to Germany-maybe it was some

of his other troops or friends who came up with enough money to get them

there, and then no mili ary showed up to escort them to the hospital. While

they were there, they heard from hospital personnel that 55 more were coming

in. The parents saw the bus unload guys in wheelchairs, some on

respirators. What ever it was hit hard and fast. News m-dia never mentioned

this, but one reporter =forget who, has reported it. Josh was a very healthy

20 yr old-track star. Pneumonia does not take down a health boy in just a

few days. The Ar-y wanted to move him to Walter Reed ?? Hospital, but that

was going to be a 16 hour flight and the parents said he would not make it

that long. He died in transit to another hospital there in Germany.
