I served at Camp Holloway / Pleiku, SVN during 1967-68. I was a helicopter aircrewman and was involved in Agent Orange spraying missions during this time. We used AO to defoliate around our base camp, we also sprayed areas around numerous Special Forces "A-Camps" in the Central Highlands. After the battle of Dak To (north of Kontum) in 1967 and early 1968 we sprayed numerous Hills around Dak To, Kontum, and west to the Laotian border. Among these hills were a considerable number of Firebases that were occupied & manned by the 4th ID, including Hill 1338 & Hill 875. I was diagnosed with numerous skin conditions over the years, including Chloracne. I've had numerous skin cancers removed & currently am awaiting surgery for Balsa Cell Carcinoma on my ear. I was diagnosed with Diabetes & Neuropathy in 2006 and am receiving a VA disability for Agent Orange related TypeII Diabetes. Let me know if this info is of any use to you.
Good luck with your claim! Patrick
