Great Vietnam veteran story turned into crap by bad editor

This could have been a really great story on this Vietnam veteran had it not been for terrible editing topping off bad reporting. This is exactly the way it appeared. Believe me I know how easy it is to make mistakes typing but that's what editors are for. I don't have one and that's why you see mistakes on my posts, but this is a "news station".......they can afford an editor!

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WIVB) - A Dunkirk native has received a long-overdue honor.

It comes more than a decade after her died from complications her suffered while serving in Vietnam.

They may not have died in action, but they passed away as a result of the action they endured during the Vietnam conflict. Dunkirk native Michael Gregoreski is one of those men. Monday in our nation's capitol, Michael and several men just like him were honored for their service.

"This memorial is for veterans who died because of causes from in injuries or because of agent orange while they served in Vietnam," said Michael's cousin Pam.

Michael's name, along with almost a hundred more, will be etched on another wall adjacent to the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C. The former Army private passed away in 1999 as a result of combat injuries. He didn't fight for the awards, but Pam says he earned every one them.

"Mike received four purple hearts, he had a silver star and there were multiple other awards as well," Pam said.
