“I’ve always felt blessed for all Gulf War veterans for your very thorough and unbiased research - in the face of political pressure and science-denial leadership. And you were fun. :)”

“Dear Dr Golomb,
   As a retired, US Marine Officer and Gulf War Vet, I wanted to make opportunity to say ‘thank you’ for your tireless efforts in support of those service members and their families, who have struggled with Gulf War Syndrome... Thank you again for your patience, your time, and loyal service on our behalf. Best regards and may God bless you and bless us all.”

“Good afternoon Doctor Golomb-
Thank you so very much for all the work that you are doing in regards to Gulf War Veterans. It is fantastic work, of utmost importance and is most appreciated! Mrs. Cortez was exceptional in her screening and conversation with me last week. I want to express to you that she was one of the most empathetic, engaged, and knowledgeable individuals I have spoken to in this time of reaching out to researchers... Thank you again for all of your institute’s work and efforts.”

“I do appreciate all you have done for our community and hope there is some strong light at the end of the diagnostic and treatment tunnel.”

“Thank you for caring about us Golomb Research Group. You don’t know how many of us appreciate you and I do speak for a lot of vets that are scared to speak
or cannot advocate for themselves anymore a health problem that I am getting closer and closer too myself... They tell me. They are rooting for me as I publicly squeak as loudly as I can!”

“Congratulations on the public news article concerning your findings on GWI and mitochondrial dysfunction. Thank you for your research. I hope this leads to treatment options.”

“Thank you for all of your help and also your team(s). I kept all of the cards that they sent with their signatures in all different pen colors, it is a wonderful personal connection. Finally, I would like to mention what a wonderful pleasure it was to be involved in a study with Anna Preger, she is delightful to speak to and very enthusiastic about the project. If there is any ‘bonus’ or certificate of appreciation you give your team members, she should get some.

Thank you again for all you do for me/us.”

“Dr Golomb,
I read your latest contribution toward understanding Gulf War Illness (GWI) in the scientific reports article entitled ‘Mitochondrial impairment but not peripheral inflammation predicts greater Gulf War illness severity’ and feel all-the-more blessed to have known you! I’m overwhelmed with respect, admiration, and appreciation for your stalwart dedication to those of us with GWI such that a mere ‘THANK YOU’ could never express. Expressing this heartfelt sentiment is cathartic for me... You were so very considerate and helpful while I was in San Diego (1998-2008) that I am forever appreciative for your advice and counsel, THANK YOU!”

“Thank you Dr Golomb and all your team! I appreciate all your hard work and dedication in serving those who served! ... I have enjoyed participating in all the studies I qualified for and will continue to assist you in discovering the cause(s) of thousands of Veterans who fight their Gulf War signs and symptoms daily... You honor Veterans in dedicating your life’s work in helping us discover the root causes of our illnesses and for that I am grateful to you forever.”

“Dear Beatrice AKA The One and Only ‘Dr. G’,
Thank you for your most gracious manner and kind words. But I must also say that your courage, integrity, patient endurance, tenacity, skill and professionalism - you are a warrior healer, truly above and beyond the call. It is my honor and blessing to be a part of your ‘G-TEAM’ in whatever way I can contribute.”

“Mercifully delivered, away from death we rode,
Traveling down highways paved with gold,
Arms stretched skyward in victory,
None could ever have imagined what lay in store,
Soon our health would be gone forevermore,
Our vision back then was crystal clear,
yet we were too blind to see,
Young & naive, bold & cool,
that magical day - the day the world we ruled,
Coming home to crowds & cheers & ice cold beers,

Nothing could stop us, there was nothing we feared,
Humbly taking it all in stride,
for a time it seemed, what a rush, what a ride,
Then suddenly things began to fall apart,
the symptoms began, but that was only the start,
Why? was the question, What is it? we asked,
What is wrong with our bodies, failing so fast?,
The answer is simple, our government said,
There is no Gulf War Illness,
It’s all in your head.”
