hi guys, ive experienced the same problem,more than likley for the same people
its a real pain in the ass.you try and find a freind or a navy pal and you end up getting twisted.
Al.... The biggest challange is finding a people search engine that doesnt want to charge for useless information. I dont mind paying at all , I just want my moneys worth....LOL
Larry,
Sorry about the cancer. I hope you are well now. VASVW has new legislation written now looking for sponsor in congress. Check out the web site and it's free to join - always looking for more Blue Water Navy support. Does Rick have written documentation he can send me. Anything to prove to VA that we were exposed will help our cause. Thanks
Doug:
Rick called me on the phone giving me that info. Since the blue water bunch has been excluded from AO< claimms are tough. I had Kidney Cancer that I think was caused by AO. I spent a few days at DaNang in transient from a TAD assignment from Okinawa to the Constellation.
Al , yard dog was from evansville indiana. I have not seen or heard from him since he left va-85..
Hey Larry,
I also belong to a group VASVW.ORG. A group of Blue Water Sailors, Air Force and others damaged by Agent Orange and trying to get Blue Water Sailors back under presumptive exposure to AO. If you can supply any details, names and or publications to verify this info that would be great news. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
