- AGENT ORANGE/COLON CANCER -- Karen Butler, 14:14:54 01/03/08 Thu
I have noticed that some veterans have or had colon cancer and served in Viet Nam. My husband served in Bien Hoa in 1966-1967 and came home in 1968. Bien Hoa was the heaviest sprayed area and being there was an air base close by (that stored Agent Orange), there was a major spill in Bien Hoa. (the air base was in Bien Hoa). My husband died in 1996 and I have never stopped sending claims to the Government, just sent another one, advised by my Congressman and the head of VA claims. Who knows, maybe one day the government will admit that my husband died as a result of serving in Viet Nam. I'll keep trying until I die. I was married almost 30 years and have been a widow for 11 years. So if there is a list out there of Veterans who have had colon cancer or has colon cancer, and served in Viet Nam (during 1966-1968) please e-mail me your names, I want to supply as many names as I can. Thanks Karen

- Proving Service in RVN While Based in Thailand -- Charles Metcalf (Cautiously Optimistic), 07:27:41 04/28/12 Sat
Between July 1974 and December 1976, as a 1LT (later CPT), I was assigned to Headquarters, US Army Garrison, Okinawa. In December 1974, I was verbally ordered to support a military unit (which I now believe was the US Army Element, US Support Activities Group/7th Air Force) located at Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base (NKPRTAFB or simply "NKP"). 7th Air Force, all of its subordinate detachments and operating locations inactivated effective 30 June 1975. According to the data record card for the US Army Element, US Support Activities Group/7th Air Force, the unit remained active until at least 9 July 1976. I left Thailand and returned to Okinawa in May 1976.
Because the US Army Element, US Support Activities Group/7th Air Force was a provisional unit, it did not leave a paper trail. The inactivation order states that personnel would be reassigned per special instructions from CINCPACAF/DP and organizational records were disposed of per AFM 12-50. My field 201 file, OMPF, medical and dental records, and my pay records do not show my being sent to Thailand. Ditto for buddy statements and/or photographs (unless, of course, someone in this forum steps forward).
How can I prove my presence in Thailand or that my unit performed missions in Cambodia, Laos, as well as North and South Vietnam? I need this information in order to convince VA that I'm entitled to more disability compensation.

I searved in Nam from Feb/66 to Apr/67. In May 1981 I had a MI, in 1984 had a 4/Bypass,and 2 more bypasses since then, also a defib/pase-maker. In July 1987 went on SS Disability. I didn't file a claim because I didn't know I could. On Oct 16, 2006, I filed for Diabetis Type II, CHD, and a few others, also IUTD. I Disagreed with the award date. (The retro compensation was great but I could have made a lot more pay if I was able to work till retirement).
In Dec 16, 2010 was awarded 100% Disability, retroactive only back to Oct 2006. I sent in a NOD and am in the process of doing the paperwork.
My question is: How many VietNam Vets out their, didn't even know to file when they came down with on of the diseases that the VA had on the list? (Untill now since it came out in the open with the 3 new disease which were put on the list). If it wasn't for my brother-in-law, I wouldn't have known anything about submitting a claim for CHD (IHS) and Diabetes II.
The VA is stating that if you didn't file then, you can only get compensation retroactive to the date you filed. They (VA) use the "Nehmer v. USAVA as their reasning. I feel I am being penalize because I didn't file back in July 1987, or even in 1981 for the MI
If their are any Viet Nam Vets with or had the same problem, please send me a E-mail rogeroa@roadrunner.com. The more Vet's we have the better chance we have of getting better results. I just want what is due me after all I have gone through (Heart problems and lost wages).

- Contact with family of Larry Dee Brock who was my roomate in OCS in 1968 -- Bob (Sam) Brucker, 20:41:36 01/25/12 Wed
I recently read a poem in Winter 2010 edition of "VietNow". The magazine had been around my apartment for quite a while and I was getting ready to throw it out, but first I decided to take a quick look at some of the articles. I noticed one writing entitled: "You Were My Son", but it was late and I wasn't sure if I was up to the task of reading this undoubtably sad poem. Somethimg told me that I should read this poem ; and it was very moving to me , especially considering that my only son recently became the father of his own son. At some point while reading, I glanced down to the bottom of page and noticed the name Larry Dee Brock - my former roomate and friend from OCS at Ft.Benning. I finished reading the poem with tears in my eyes. I knew Larry had been killed in VN and I knew Larry was a great guy but now hearing(reading)his mother talk(write)about him was so very moving. I also felt some guilt because , even though years ago I made an etching of Larry's name at the VN Memorial wall in Washington, I never tried to contact Larry's family. Well, that's what I'm trying to do now. I would like to say hello to Larry's mother, his daughter, his former wife or any other relative or friend, and offer my much belated condolences; and perhaps tell one or two stories about LARRY DEE.

- agent orange use in Thailand -- Phil Breeb=]n, 21:09:44 04/09/10 Fri
I was stationed at Ramasun Station outside of Udorn Thailand in 1969 & 1970. I have been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. I have filed a VA claim and need letters to support my claim. Specifically, I need verfication that the area around the ops building and antenna field were free of vegetationand were routinely sprayed. Second, I need verification that my flights to and from Thailand landed in Vietnam and that soldiers in fatigues got on the plane on the return flight. These soldiers had obviously just returned from the field. I don't have specific flight numbersers, etc. but I need someone to verify that flights routinely stopped in Vietnam on the way to and from Thailand.
Please contact me if you can be of any assistance,

He passed away last year from complications of heart disease & diabetes. I have applied for DIC benefits, but the VA tells me they have no record of him being in Viet Nam. I know he went on secret missions in the middle of the night "plausible denial". He often told me he was in Viet Nam 3 times!If I could get a statement from a buddy, the VA said that is acceptable.

- VA Health Compensation Claioms -- Reginald Burgess, 04:57:54 04/26/11 Tue
I was in Vietnam in 1967-68 and understand that my type 2 diabetes might be considered a presumptive illness due to agent orange exposure (at MACV near Ton Son Nuht in III Corp area). Also, I have recently been diagnosed with polymyositis and am currently in treatment for it. Polymyositis is a rare autoimmune disorder that severely weakened and damaged all of my core muscles. Some autoimmune illnesses have been linked to agent orange exposure, so I'm wondering if anybody else been diagnosed with this illness and filed a claim with the VA?

Thank you for serving sgt. and semper fi.

Hey sgt. Borges,
I have been hoping someone from there would post.
I was stationed at MAG-15, MAC-15, MAR-15 Iwakuni, Japan, and I too washed and serviced TD-16 and TD-18 Bulldozer Tractors,as well as graders that were used to clear fire base camps, and heli-pads in Vietnam during spring, summer, and fall of 1969.
I did not get the non hodgekins limphoma. However, I did get the Cloracne, diabetes (Mellites II), my hands and feet tingle and are numb quite frequently, as well as havig had to have a couple of malignant tumors removed from my back because of that agent orange that was all over that equipment when they delivered it to us. Not to mention the prostate problems I face.
VA is not recognizing us if we weren't in vietnam.
However, don't lose hope in that for a claim, as I read a precedent where the government gave compensation to two servicemen that were not in vietnam from 1962, and 1963.
I hope this helps, sgt. Lets keep contact, as perhaps we can investigate it together and come up with a solution.
Respectfully, Semper fi. Thanks for serving.
Darryl

- Looking for... ANY ....Ton Son Nhut A.B. Crash Rescue Fire Station Crew members or CES Members ( 1972 - 1972 ) + - 2 Years -- Jesse James ( J.J. ) Bell (COOL MO DEE ( Happy) Fochissel on the Diszzel), 11:59:52 08/16/10 Mon
First of all I like to say Hello to all the Vietnam Vets ! From the Marines, Army, US Navy, USAF, Merchant Marines,CIA,& to all others that served for that cause !
I'm J. J. Bell, Black Kansas born Soul Man! Joined the USAF in 1969 Sep 3708 MBTS, Flight 1410 T.Sgt Batella Hispiaic or Phillipino. That man was a the neatest man sorta had Robot manuvers marching making turns!
Pressed Starched fatiuges and was Precision all the way! Military creases that could cut ya ! And Staff Sgt. Johnson ( Black) who put the C in Cool and I believed retired after that stint as a Drill Sgt.
One mention to our first Asst Drill Sgt. He was white can't remember his name but he was removed because he was a bit on the mean side! Must of been a Marine D.I. before he joined the Air Force because he was tough as nails and cut you no slack ! I salute you where ever you're at !!!
Well in Feb 72 we landed at Cam Run Bay on a Boeing 707 charter. We had to land at Diego Garcia because of Engine problem and my Military and Vietnam experince would have never happen but we fixed it and was off to Nam !
Once there we where loaded on a Army Green bus and off the road we went on a scary bus ride down to different bases along the way dropping off passengers and picking up as we went along to Ton Son Nhut AB!
I was 19 like most Vietnam vets and went through the in processing like we all had to do! I was met by my sponser a dark skin brother ( black guy) his name was Sgt. Jones
( Jonesman )!
He was the hustler of the squadron ( 377 CES )could find you anything you wanted !
All nubies supposed to go through 2 weeks of Vietnam orientation before going off base downtown Saigon! Jones was from the Dirty South I think ?
Well Jones got me processed in and down town Saigon my first day in Vietnam ! LOL what a blast I had with my welcome to Vietnam Party! Thank you Jones. That was one Cool Ass Brother Never duplicated but often imitated ! Some Special Dapp to ya !
He and all the Fireman that served on A shift and B shift I would like to find ! The crash station was across the ramp from the C-47 Snoopy's ! And to the left of a taxi way was the flying Boxcars C-119 Shadows.
Across from the Fire Station and behind the C-47's was the fortified Arched Revetment hangers with the F4C!
Photo Recon they would fly through the target areas before and after snapping pictures at Supersonic speeds and return the pictures to intell !
We had almost every aircraft on that base C-123, C-130, CIA Birds, F-4, A1E; B-57, OV10 Bronco /OV-11, Sky Raiders, F-100,Helos, and every cilivian aircraft from 707,737,747,DC10,L1011, kc135, C-141, C-7 Caribo c131 Ch54,C-5a Gallexy and many many more from the supporting countries of the Vietnam war!
With planes taking off and landing every 15 to 20 seconds we where busier that Chicago O'Hare Air Port at that time!
Don't and can't forget the Air Vac Flights C-9 and the C-141 at 0445 AM !
Loading up the injuried on strechers and the walking wounded, and the Siliver Bullets, yes the sealed coffins returning to their home town for their last ride home to their families!
We also had the Army's Macvey Anex and a Army Hilo base with Cobras and Huey's and other choppers as well!
We had many alarms for battle damage air craft that where all shot up, I recall the Vietnamese A1E Ski Raiders would always come back shot up!
The big explosion of Napalm after lighting hit it! The Grass Fires, The Helio Pad Chopper Crash! The Flat bed truck full Drop Flares caught on fire that was one hell of a fire!
I remember all the Hot Brake Fires we responded to. Also remembering the Wheel fire on the C 119 Box Car that we had to be careful on because of the brillium in the wheel or the breaks!
The Trailer fire where we found the Full Bird Col. dead !
Also rembering all the Full Spills on them dang C-130's....All the time! The sun beats down on wings and the fuel tank heats and contracts and out comes the overflow!
And always during dinner time or lunch time, ask any Fire Fighter in the World tring to enjoy Breakfast,Lunch or Dinner !!!! LOL
Soon as you sit down to eat off goes the Alarm !
Also not to forget the Food service guys Vietnam and state side! The USAF Cooks that took care of feeding us and one in particular Sgt. Williy Williams ( Big Boy ) ( Black Brother from LA,CA )station at Malmstrom AFB, MT he was our Fire Station Cook!
I salute all the Fire House Cooks Military and Non Military !
One guy Sgt. Lambert White guy from St.Luis the Fire Fighter that drove 18 Wheeler Water Tanker truck to re-service the crash trucks fighting a big crash fire!
He could back that thing up on a dime, he was cool as winter he gave me some great training on that Tanker and I used that skill when I joined the Navy and became a Plane Captain! He may have drove 18 wheelers after the Air Force ??
Also trying to find ( SP ) Dog Handler Security Police Airman Taylor from Tyler Texas ( Black Guy ) small in stature 5'6" ! He spoke seven different languages and spoke fluent Vietnamese! May be a Cop in TX now ??
There was one Staff Sgt. White guy that had done 5 to 6 straight tours of duty in country!
He was a Crew chief on one of the Crash trucks another cool guy that loved Vietnam, some thought he was crazy staying in country so long!
No one knew his story why but all we know is he was one cool ass Staff Sgt! Can't remember his name but everyone knew his story of 7 tours of duty before they made him return to the states!
We had a Black Station Captain he was a Chief Master Sgt. he was like the father figure and never lost his cool another good soul and I wished I could remember his name but he was a great Station Captain / Chief !
And then the other Brother my age Airman Redux I think he was from Louisiana he was a nice guy and we had lots of fun off hours and in the Hooch ( Barracks area ) and the Airman's Club !!!!!! Oh yes the Airman's club!
That was one hell of a great place to keep you on base, but we all had to go down town to ( Soul Alley and Plantation Road )! Hey I didn't name them but it sure sounds like a black thing ! LOL
One mention to the cutie French Vietnamese Girl name( Awn )! Girl where are you at! Our Picture is still on my wall !
To see some pictures of me in the Air Force and Navy days Also me and Awn go to and Cut and Paste my FACE BOOK address !
If it's not published please write me at ( BLKACE1@aol.com ) or write to the web master for the address( http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=1221166093 )
If anyone thinks they know any of the people in this letter please tell them about this post and or give them my address Please!
If they are no longer here Please write me I would like to know their family members because they will always be in my heart !!!!
Or if you where in country Fire Fighter at any other Crash Rescue Air Force Fire Fighter I'd like to be friends with you as well!
One more thing Oct 71 Ton Son Nhut got attacked (3.) MK122 Rockets and a small ground attack!
I was off Shift and there where some Crazy ass Guys in the barracks that was not taking cover and climbing the Blast walls hollering at the APC that where zipping around the base to secure areas! Any of you guys remember that ?
Seams that after 911 all the Fire Fighter got this big boost in love but us that where Military Fire Fighter never seen that love even in Vietnam! Hell my family didn't seam to know what I did while in the AF. LOL
One mention of an Army award I never got! I was pulling fire guard on a Rocket Storage area that was over grown with elephant grass! The Army was dumping disel fuel on the perimeter !
Well the wind picked up and the fire jumped the birmm and all hell broke a lose and started burning it's way tworads the Rockets which I had to drive the truck to each area and fight the fires trying to engulf the rockets
Well after some intense Fire Fighting I got the fires out!At this point in time the Air Force had turned the controll of many of the base functions to the Vietnames Air Focre and the crew was not up to speed on the fire fighting so I did most the hustling!
Well this Army Captian took my name down and told me I was being put up for a medel.... Well I never got it and but I knew I saved the day that could have went very wrong like that rocket fired off a parked jet on the USS Enterprise!
But this would have been a very bad time if that fire had gotten to them Rockets! Over 30 stored in their racks!
Oh well !
Well I send my love to all that served USAF Fire Fighters / Crash Rescue and don't forget Pedro Crews and the Pilots of that Husky Egg Beater Helio Rescue Chopper !
Love to you all!

- Missing Brother A Disabled Veteran -- Ginny Soller Chambers, 19:19:22 10/20/11 Thu
My Brother Robert(Bob) Soller, a disabled veteran from Old Town,Fl went missing from his home. He lives in a remote rural area. Family, friends have not heard from him since sometime beginning of September 2011 or before. His cloths, car, mortorcycle, were all at home. His wheelchairs, canes still at home. He has a prosthetic leg, he didn't walk away. He has tattoo USMC and Mom on his arms. He is a diabetic and has a very bad heart condition. He takes Medication daily. The Dixie County Sheriff office has added him to missing persons website and put an add in the Gainsville Sun newspaper, but feels that is all they can do, even though now his utilites have been shut off and the last call on his cell phone was made the beginning of September. The family has contacted the Texas Equaseach rescue and search to help us and they say they will, but Dixie County Sheriff Office will not even return family phone calls or respond to The Texas rescue search team.

- Helping a Viet Nam woman locate a kind soldier -- Dianne Schwartz, 17:31:15 10/19/11 Wed
It's strange how I met this woman but God works in mysterious ways. Her name is Lily and the soldier she would like to connect with lived near her family in Can Tho and returned to the states in 65 or 66. She was only four-years old at the time so doesn't remember his name but she called him Om. He had two daughters and his wife would send their outgrown clothes so he could give them to her and her sister who was named Thau. He bought Thau a bicycle so she would be able to ride it to school. He also ran, holding Lily in his arms, to the local hospital after being bitten by a spider. I know this is vague but I promised her I would help since she can't speak English very well and it is so important to her to find him and thank him. I hope you can help me help her. My email is: whose_face@yahoo.com Thank you so much!

His unit information listed on virtualwall.org is listed as "J-2 Directorate, HQ, MACV".

- POW bracelet -- Mary Postal, 22:10:51 01/22/11 Sat
Tonight I saw an ad on facebook for POW bracelets. I have my bracelet I wore in the early 70's. I wondered if "my POW" made it home. I quickly discovered that Sgt. Michael Lenker did indeed come home. I also discovered Sgt. Lenker was a door gunner on a helicopter shot down by enemy fire. This was the fate of my brother, Sgt. Dave Freeman. My brother perished in the crash. Dave was 24. Sgt. Lenker was 25. He spent 5 years as a POW. This news, although it is 38 year old information, is bittersweet. Of course, I wish my brother had also returned home It pleases me to retire your bracelet, Sgt. Lenker. It does my heart good to know you returned to your loving and supportive family. Thank you for your sacrifice.

My husband, who was always healthy, was diagnosed in 2006 with acute myeloid leukemia and died less than 6 months later.
Subsequently, I received a letter in 2011 stating my husbands claim for benefits was being reevaluated under the Nehmers process.
I have been denied twice now because his AML is not on the registry and is not considered service connected.
Is there anyone else facing this? Any sucessful outcomes? If so, how were they precipitated?

- Seeking Professional Service -- Flo (Very frustrated), 11:03:25 02/06/11 Sun
My husband can’t help himself. That why I am here as his surviving spouse. My husband was a former Marine in 1965-1969. He committed suicide in October of 1973. I have been seeking survivors benefit from the VA through the years, all to no result. In my opinion, my husband committed suicide as a direct result of his service in Vietnam. I have medical records to show that while in country, my husband was hit in the mouth with a butt of a rifle, and I assumed this was in combat. Once my husband returned to civilian life, he has had many problems. Some in service that I notice, but didn’t pay to much attention too. These problems led to him taking his own life. I have multitude of records that shows my husband was suffering from something once he returned from Vietnam. He was an entirely different person upon his return. My husband’s employer (Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.) kept a paper trial indicating instances where my husband just went off the charts in dealing with those he worked with each day “before” he ended his life. My husband quit his job twice. The first time, I was able to have them put on sick leave, providing he get some help for his issues. The second time he quit it was a done deal at that time, my husband was only 27 years old. The VA Medical Center, Brecksville, Oh, from 4/17/1973-5/03/1973, where he was a patient was reviewed and considered. The final diagnoses were anxiety neurosis and paranoid personality. The VA responded. “It would require to resort to speculation to conclude the veteran had post-traumatic stress disorder. It would further require to resort to speculation to conclude that the claimed post-traumatic stress disorder was the direct and proximate cause of the veteran’ suicide. Therefore, the evidence you submit must relate to this fact.” What I gather from the VA. I need a psychiatrist or a psychologist to review and to evaluate his records that I have. I am having a hard time finding someone to do that for me. My back is against the wall. I need some help with this one. Does anyone have any ideas?

My own son has been treated surgically for a reoccurring bone tumor four times. My father served in Vietnam and has PTSD, anger management problems, and has had multiple growths/tumors removed from his neck, chest, and back.

I have Type II diabetes and have been receiving VA disability since about 2001. I have recently been also diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease, Stage 3. I have applied for an increased disability rating, but have been denied. I have engaged a lawyer on a contingent fee basis to help me with my claim since I feel "CKD" is a direct complication arising from long-term diabetes. I am wondering if anyone else has had any success in obtaining additional disability.
I was stationed at Dong Ba Thin (near Cam Ranh Bay) in 1970.

Hello fellow veterans. I am looking for additional evidence to support my Agent Orange claim for Soft Tissue Sarcoma eventually spreading to the bone with a diagnosis of Osteosarcoma or Osteogenic Sarcoma. It is my belief that the soft tissue malignant cancer spread into my phema which then spread into the muscles around the phema. I was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma, but I also have a diagnosis of Osteogenic sarcoma / Osteosarcoma. Is there any one of my fellow veterans that have ran into this problem or a similar problem when filing an Agent Orange claim and winning the claim with the Veterans Administration? Please I need something to support my claim.

- A soldiers complaint against US Army treatment/ -- Jim Ledbetter (Angry), 17:00:50 01/06/11 Thu
This might be a bit long but perhaps it will make me feel better when it is finished.
I went thru basic at Fort Ord,CA, then thru Signal school at Fort Grodan, Ga. Within five months of going in I was on a troop ship going to Okinawa. When I arrived there my company (105th Signat Det.) could not be found. When it was located 2 weeks later I was on a military prop job heading for Thailand. I lived there for a year in a rat infested hut. While there I made PFC. Coming back to the states I went to Fort Benning, Ga. I was there 4 months and was sent to Fort Lewis,Wa. with the 41st Signal Btn. I was with them when they were loaded on a troop ship to QuiNhon, Viet Nam. I was with the Cable Platoon. When the 1st Air Cav went into the An Khe highlands my platoon with in with them. I lived there in my cozy dirt hole for three months and a lot of unpleasant stuff happened. When I went back to QuiHnon I knew something in me had changed.
When my 3 year enlistment was up I was a SP4. After two tours overseas in hell I could make no rank. I was discharged at the Oakland Army base, CA.I got a set of dress greens to wear, but no rank patches, unit patches, awards. etc. My uniform was as slick as the first day I was issued one in the Army.
Currently I am at the VA being treated for PTSD, diabetes and a couple of other things. If my mother had not saved my letters to her telling her about all the fighting that was going on around me I would have received almost no benefits.
The Army had no record of me being in combat records. Thanks Mom for keeping those letters. I finally found out what awards I had received. I applied for them and they were given to me in a big ceremony (Ya right) when the mail man showed up with a brown envelope. I am still trying to get 2 other awards I am entitled to.
I have the feeling that after all I went thru for the service in 3 years that when my time was up they just open the door and said "Get out". Not even a kiss or a cigarette.
All I got on my uniform that day was some spit at the Oakland bus terminal from a war protester.
OK, pity party is over - thanks for listening.
GOD bless our service men and women,

My husband served three tours in Vietnam. His PTSD is escalating, we have two teenagers in the house and they are also trying to understand and maintain. The V.A. is not helpful. The only thing I can think that might get him help is if a bunch of Kick-butt Veterans came to the door and told him face to face we( him, me and the kids)need help. How do I get him to realize that we get it and that he is not weak for getting help? This summer John Cochoran in St.Louis infected him and 1800 veterans with Hep C and some with HIV so his stress level is through the roof. Any ideas?

- Marine Service & rank rewards vs. medals -- Pam Lewis, 16:19:50 08/16/10 Mon
Still working on "proving" my husband's service in a Special Ops Recon unit in 71 thru 73. The unit was in country in Nam, Cambodia, and Laos, as well as South America, etc.
Anyway, instead of getting medals while serving in this unit, the team members were often given promotions (as medals documented/verified events that the powers that be did not want documented/verified).
Anyway, during a conversation with a VA doctor today the doctor reiterated his knowing the marines were the only branch that specifically did this (something Jack has said for years). Jack received this recognition in lieu of medals.
What I need is some other Marines to verify knowing of this practice (as I guess it is not a written reg - if you know of a written reg on this guiding me to it would be awesome). Any of you out there been told this or experienced it? If so can you please contact me off site?
I will need the statement to include a sentence indicating that "this information is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge." The statement needs to be dated and signed and include some type of contact information.
Thanks folks for your help!
