Letters to Secretary Collins
These are the letters. Each one is published here in full on the day it is mailed, and each carries a status line and — once mailed — a running count of the days since it was sent. A substantive reply, when one arrives, will be published on the same page, in full. Silence is published too: it is a result, and it will be recorded as one.
Letter No. 1 is prepared and awaiting the family’s final approval to mail. It is published below in full so the record is complete from day one.
Letter No. 1 — To Secretary Doug Collins
Mailed October 15, 2026 — sent to the VA by email (Executive Correspondence) the day this site went live; certified mail follows. Awaiting a substantive reply.
On behalf of Thomas Alan Bowman, Sr. — 100% service-connected Navy veteran, now in hospice — and the family the VA made carry him. Six asks: a named human accountable, a written accounting of the never-scheduled consult #9247778, a written accounting of every unanswered caretaker request, written confirmation the conflated record is corrected, an audit of how many veterans carry the same defect, and a substantive reply within 30 days.
