One Family's Battle 
with the 
United States 
Department of Labor

The following are corrections to the article “One Family’s Battle with the United States Department of Labor,” in Issue #17 From the Streets of Invasive Thoughts. Click the link above to read the original article. 

Mr. Carreon Jr.’s latest legal effort received the following response: “The documentation you submitted, Doctor’s reports and statement was thoroughly reviewed, we also completed a limited review of the case to determine relevancy, it has been determined that your statement and the documentation you submitted has been considered previously and represents duplicate evidence."


Corrections by paragraph:

2 — The Department of Labor is not the agency, it is the U.S. Foreign Service Department of State. The Department of Labor is only the agency in charge of paying disability compensation to injured federal officials who are injured in the line of duty around the world.

3 — Henry Carreon Sr. was abandoned in a third class motel in Tampico, Tamaulipas with sutures in his head, severe neck injuries, and dorsal spine fractures and body injuries.

4 — I, Henry Carreon Jr., completed my Commercial Pilot Licensing and flying hours. I have my license and logbook. I could not join a Commercial Airline due to a visual sight deficiency. Mr. Carreon Sr. was flown back to Mexico City where he was hospitalized.

5 — Mrs. Carreon was the attendant for her husband, who was dependant in all activities of daily living for 17 years.

7— The U.S. Government wanted to save per diem with Mr. Carreon Sr. and his men and ordered him to return to his base in Puebla, Puebla.

9 — Mr. Carreon Sr. died of the severe injuries that with time complicated and brought mobility and cardio-respiratory problems.

18 — Mr. Carreon Sr. worked for the U.S. Foreign Service that falls under the Department of State and other agencies involved. He was from Tucson, Arizona. When he was sent to Mexico in 1946, he was 100% healthy. In 1981 they returned to us a 100% totally permanently disabled man, dependant in all adl's. Both my parents’ lives were ruined by this accident, the fault of the U.S. Government. 

My father went to the University of Arizona and graduated there, not in Mexico or in Guanajuato. And we, the family, all are Americans, U.S. Citizens born abroad in the service for the United States of America.

21— I built a small, two-bedroom apartment next to my mother's house in the back of the house where I have my office and can watch over her.
