MADISON, Wis. (AP) An 81-year-old Army veteran from Madison wants the government to know he’s alive and well, despite its information to the contrary. The U.S. Veterans Benefits Administration sent a letter to Kenneth Brunner’s wife, expressing sympathy for his passing and directing her not to cash any more benefits checks. Brunner says he tried to call the agency Tuesday to deliver a few choice words, but the office was closed for Veterans Day. Brunner receives a monthly disability check because of serious injuries he received in 1955 while in the Army. H was injured at a Texas Air Force base when a cable snapped on a piece of heavy equipment and struck him. A spokesman for the Department of Veterans Affairs regional office in Chicago says the error will be fixed.
