I am writing on behalf of my husband. We have sure spoken about this issue a lot lately. My husband served In Air Force, security police, was stationed at NKP 71-72. When he got out of the service in 1974, he started having some lung issues. By 1975 he was diagnosed with sarcoidosis, actually his doctor said he head never seen anything like this. He called me to meet him at the doctors office. This doctor looked at us and said he had lesions all over his lungs, and even said it could possibly be hodgkins disease. It was a very alarming time for us. He said there wasnt anything they could do for him. About a year or so later this stuff disappeared. Just vanished! This same doctor said this can happen and would probably return. My husband wondered then if it was do to the pesticide they sprayed while he was there. He said he witnessed it done several times. About 10 years ago he was diagnosed with Type 11 diabetes. He has often said he wondered if what he was exposed to has caused or contributed to his health issue. When he heard about the report you had here, he wasnt surprised at all. He said it's about time they give us some recognition for what we did! Anyway my husband would like to go about signing up for benefits, can you please tell us what and how we shoudl do that? A friend of ours said, Pat owes it to himself to check this out. These benefits are rightfully his. So would someone email us and let us know the process? Our daughter had so much female trouble and always has, just wonder if that could affect her as well? I guess I am asking what is the depth of this agent orange. I know I have heard many nightmare things about this stuff! May God Bless each of you in this indeavor.....and I thank God for your service to maintain my freedom in this land!!!! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
