I was stationed in Ubon Nov 66 to Nov 67. I too have Type 11 and in process of compiling data. I have been in contact with some wonderful ladies that are also doing hours and hours of research etc trying to help vets find proof of the use of AO in Thailand. If I can be of help please let me know.

>I'm looking for any one stationed at Korat Thailand (AFB) 1969 ish. My brother-in-law was stationed there, he now has Non- Hodgkins Lymphoma, which moved to his brain. His job duties as much as I can determine is that he washed planes and loaded them with bombs. He spent a lot of time on the runways. I know AO was used as defolient at some bases. Were waiting for his records to be sent from St. Louis.

Please help.

I was at Korat 69-70. I was in Tiger Flight(Base Security) and was all over the base and perimeter. I now have Type 2 diabetes, nueropathy in feet, legs and hands, had a heart stint in 03, high blood pressure, thyroid problems, enlarged prostrate, severe arthritis, reflux, anemic, depression, dizziness and trouble keeping balance when walking(now using cane)all of which I am taking medication for(15 perscriptions daily). The perimeter was clear of foliage, plus we were sprayed constanly for whatever. I couldn't even get an ID card for the VA because I "made too much money" at the time I applied. I am planning on try again soon and would like to know any info about Agent Orange or any other chemicals used at Korat. I can't furnish any pictures because my "Teelok" kept mine and was supposed to mail to me. She didn't! Good luck and send me anything you find that will help.
