In reply to: American_Spirit 's message, "Agent Orange exposure at Utapo AFB ?" on 12:52:04 07/11/07 Wed

I was stationed at Camp Friendship @ Korat from Nov 67 to Jan 69 and at Camp Samae San from Jan 69 to Nov 69. I was diagnoised with peripheral neuropathy in 1999. I have been getting progressively worse since then. Numerious Doctors and Neurologists have not been able to put a cause for it. I am currently taking Lyrica which is provided by the VA. I did file a claim several years ago for exposure to chemical/pesicide exposure, but was turned down under VA Agent Orange rules, even though I did not claim exposure pacifically to Agent Orange.

The reply to your question is definitely. I have proof that it was sprayed on U-Tapao and Korat in June 1972 at a minimum and NKP from 1966 - 1972.

There will be a report posted later, (when I get a good copy next week).
