State House Salem, Oregon 97301 Testimony on SB 461 of Stuart A. Steinberg, Vietnam Veterans of America, Oregon State Council, Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway Committee Legislators, Witnesses and Other Attending the Hearing: My name is Stuart A. Steinberg. I am the Co-chairman of the committee that seeks to have the bill before you—SB 461—become law and part of Oregon’s great tradition of honoring its veterans. I served in the Army from 1966 – 1971, and was in Vietnam for eighteen months in 1968 -1970. I volunteered to go and then volunteered to extend my tour. In this regard, I was no different than most of the men I was honored to serve with. I was an Explosive Ordnance Disposal operator and was wounded twice. I have the Bronze Star with “V” Device for heroism in ground combat and a second Bronze Star and two Army Commendation Medals Star for meritorious achievement in ground operations against hostile forces. I went to college and law school on the G.I. Bill. Since 1978, I have been an accredited service officer for Vietnam Veterans of America and, over the past 34 years, have assisted at least 2,000 of my fellow veterans, their widows and children, with their claims for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
