Air Force veteran Brian Martin served his country in undercover operations in Vietnam.
He survived two shootings in the line of duty as a deputy and a stabbing as a corrections officer in Florida.
He has had open heart surgery and repeated strokes, and attributes many of his health issues, including diabetes, glaucoma and kidney problems, to Agent Orange exposure. He also is battling cancer in various parts of his body and takes pills for pain, blood pressure and depression, among other things.
“Come on Michigan, get on the ball,” he said. “Don’t look at the bad side, look at the good it can do.
“My eye pressure is gone and I don’t have the tearing and watering in my eyes. I did it because I am on all these narcotics through the Veterans Administration. The narcotics tear your liver up and the drops they gave me don’t do nothing.”
