Daniel DeLao has requested a discharge from the Army due to his wife's poor health and the need for his assistance at home. Both he and his wife suffer from asthma and other health issues, and with a second child on the way, they are struggling to find stable housing and care. Despite submitting all required documents, his request for discharge was denied without an investigation. They are asking for reconsideration of his case based on the severity of their circumstances.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
