- Longshot -- Sam Veer (Hopeful), 20:23:29 03/20/08 Thu
Recieved this e-mail from another Nam vet who is loking for some help finding dust-off pilot
If anyone knows dustoff/medevac pilots or crew who flew near Lai Khe in III Corps in December 1969, please ask them to contact me tgarlock@mindspring.com
My cobra helicopter was shot down in a firefight near Lai Khe Dec 17, 1969 and we went down hard. I had a broken back, legs paralyzed (until after
surgery) and the broken bird had to be destroyed by rocket fire from the air to keep the weapons, ammo and radios out of enemy hands.
I would like to know who was flying medevac to pick me up. It is not an entirely rational desire, and I have passed on similar messages myself from grunts who want to find the medevac crew who saved their ass, while I knew the chance of finding them was small.
In my case, maybe a broken cobra on the ground would stand out in memories among so many missions. Maybe someone even took a photo.
Please pass it on, and to all dustoff/medevac pilots and crew who see this message, you will never know how many guys think of you with gratitude for the rest of their life.

- On Highway QL-1 1970 -- Richard Rivers, 09:54:33 08/30/08 Sat
I was on highway QL-1 on May 22, 1970 when a large booby trap went off at a site where a culvert was being built. At the time I had been in country for a month. I was about 1000 feet away from the blast. I know there were three people killed that day and some were wounded. The booby trap killed a medic named Sp/4 Robert Marthaler, Jonny Hines and the third I do not remember his name. I cannot remember the men who were wounded. I was operating a five ton dump truck hauling backfill material from the barrow pit to the culvert site. About 15minutes before the boobytrap was set off I was talking to the medic Robert Marthaler who was standing about 300 feet away from the Army Ambulance with the red crosses painted on the sides. Does any one else recall what happened that day. It seemed like the rest of the day was a fog.

In 1996 my husband Larry died of Colon Cancer,and of course
the claim was denied. I never gave up and have just put in
another claim, but I have a report from the government that states colon cancer should be considered as caused by agent orange along with a whole lot of other cancers. This was classified information that the government didn't want the public to know, but you can get it off the internet. I'm also looking into the possibility of my husband passing this
on to my children and grandchildren. My daughter now has MS and my son is sick and so are my grandchildren. If you want to know how it turns out I'll try to let you know. Please let any veteran who has colon cancer don't give up and other cancers denied.

I have had my appeal meeting with a man from Washington who represents the VA, this was after my denial for any benefits as a widow whose husband died from Amyloidosis. No one will be allowed to even mention the desease during any hearings. WHAT A JOKE what was I there for? I had to talk about another related desease he might have contracted during his tour in the marine corp in Nam. When will they face the facts and stop their coverup that amyl is related to AGENT ORANGE. WHEN?? OH by the way a famous author died this past Sept from Amyloidosis too, he was also a Viet Nam vet? What a surprise he served the same years as my husband did? His family probably doesn't even know what the hell happened to him or why his pen name was robert jordan real last name Rigney

I just wanted to say thank you to those who have reached out to my sister to help her heal; Not only is it good that she hears from you guys that have been to war about your experiance, but that you can also help her understand mabey a small part of what my father was feeling at the time of his death.
I served 5 years in the United States Army and went to war 3 times and also to a peace kipping mission, so i have felt some of those feelings that no one man nor women can grasp or every understand unless they have served their country in the military, or in this day and age some of the civilians that have worked over in the war zone. I can't explain in words yet what it feels like to be at war and to deal with some of the things that you see and feel when you are over there. Not just for what is going on, but for the people in the country also. I know that my war the Iraqi war is no were near the same war nor would i ever try to compare it to yours, but I can grasp what you go through on a daily basis and one day i hope that i can in my own words explain my emotions within the whole process of going and being in a War.
I am going for a degree in Sociology to one day give back to all the soldiers that need help and dont recive it. So mabey one day I can save someone like my dad, for he was a good man and one that is honored in my heart and soul everyday, reguardless of the way he died.
Thanks agian for reaching out to my sister.

- Agent Orange and Primary Amyloidosis -- Ed Beyer, 21:01:16 07/03/08 Thu
ALERT:
Primary Amyloidosis. Just by chance I had a double balloon endoscopy done at Mayo Clinic. I had at least two years of stomach cramping and blockage. It seems that there was a stricture that would get blocked and cause this situation.
At Mayo (a research center for Amyloidosis) during this test they did a biopsy at this site and found Amoylodosis. At the time they did not know if it also included Multible Myoloma. One year ago I went through a stem cell transplant (my one cells were harvested) and two day of high doses of chemo.
When other parts of my body were recalled to be check for Primary Amyloidosis... it was noted that in my routine colonscopy that the polyps were also diagnosed with Amyloidosis .. however two years prior they did not detect it then. It is because it is such a rare disease that no one would consider testing it with the "CONGO RED STRAIN" for Amyloidosis.
Also, another symtom for Amyloidosis is carpal tunnel syndrome .. which is so common today .. who would even think to test for the Congo Red Stain???
How can we get the VA to really do a research on this rare disease??? How can we warn our Vets to ALWAYS ask their doctor to test everything for Amyloidosis and use the test: Congo Red Stain????
If you have any direction in this at all, please let me know. I have put a claim into VA for this ... but as you know it is still under research!!
Meanwhile, I am not working, post stem cell, and very fatigued, just had both arms repaired for carpal tunnel, and two bone replaced in my hands for arthritis.
PLEASE fellow vets get your colonosopy and if you have polyps have them tested for Amyloidosis and use the CONGO RED STAIN for testing on everything ... carpel tunnel, kidney, liver, heart, AND REPORT IT TO YOUR VA CENTER AND PUT A CLAIM IN.
THIS DISEASE IS SO RARE THAT WE MUST BRING IT TO THEIR ATTENTION.

- incarcerated vietnam veteran -- Marjorie Laudner (concerned), 20:08:11 07/06/08 Sun
My husband was recently sentenced for a misdeamor 5 months in jail. We have been married 40 years this month and he has never been arrested. He is 100% disabled Vietnam Veteran. This was a dispute between our neighbor whom he asked to pick up his dog poop.When the police arrived the neighbor lied and they arrested my husband. This same neighbor attacked my husband a few months later while he was walking our dog in another neighborhood and was convicted of assault. An eye witness testified at the trial witch proved our neighbor guilt.The judge gave the neighbor two nights in jail, 40hr community Service and no probation. He was ordered to pay restitution for my husband's medical bill, as he was taken to hospital for head injury, but has never been ordered to pay. Because this neighbor new my husband had PTSD he claimed his family was awfraid of my husband and sterotyped him as a crazy veteran and a time bomb waiting to go off.
This is not true as the assault on my husband made his PTSD worse because of this neighbors irrational behavior. I was wondering if there is any help to look into this matter in Phoenix, AZ or who I could contact. Thank you Marj.

- Loving Memory: Jesse Earl Duke 06.23.08 -- Shannon Duke (Hurt & Angry), 09:33:56 07/10/08 Thu
I am 32 and lost my father on 06.23.08 to a gun shoot in the head - suicide. I am in pain and angry at the Vietnam war. I may not have fought the war but I felt his pain, his anger, his depression, isolation, sickness with AO and other illnesses. When I was a little girl he would get so angry and his eyes would glaze over, he would get in a tackle position and run after us and beat us until he came back to reality. He was not there – he was in Vietnam all over again. I was called a mother-fucker if I complained about anything: “You mother fuckers do not know how good you have it. You do not know what starvation is or having to do with-out.” I realized as a small child that my Dad would just go nuts and it was not his fault; that he did not mean it. I was able to forgive him at a very early age. I have heard countless stories of the jungles and how 7 year old children would shoot at the soldiers. It was kill or be killed. SV camps being bombed and raided by NV. Pictures of starving children, pictures of my Dad starving. I felt his pain and remorse in my heart, it would run through my body and my heart just bleeds. Now he is gone. I accept that he did not want to feel the pain anymore…but I am still here and I still feel the pain. I know I am not alone. Please write to me because I feel alone.

- 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

- Agent Orange and Prostate Cancer Help -- Carol West, 10:05:20 04/12/08 Sat
My husband was recently diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma of the prostate, Gleason Score of 5+4=9, T3, inoperable and incurable. We can thank the VA hospital in Leavenworth for not doing annual PSA test or phycial examination of the prostate even though they were requested.
The VA wants us to jump through hoops to provide them with information they already have due to earlier disability claims. Now we start over "again". We need to provide statements from other servicemen who served in Vietnam with Conley to verify he was exposed to Agent Orange and in what areas he was exposed. We are on the AO register and have been for years but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
If you know anyone who served with my husband in Vietnam we would appreciate any information you can provide. Dates of Vietnam service were 1966-1971, Plain of Reeds. He served with the 11th Infantry - 3rd of 5th CAV - 9th DIV and 4th DIV in several different areas of Vietnam.
Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
God bless all of our soldiers and veterans who have protected and continue to protect the Consitution and the United States of America.
Warm regards, Carol

I want to get an ID card ( 1173, I think???") so I can use the commissary and rec facility near me. I try to find the eligibility requirments and it seems like I read if you are service connected and have a 100% nonservice connect that you were eligible for the card. Can anyone please shed some light on this issue for me.

- New book - Soldiers returning from War with PTSD TBI -- Tara Lichterman, 08:32:05 04/03/09 Fri
Casemate is proud to announce the April 2009 publication of an important new book that helps us understand not only the struggles of our soldiers on the battlefield, but the complex, enduring, and often barely visible travails they are forced to deal with after coming home. HIDDEN BATTLES ON UNSEEN FRONTS, written by Patricia Driscoll & Celia Straus, reflects a unique collaboration between the Pentagon’s new Defense Centers for Excellence and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
All royalties from this book will be donated to wounded soldiers with TBI and/or PTSD.
What people are saying about HIDDEN BATTLES ON UNSEEN FRONTS . . .
“. . . a thorough resource guide . . . an invaluable volume for vets and their families, and yet another important cry for the proper treatment of the nation’s defenders on the field and at home.”
—Publisher’s Weekly
“Celia Straus has compiled a very real and very powerful story of the tragedies and successes of our American soldiers. It is a must-read book—not just for returning veterans, advocates, family members, and care providers—but for all Americans.”
—Congressman Bob Filner, Chair, House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
“The intensely personal stories in this book place a human face on the adversity of war that frequently remains hidden from public attention….Despite their struggles, returning warriors may also seize this opportunity to experience post-traumatic growth as well—deepening one’s faith, cherishing relationships, reordering life priorities, and extending compassion and empathy for others.”
—Brig. General Loree K. Sutton, Director of the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury
“These stories are a glimpse into the lives of our service members and the real challenges thousands of them face as a result of defending and protecting our country and its ideals. Straus’ compilation of real life stories demonstrates the importance of addressing the changing needs of our soldiers and why it is essential to identify victims of TBI and PTSD and help them
recover from these unseen, but very real injuries.”
—Congressman John Boozman (R-AR)
“… a compelling collection of personal accounts and essays that tell the most important story of our time. … a masterful job of giving voice to those who have lived through the trauma of war—as well as those who are dedicated to providing care and support to our military community. Her tales are painful, wrenching and often uplifting accounts of loss, recovery and survival. These are the stories that must be told and fully comprehended so that we can truly provide the care and support that our returning
warriors and their families need and deserve.
—Barbara Van Dahlen Romberg, Ph.D., Founder & President, Give an Hour
The foreword, introduction, cover art and a first chapter excerpt are available for viewing at www.hiddenbattles.homestead.com

- Trying to understand? -- betsy, 06:41:15 04/01/09 Wed
Hi,
I'm trying to get some help trying to understand my Dads military records. He enlisted in the Army 1947-1951. He went in as a cook, and was injuried from my understanding. He was supposedly taking to a hospital in japan where he was admitted and remained in hospital for several months. My dad is 78 years old and recently passed away, he had been trying for years to get some benifits thur the VA. For years he got denied due to no medical records of injury in the korean war. But, couple weeks before his passing he was approved for something fnally but my mom doesnt know what exactly. His death messed that up and voided it so they said, re did some papers and sent my mom a letter saying she was only approved for 499.00 a month. Plus remember what I said above, all these years he was denied benifits but and swore that paper work got lost etc. but now she gets that money but with still no med records?.this has stumped me. I have a DD214 discharge but says he wasnt injured in duty. I have tryed talking to VA local office and he just told me to handle it with caution cause she is recieveing something now with out med. records I could mess it up by persueing this. Is that true?

- Re: UTT HELICOPTER CO. -- GARY L RATLIFF (IT'S A GREAT DAY TO HAVE BEEN A SOLDIER.), 16:07:38 02/13/08 Wed
ON 16 OCT 1961 my brother, DOUGLAS A. RATLIFF(deceased) was reassigned from the 25th Trans Det (AM) (avation maint) APO 331 to the USA UTIL-TAC TRANS (UTT)HELI CO APO 331. The unit deployed from Okinawa to Thialand and then on to Tan Son Nhut Air Base , Republic of Vietnam in 1962.
In May of 2006 A Vietnam Veterans Memorial was unvieled in Wyandot County ,State of Ohio. Myself and three other family members/brothers names were on the Monument but no Douglas A Ratliff.
Needless to say the Ratliff family was very upset. Having been to Okinawa,Thialand,Vietnam and 35 years of military experience I took on the task to prove my brother was in fact a Vietnam Veteran. As I told my sister Joyce, (MY WAR, MY SANDBOX)
On 17 Nov 2007 I received a letter from the Veterans Service Officier of Wyandot County stating that "In view of the evidence presented, I will assure you and the Ratliff family that I will see to the engraving of the name DOUGLAS A. RATLIFF on the local Veterans Memorial".
For anyone out there researching military history of a Vietnam Veteran I have a couple of hints. The dates of the Vietnam Era for us veterans who actualy served "IN" Vietnam are 28 FEB 1961 thru 12 May 1975. When requesting information from the records center, request records that identify all UNITs of Assignment. All military services maintain databases on UNIT Histories . Where the unit goes, the Soldier goes.
IF ANYONE OUT THER HAS PICTURES OF THE UTT UNIT PATCH OR OTHER PICTURES THEY WOULDN'T MIND SHARING, WE WOULD APPRECIATE THEM.

- Vietnam Veterans for Book -- Catherine Whitney, 03:25:53 09/03/08 Wed
I am writing a book about veterans, to be published next Memorial Day by Perseus Publishing. The inspiration for the book is my brother, Jim Schuler, who was a combat engineer in Vietnam. Jim served three tours: 1st Engineer Battalion (66-67), 87th Engineer Battalion (68-69), and 815th Engineer Battalion (71). Jim suffered from PTSD, alcoholism, and other problems, and died in 2001. I am interested in speaking with or emailing army engineers who served in Vietnam. The goal of my book is to raise awareness and to promote better services for veterans. I’d love to hear from you. Catherine Whitney. E-mail: catherinewhitney@mac.com.

If you are a widow who was denied D.I.C. benefits, go to astrongmiddleclass.gov and ask Joe Biden to review policy for widows of 100% disabled veterans offered 48 months of education only to discover there are few good jobs for graduates over 50. See HR 3286, a bill designed to address this which died in the House.

- Looking for anyone who knows my father - stationed in Germany '68-'69 -- Jennifer Noel (Looking for answers), 09:30:42 01/20/09 Tue
Hello,
I am looking for anyone who may have known my father, Charles "Chuck" Fletcher. He passed away this last Saturday from pneumonia, but it was due to liver failure caused by Hep C. He finally received a transplant in April/May 2008, but it was too late for him. I know so many of you were in Vietnam, but he was stationed in Germany. He enlisted at 17 yrs. in Jan 1968 and completed basic training at Fort Lewis Washington and AIT at Fort Ord, CA. He was stationed in Scheinfurt, Germany (May-August 1968) 1st Btn, 30th Inf, 3rd Inf Div and then HHC 1st Bn, 15th Inf. In Sept 68 - Dec 1969 he was in Kitzecan assigned to company A 1st Btn., 15th Inf as a M113 Personnel Carrier Driver. In Nov/Dec 69 he was deployed to Wild Flecken, Germany. He mentioned Spec 4th class Bennett and PFC Heinz along with others who have passed away. He was discharged in December 1969. He had tried to complete a claim for PTSD, Hep C and frostbite, but was denied each attempt - either waiting for him to die or to just give up hope. I learned more about him and his life by reading his claim paperwork, than I had through the 28 years of my life. If anyone has any information on this place, these people or could steer me in the right direction, me and my sisters would be eternally grateful - I am just hoping to learn more about my father who kept everything inside as it was all to painful for him to remember and discuss. Thank you all for listening and reading this. My thoughts go to all of you and the other families affected forever by this time in our countries social and military history.
His daughter,
Jennifer

My father was in the 9th infantry division in 1967-1968. He has been complaining of worsening symptoms just like yours. Dizzy, unsteady, balance issues, problems with depth perception and very vivid dreams that keep him from sleeping. He was just told by a VA neurologist that he has a syndrome that often leads to Parkinson's disease. HE was definately exposed to agent orange and we have photos to prove it. Good luck to you and I hope that you both find some answers. At least he now knows that he is not alone.

contact: 803-528-7363
Jerry Cook (68-69, Bien Hoa, HHC)
July 23-26, 2009
Hampton Inn - 803-788-4901 $92.00 per night.
(please mention the group to get this rate)
We're reaching out for all Viet Nam era Vets who served in any area with the 20th Engineer Brigade. After last years great reunion in Rockford, the 18th Annual Reunion will be held in Columbia (Ft. Jackson) South Carolina
. We've got plenty planned for you. Fort Jackson will be providing buses from our hotel on Saturday for a tour of the installation, museums, ranges, and facilities -- complete with lunch at a mess hall. They will also provide us with PX privleges and an on-post authorization for our vehicles. In addition, Mr. Lyle Daniels, of the Warrior Training Alliance will take all of us through a training session on the range, just like the recruits go through before heading into real combat situations. Don't panic if you're not as fit as you were in basic training...this is open to everyone, men and women, adults and kids alike. You DO NOT want to miss this.
. Thursday will be check in with an informal meal. Friday, we'll sponsor a golf outing on base -- shotgun start, 18 holes. Friday night we'll meet, renew old acquaintances and just get laid back in the hospitality room at the Hampton Inn.
. Saturday, after our base tour, the dinner will be held on base at the NCO club, and is by reservation only. We'll have predinner music by a Quartet furnished by the US Army band. Our flag ceremony will be presented by US Army Soldiers on active duty. A guest speaker will be announced later.
. This is a great place to plan a week long vacation. You won't be disappointed. With both the Great Smoky Mountains and the Atlantic Beaches (at Myrtle Beach and near Charleston) between 2 and 3 hours away, either or both would make a fantastic day trip. Closer to the hotel, at Fort Jackson is PALMETTO FALLS - a water park for young and old alike. Each night from the steps of the Capitol Building, leaves the Columbia Ghost Walk. While you are there, be sure and take a walk around the Capitol building and see the marks on the walls left by Sherman's shelling. Columbia is home to the wonderful Riverfront Zoo and the fabulous River Walk. Speaking of the River, you might want to rent a canoe for a short jaunt down the Congaree. Make your reservations before the rooms run out! WE HOPE TO SEE YOU IN COLUMBIA IN 2009 - IT REALLY IS A CAPITOL CITY!!!

- 552 AEW&C - sent to Taiwan and on to TanSonNhut -- Suzanne Kofoid, 11:45:57 08/25/08 Mon
Is there anyone out there who served with this group from April 15, 1966 to July 30, 1966? My son has posted a comment and received one response - I'm trying to locate anyone who may have served with Allan Kofoid during this time. I've been told to secure names of persons who served with him during this time and at these locations to possibly secure proof of being in Vietnam during this time. I know there are hundreds or thousands of other veterans doing the same thing and hopefully some will recognize his name. He was attached to the 6214th support group in Tainan, Taiwan and from there rotated to Tan Son Nhut every 11 days. He has prostate cancer and the VA is denying his claim of being in Vietnam. We've been told that "buddy" statements won't authenticate the service in Vietnam so am looking for a source more positive.
Anyone?????

The answer to this question is what will decide if my husband and I will have a child together, which we want to, but not if it is bound for a life of medical hell. Any information would be helpful. God Bless.

- Ampullary or Bile Duct Cancer -- Nannette Crawford (Sincerely), 14:52:51 05/29/08 Thu
Are there any Viet Nam vets out there diagnosed with Bile Duct Cancer? My husband along with Prostrate Cancer and Diabetes was diagnosed with Cancer of the Ampulla in 2004. It is not on the list of Agent Orange diseases. But maybe there are many veterans with this cancer and perhaps it is Agent Orange related. He was in Viet Nam around 1967-68 ( I did not know him then, so I don't have the exact year).
Thanks,
Nannette
