Need help finding a disabled vet

we only have a name. We know his full name, his current address, and his age. He's 26. We know that he was at the military hospital in Camp LeJeune (I think), but there's nothing to say if he worked there, or was treated there, or what.

I expect that you will have a hell of a time getting to the bottom of this. Vet issues can be very messy. Fact checking and record keeping are generally left to the incompetent. Typical gov't work. My mother had a brother who was a vet. He was always a tortured soul and one day just vanished (not MIA, stateside). No one from the family ever heard from him. She spent years trying to find him. There had been deaths in the family and money left to him. My mother approached every veteran's organization she could find and never found him. One day I answered the phone and it was my long lost uncle George. He had been released from a vets' hospital in Buffalo, NY two days earlier - in my mother's care! Apparently he had been there for 20 years. No one at any vets organization nor the gov't could help to find him.
