I salute the men and women of the armed services who have always protected our freedom and our lives. I’m thinking in particular of my Uncle, Dr. Leonard Lincoln Heimoff, who served in the Pacific under General MacArthur during World War II. He was a medic and his specialty was venereal disease, which was a real problem among the troops. Uncle Lenny returned from active service to set up a general practice in The Bronx. He was our family doctor. I mourn the loss of the personal relationship doctors used to have with their patients before managed care took over.
Thank you Uncle Lenny and to all the vets! God bless and keep you.
