The most direct way is via email. I’m not a big fan of Facebook because of their refusal to allow users absolute control over their own personal data, so you won’t find a personal page there. I am active on Twitter, 500px and Flickr, and you can find an ever-increasing number of cute dog pictures on our family Tumblr page. I’ve even started to experiment with Storify. On more weighty matters, the best way to interact with me is via the blog.
Long Strange Journey 
Dear Sir:
I have read your book, Gassed in the Gulf…and ask that you please contact me asap…if at all possible. I served with NMCB-24 during DS/DS 90-91 in the gulf and have a few questions which you may be able to help answer for me. I am a disabled vet due to my military service during DS/DS and will make myself available to visit with you. Please contact me soon…day or night. Thank you.
Sincerely,
EO-3 George Kernaghan, USN
Alfa Co. Air Det. NMCB-24

Mr. Kernaghan,
I apologize for the delay in my response; I’ve been under the weather on-and-off the past couple of weeks. What would be the best time try to contact you over the next few days?

Hello,
Mr. Eddington, I would like to thank you. I am an ill 1991 Gulf War veteran and totally disabled even though I have two STEM degrees: chemical engineering and biological sciences. With that said, my Gulf War Illness symptoms claim was denied, but my schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type) claim was approved for 100% total and permanent VA disability. Why? I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) directly after the war, GAD has ben associated with 1991 Gulf War Illness by National Academies Institute of Medicine (IOM), and GAD often precipitates to schizophrenia and/or bipolar disorder. I have both.
I attempted to send an email to: pat@patrickeddington.com but was told that a “user” does not exist. Thought I would let you know.
