Agent Orange Stored at Kelly Barracks 547th ENGN Germany

Comments: Look Guys, as you can see, I didn't serve in Korea, I served mostly in Germany, but I think it is significant that AO was stored in buildings in the motor pool in Germany. We used to us it to spray around the buildings and in the parking area in the motorpool. It is known that the 547th Engr's in Korea used it around different areas around the DMZ but little is know about the fact that it was also stored by the 547th in Germany. I was stationed in Darmstadt Germany at Kelly barracks in 1972-1974 and during that time I specificly remember spraying that stuff at least on 4 occasions. I'm looking for anyone who remembers being there in Germany and using AO who can corroberate what I remember. I have type II daibetes, neuropathy in both feet, prostate problems, and severe osteoarthritis. VA is not denying that it was there, stored in Germany, they are simply telling me to prove it. I know it was there, I used it, I just need some help to prove it. Can anybody help?????

More VA Bull

Comments: I was stationed at Camp Kyle, we provided all of the mechanical support for units north of CRC. The vehicles were used for transporting everything including chemicals. When I first arrived at Camp Kyle I did courier runs to Camp Casey, Camp Greves, St. Barbara etc. I was originally assign to Munsani. None of this seems to matter to the VA. They don't care that the half life of AO is 15 years. They don't care that we drank the water and ate food from areas that were contaminated. They want to delay and delay until there are none of us alive to continue to fight for our claims. I knew I was contaminated and hospitalized when I was in Korea and filed a claim 41 years ago. I have continued to press the issue and all they do is deny, deny. All the politians come out on Memorial Day, Veteran's Day and such but shamefully it is all for show. The bottom line is that the agency that was formed to help veterans has become an organization that does nothing but continues its own existance.

Shame!!

Clearing vegetation on the DMZ in 1967

Comments: From June to October 1967 I was attached to the 7th Inf Div Engineers as part of a construction team from Co C 51st Signal Battalion (I Corps) that dug nearly 10 miles of fence post holes for the DMZ(Barrier Fence), within 100 yards of the DMZ. Prior to the construction ALL vegetation was removed and bulldozed to clear the area for the fence, bunkers, observation posts, and clear fields of fire. We used a deuce and a half auger truck to dig the holes. Because the job went through the monsoons we sometimes had to be pulled by a dozer along the fence line to dig.

Their was a lot of activity during this time by the NKA. The unit I was attached to lost 3 KIA and 10 wounded when our evening convoy was attacked back enroute to our temporary compound near recreation Area 3 (RC3). A mess tent where our other team was located at Camp Liberty Bell was also attacked.

I don't have any creditable evidence that Agent Orange was used but something was used to kill the thick vegetation before it was bulldozed into huge piles of debris.

My medical issues include nerve pain in my legs, severe tinitus, elevated thyroid chemistry, migraine headaches, loss of sexual function, and excessive musle spasms.

I read a newpaper article several years ago citing the US Govt paying ROKA soldiers for exposure to agent orange.

agent orange

Comments: I was in Osan Air Force Base in Korea, I have developed diabetes, bad lungs, 1/2 removed. Bad kidneys, bad liver, etc. My VA Dr said I have every sympton of Agent Orange...the VA says no. They said no agent orange in Korea, I know that is a lie because the Air Force sprayed the flight line on the air base all the time, and we were just below the flight line. They also sprayed all the binjo ditches running thru the base.......sI have been turned down twice.....I m getting older and sicker nd I do not get a penny............I cannot find anyone who was in service with me.

Agent Orange (AO) at Camp Casey

Comments: I was at Camp Casey from June 1968 to August 1969. I never went to the DMZ. Camp Casey is considered to be "in the vacinity of the DMZ" and thus qualifies for consideration of exposure to Agent Orange (AO).

NOTE: Nearly all 7th Division soldiers passed through Camp Casey to receive their destination assignments (like to the DMZ, etc.) and to ETS back to the states. This fact should help 7th ID folks a lot.

In 2001, I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma (MM), a terminal bone marrow/blood cancer that the VA acknowledges can be caused by exposure to AO (added to the list in 1994). The list is now almost 40 long.

In 2003, I was awarded 100% service-connected disability for my MM due to presumptive exposure to AO while at Camp Casey. I also have percent ratings for conditions secondary to MM including anxiety, depression, peripheral neuropathy (PN), and obstructive sleep apnea. I also receive a special monthly compensation (SMC) for ED.

The point is, if you know and can show evidence of even having passed through Camp Casey, you can then cite cases of soldiers who were stationed at Camp Casey being approved and make the case that you should also be approved because you were at Camp Casey to receive your assignment shortly after arrival in Korea and upon your departure. Here is one case to get you started - http://www4.va.gov/vetapp99/files1/9906724.txt. It is Citation No. 9906724 dated 3/12/99. Enter the http address in the address line of your browser to view the case.

For a more recent case, go to http://www4.va.gov/vetapp09/files2/0911782.txt. It is citation No. 0911782 dated 03/30/09 (decision date). This case also incorporates "benefit of the doubt" in the decision.

Try http://www4.va.gov/vetapp08/files3/0823342.txt as well. It is Citation # 0823342 dated 7/15/08. It reopened a case that had been denied "final" due to introduction of "new and material evidence". This is a very important and rare exception that allows the case to be reopened.

"New evidence means existing evidence not previously submitted to agency decisionmakers. Material evidence means existing evidence that, by itself or when considered with previous evidence of record, relates to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate the claim. New and material evidence can be neither cumulative nor redundant of the evidence of record at the time of the last prior final denial of the claim sought to be reopened, and must raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claim. 38 C.F.R. § 3.156(a)."

Lastly, try http://www4.va.gov/vetapp09/files1/0903323.txt, Citation # 0903323 dated 1/30/09. Relevant language in the decision included "Accordingly, if the veteran is found to have served in or along the DMZ during his time in Korea, the preponderance of the evidence will show presumptive exposure to Agent Orange."

I hope these citations (you can do more research by going to http://www.bva.va.gov/ and clicking on "Search Decisions" in the left column). Enter key words like "Camp Casey" and your particular disease, although the decision doesn't have to be about YOUR disease, just about any of the approximately 40 diseases now considered to be "presumptive for exposure to Agent Orange".

Happy hunting!

CAMP CASEY HQ&CO A, 707th Maintenance Battalion, 7th Infantry Division. 1969-1971

Comments: I was stationed at Camp Casey in Tungduchon from December 1969 to January 1971. I served as a 31E20 Field Radio Mech with the HQ&CO A, 707th Maintenance Battalion, 7th Infantry Division.

I'm getting ready for my last appeal for my AO compensation claim. I have Diabetes II, peripheral neuropathy of the extremeties,diabetic retinopathy and medically diagnosed as unemployable. So far I've been denied because Camp Casey is 10 miles south of the DMZ AND I didn't arrive on the base between April 1968 and July 1969.

Camp Casey supplied the field artillery, signal and engineer troops as support personnel along the DMZ when requested.

My job responsibilities as a field radio repair mechanic involved constant work in the field - "on the ground."

I know the herbicides had to still be in the ground when our unit arrived in December of 1969 and since I was part of the signal corp we had occasional guard duty along the DMZ when requested.

Please contact me if you were there during that time -Thanks.

AO Claim Denied for location

Comments: I have my AO registry exam 3/15/2010. Thanks for the help. keep up the fight. Someday, and I hope to see it the VA will open the restrictions of Unit designation for AO claims. I knew about AO in Korea when I was there but I never knew that I would be a victim of its lasting effects. I was assigned to ASCOM Co. A 728 MP Bn.3/69-12/69, Co. A, 13th Sup & Serv. Bn, Yongsam 1/70-4/70. During my assignment to seven deuce eight I was detached to a very small unit at the Port of Inchon, Korean Regional Exchange (KRE)Depot. It was our task to provide armed military police escorts to all PX outlets across Korea. I made these trips to Munson, Tongduchon, the JSA and other locations north in 2nd and 7th division areas. As I never knew about the lasting effects of my exposure to the liquid covering our vehicles that originated from the adjacent land to the roadways I did not make specific notes or document my trips. My VA claim review supported my Diabetes II and related conditions but was denied because my base camp was ASCOM 17 miles south of DMZ. Please advise if you have any words of wisdom concerning this. PS I also was at Ft. Gordon for basic and AIT 9/68 - 2/69. I suffered from blister on my hands and was hospitalized for acute sinus infection at Ft. Gordon Army hospital for approx. 3 weeks. A recent favorable decision by VA was granted on the basis of AO exposure 1967 at Ft. Gordon however the claimant stated in his claim he personally used AO as late as 1969 on plant life near watersheds at Gordon. Please answer. John Clark

Need TDY orders for AO Claim

Comments: Hello, I actually arrived at Clark AB, 1st Mobile Communications Group ( 1st Mob), around August, 1967. Looks like a TSgt Ivan D. Osborne was the NCOIC of Crypo Maintenance, and I spent a little over 4 consecutive years with the Mob...I never went TDY to Vietnam, but made quite a few trips to places in Korea, particularly Kangnung, Korea. It is called K-18. I wish I new what AF Sqaudron we supported there. Maybe someone can help me. Some VA guys told me that the Kangnung location was Camp Red Cloud, but I believe that was on the West side of Korea , not the NE side by the DMZ where Kangnung was. The reason I bring this up is because I have Prostate Cancer, was just operated for it last March, 2009, and am trying to get my VA Claim approved that my Cancer was from Agent Orange exposure in Korea around the time of April 1968-August 1969. TSgt Adelbert Howard was the NCOIC at that time and TSgt Charles Tate was the Line Chief....if that helps any. I know it was a long time ago because I was there from like Aug, 1967 till about May, 1972. I was also TDY there with TSgt Leonard Butler and SSgt Harold F. Hannon III, but am unable to locate them. My problem was that I am not able to get any TDY records for any TDY time I did with the Mob. There just are not any orders in my records. Not even medical records or even travel vouchers. I am not able to prove anything to the VA without orders and for some reason the Government just doesn't have anything on me. I am working with someone from a regional VA office who is trying to assist me, but it looks grim. Did the 1st Mob maintain some kind of Morning Report for guys when they went TDY, aren't flight logs maintained somewhere? Does anyone, have any knowledge of how TDY time was tracked???? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ken Gersch

The VA will now cover veterans exposed up till May 975 or the end of the Vietnam War. However, those of us who were on the DMZ in 77 are out of luck at present.

I know in numbers there were few of us that actually worked the DMZ, but somehow we need to get the VA to extend the period of coverage to at least until 1981, which would be a fair scientific time frame for compensation.

If anyone knows how we can do this please contact me.

Agent Orage far wider use then reported

Comments: I wish I could share so much more, but really I can testifiy as I have to others including the Korean Herald when the Korean Government finally declassified and embarrased the US government about the use of AO so the Korean Soldiers could finally get some help. But it took still 2 or 3 more years for our government to finally recognize anyone or admit for our men it's use. The travisity of this still is that our government continues to lie, decieve, limit the actual use and spread of AO thru many parts of Korea. Please read my letter just written to another vet here for his question, glad to try to share whatever I can, it took me the loss of millions of dollars, health of myself and children, frustration and bankruptcy to finally get the admittance from the VA of my combat service as well as exposure to AO. Best wishes, Sincerley, Larry Anderson

Dear Paul, have we corresponded? Just looking here and saw your message. Answer is simple, Yes, Yes and Yes. I was a combat medic with extended duties and assignments, out of I-Corp, Camp Stanley, assigned TDY for much of my duty to Camp Mercer just south of Kimpo Air Base, south of Seoul. As part of my duties there I tried to care for every concern of my men. We were being over run with rats and mice, lice, etc. so I called in the Sanitation Engineers from Seoul, knew Col Bruger, Surgeon General so was able to get lots of things done. During the Spring thru summer of 1968 I was delivered, handled and sprayed AO all over our camp, all around our buildings, latrines, quanset huts, mess hall, etc. several times. I was also assigned various times to go with units along the DMZ and other places where I had no idea where we were. AO was widely, much more then reported, used. Also yes, it is embedded into clothes, dirt, plant, etc. and residual to that even after spraying it can contaminate. I was also there in Korea along the DMZ in 1977-78 and worked as special assignment for the commanding general of the 2nd Div IG team. I was given orders, probably general orders to all units as well, to remove all remaining supplies of Dioxin from warehoues through out all the 2nd Division. So we know it was present at least if not used even as late as 1977. After over 30 years of fighting I did go to Korea and testified for the Korean Herald and finally was granted recognition for my combat service and for exposure to Agent Orange. I have many problems, skin, heart, infections, irritable bowl, etc. and have a son with Spina Bifida and also a son with severe seizures. AO was only so far credited with Spina Bifida so my son now can get help under that program. Best wishes, Larry Anderson

SUPPORT PERSONNEL & AGENT ORANGE

Comments: I am looking to hear from support personnel in South Korea who have nedical issues from their service. If you served in South Korea and did not have a Inf MOS then the VA treats you as you were never there. The VA will give an AGENT ORANGE REGISTRY EXAMINATION if you were there certain years even tho the toxin has a half shelf life of a hundred years. Help your brothers and yourself. We need the information. Those from 1967-1970 have a right for the AGENT ORANGE REGISTRY EXAMINATION but we need to expand that for more of our personnel.If you were assigned to task outside of your MOS then it is extremly inportant to hear from you. Please help your brothers. Bill Kenney

AGENT ORANGE UIJONGBU JUN 72-76

Comments: Almost 20 yrs out of the US Army and I finally am on my search to prove we were exposed to Agent Orange in Korea.We served our country, and no matter what area a soldier was assigned, the duty was done to the fullness of capabilities. Koreans are still experiencing military toxin waste per various articles I have read. I have type-2 diabetes, HTN, quad bypass less than a year ago, lower extremities problems,sleep apea, eyesight/hearing lost. I still work for our country through a contract with DoD. I just would like myself and others to be represented and assisted. Yes, it will take away the millions/billions of dollars that seem to be going to other places. Has a soldier been forgotten? Yes Can it be fixed? Yes All I need is soldiers/civilians who were at Camp Essayons and surrounding areas to confirm it before I submit my review for additional VA disability. (I have a whole 10% right now). Anyone? Thanks to all of you who have and will continue the "fight."

Comments: my husband, joe mast was a guard on DMZ dec 69-Feb 71. he developed soft tissue sarcoma in 2003 and died in 2008. his camp was camp boniface, it was once called camp kitty hawk. joe applied for disability twice before he died and i am trying for benefits as his widow. VA denied him and will most likely deny me. before joe died, he received an email from jimanddebbie1@verizon.net. that email is not working now. he said he was at JSA in 1973 and the camp well was shut down. does anyone remember that? maybe the well was closed as it had dioxin in it. also, i need a map of the camp that shows where the water supplies are in relation to the spraying site, the DMZ. i believe after spraying stopped in july 69, the ground water remained toxic and the soldiers injested that toxin. i need to prove exposure to the VA in order to win my claim. i will appreciate anyones help.

Arty, as I have been approved for VA disability compensation based on my Type II diabetes. This week I was told beaVA rep. that my disability, 20% will change (go up) due to my need for Insulin. 3. Field Artillery, Signal and Engineer troops were supplied as support personnel as required. The estimated number of exposed personnel is 12,056. Unlike Viet Nam, exposure to Agent Orange is not presumed for veterans who served in Korea. Claims for compensation for disabilities resulting from Agent Orange exposure from veterans who served in Korea during this period will be developed for evidence of exposure. If the veteran was exposed the presumptive conditions found for Agent Orange exposure apply. www.vba.va.gov/ro/south/spete/news/notes/0304/2.htmAgent Orange Compensation [Non-Vietnam]: Until recently, the VA would grant compensation to veterans exposed to Agent Orange (AO) outside of Vietnam only if the claimant proved exposure to AO and provided a medical connection between the current disease and that exposure. VA is making an effort to equalize the treatment of all veterans exposed to AO. They recently announced that if exposure outside of Vietnam were proven, and the veteran had one of the ten diseases presumed by law to be related to exposure to AO, the medical connection would be presumed and the claim granted unless there were other disqualifying factors. This was noted in comments on the final rule adding diabetes to the list of ýAO diseasesý in 38 C.F.R. ý 3.309(e), at 66 Federal Register, page 23, 166 (May 8, 2001). In addition, any veteran concerned about exposure to AO during use, manufacture, testing or transport outside of Vietnam, may be given an AO physical by the VA and added to the Agent Orange Registry (VHA Directive 2000-027).The only real issue is proving exposure. All persons who served in Vietnam are presumed to have been exposed. The VA is determining whether Department of Defense information is sufficient to add some non-Vietnam units to the presumptive exposure list, but none have been added as of June 2001. The following areas outside of Vietnam have been confirmed as places where AO was used: 1. The Korean demilitarized zone in 1968 and 1969 (extensive spraying).

Agent Orange in Korea!

Comments: I am a disabled Vet from the Korean Peninsula. I have diabetes and parental neuropathy of the feet also high blood pressure, spinal stenitas, ringing in the ears, plus a few other ailments. I spent approx. 8 years in Korea. from 1975 through 1987. My unit operated the four major radar sites on the DMZ. I believe that some of the condition that I have are due to Agent Orange. I was just turned down for a claim on diabetes and parentail neuropathy of the feet on April 13 2009 due to VA saying I did not serve in Viet Nam, I wonder what they were thinking, I told them I did not serve in Viet Nam. But due to the rules I had to spend at least 1 minute in Viet Nam to be awarded a disability. I was stationed at Camp Stanley in Uijongbu where all the Field Artilley was stationed. We rotated to the radar sites for two to three weeks at a time. I know AO was sprayed on the DMZ and the life of AO is approx 100 years so why is the VA and the United States trying to cover all this up? Any answer would be great so that I can appeal this decision. Thanks.

He lived 2 days after surgery, where Dr's said his kidneys failed, & his liver was engulfed in cancer. All 3 places of cancer were differnt types.

Comments: Gentlemen. I have found an Interesting bit of info. for you. No matter how many times the Government Changes the names of camps...The MAP LOCATIONS ARE THE SAME. Pay close attention. I have ARGUED WITH MEN ABOUT THEIR LOCATIONS....as it turns out, the Camps have the SAME GRID CO-ORDINATES. Different NAMES. This is a great advantage when one is trying to find a camp that no longer exists. (Plausible Deniability) The Veterans Administration is currently treating men with AGENT ORANGE, BLUE, ETC.ETC. from the KNOWN DEFOILIATED AREAS INSIDE THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF THE D.M.Z. (and I dont mean from the Vietnam era) This area is still considered a sensitive area. (North of the Southern Boundary, or M.D.L.)If you have served within the D.M.Z. in the last 25 years....(and your still alive)PLEASE GET CHECKED. Cancer is rampant and Child mortality and illness is common amoungst exposed men. I am taking a great risk here. (Benefits) But I am one of the few survivors from my time period that actually LIVED inside the D.M.Z. for an entire year. and Yes... Its Fatal. SO WHAT CAN THEY DO?....SEND ME TO THE D.M.Z.? The "Unmapped Lake" at "G.P. Oullette" is a DIOXIN RUN OFF AREA. Yes...I have Photos, yes I have samples, and yes, I wont live long enough to help you. Stand up.

They have VERIFIED THE AREAS...and it wont be easy. Nothing we have ever done there has been. Its easy for the Government to deny one man. Its Impossible to deny ten thousand men.

I need buddy statements verifying we had to at times pull details around the compound spraying vegetation with Agent Orange. chow hall and barrack areas. There also was barrels stored in the 547th Engineer Float Bridge boat areas. Our outside fence perimeter area was kept clear by A\O application from Korean nationals working for us. Anyone detailed to spraying of A\O had to use a backpak or hand held pump sprayer. There were many times I had to change uniforms because of saturation. During this time of my service I was not aware of A\O or its effects. Nor were we advised. We were ordered to spray for rodent and vegetation control. Anyone with knowledge of or participated in at this compound, please e-mail as soon as possible. I am fighting for compensation for diabetes type ll, hypertension, eye problems and now possible prostate trouble. The VA says that my records show no exposure. What records? The statement in my package said they could not find my records. Of course the SOC that I was sent for my appeal is missing about 6 pages. What now?

TAPS FOR ANOTHER GOOD MAN

Comments: I just learned yesterday that we have lost another Vet who was helping in the fight to change the Agent Orange Law for all Korea Vets.

Sp.4 Dennis A. Grahn who served in C Company, 2nd Engineer Bn, 2d Infantry Division suffered a fatal heart attack while traveling from his home in Fairfield, California to Oregon for Thanksgiving Dinner.

Dennis was very helpful in our effort by sending photos, statements and a copy of his Hostile Fire Pay Orders listing numerous other men. In Korea he worked on the massive job of installing the new chain link barrier fence, cleared old minfields and daily swept entry points and DP's for Infantry Patrols entering theZone. Dennis leaves his wife, Linda and one daughter that I know of.

Although he will be missed by friends and family, we know he is now in a better place and no longer suffering the effect of Agent Orange Poisoning.

Korea DMZ Agent Oragne

Comments: I applied for disability in Aug 08 for disability due to Agent Oragne... Diabetes Type II and neuropathy.

I went to VA for an exam in Sept.

On Dec. 16 I was approved for 20% disability based on the fact I was diagnosed with Diabetes in 2003. The VA denied my peripheral neurorpathy, but approved my disability based on the Diabetes. It only took from July to December! That may be a record in a claims approval! I will now receive $243 per month for my disability.

Here is their reason for the decision:

"Service connection for diabetes mellitus type II with herbicide exposure. The DOD has identified specific diseases or conditions which are presumed to have been caused by service if manifested to a compensable degree folling military discharge. Although not shown in service, servic connection for diabetes mellitus type II has been granted on the basis of presumption. The DoD has identified specific units that served in areas along the DMZ in Korea where herbicides were used between April 1968 and July 1969. Your service records show that you served with the 2nd Inf. Division Artillery, which was one of the units identified along the DMZ, in April 1969. IN addition, outpatient treatment records from VAMC Chicago, Il., not a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus in April 1969. Based on this evidence, herbicide exposure was conceded and a VA exam was scheduled to evaluate your claimed condition." Since I appled in July 08, that is when I will begin receiving benefits from. If I had been diagnosed anytime before May 8, 2001, (when the government first recognized the use of herbicides in Korea, and if I could prove my diabetees was diagnosed then,I would have received benefits from that date.

I have sense been examed for peripheral neuropathy, and the doctors say it is getting worse due to the diabetes. I have also been treated with the drug used for hives, and it seems to be working fairly well. I have less numbness and pain.

I probably will refile for disability from the neuropathy.

Anyway, if you served in or near the DMZ, you may qualify for diability.

He's gone now but can anyone tell me what was wrong?

Comments: All I know is my dad was in Korea. As long as I can remember he was allergic to everything. He wasnt like that before Korea. His hands would crack and bleed, and so would his feet. He had nightmares, and would throw me and my sister on the floor and make us belly crawl across the living room. After he came home from Korea they put him in Ft. Steilacoom. An insane asylum then. They gave him electric shock therapy every day for a year. His military records conveniently burned up. I was born 7 years after he came back. I never knew why my father was so sick. We werent allowed to talk about it at home. Or the fact that we had to peel his socks off of him at night. I would like to finally put a name to that disease. Our small town doctor told him if he could cure him then he could cure himself. I want to understand what was wrong with him. Unfortunately the only part of his military records that didnt burn said only that he had the clap 7 times. Gross.

We did..don't remember how many there were but we were told that we were going to to the DMZ for a month of guard duty and after completion we would be assigned to our units. We did.. 8 on and 8 off for a month.I stood many posts. Some in bunkers, some walking the fence, and some in a reinforced hole in the ground. One night paper started comming out of the sky. Found out later it was propanganda from the north. Anyway, I still have it today.

Comments: Would like to hear from INJIM SCOUTS or anyone that was there in 1966. I finally gave in and started going to the VA in April this year and so far I can not state any complaints. I filed a claim today at the urging of some of the Drs. I am seeing and so far they have been very helpful. We will see I suppose.

Keywords: OP Dort, ambush patrols on DMZ 1966 my small squad surprized a small group coming down from north and shot them up fairly well but could not pursue them. I had pictures of some of terrain and view of North Korea from OP but they were lost coming to states. You never seen very much vegetation around camp or OP muck and minefields were there. On one small area we used to stake out there was some type of weed - kinda ugly yellow brown - chew on it tasted like sweet/sour more on sour side but would keep you awake also would give you headaches and stomach discomfort. At the Injim river there was vegetation in certain areas.

The VA is a BIG lie

Comments: THE VA Lies to Vets about forms that they say DO NOT apply or exsist. However, when forms suddenly appear at the Congressmans's office and then disapear for NO REASON.............one must wonder why. We need to start a Petetion that all Vets can sign and send it to the President and ask his office to look into our problems. If we could get someone who know how to start this to do it, then things WILL CHANGE! PLEASE, SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT IS GOOD AT THIS SORT OF THING..........PLEASE DO IT AND DEMAND THE US ADMIT TO AO IN KOREA IN 1959 TO 1970 They used it and they know it!

Agent Orange Exposure

Comments: I have been applying for VA Benefits for a neck and shoulder injury for roughly 5 years.

I have had to wear dark glasses for nearly 15 years, and thought all this was due to injuries while associated as a Naval dependant and complicated by an Army injury at Fort Benning.

Monday I am going to the VA Hospital to have an Agent Orange Physical.

What truly disapoints me in this whole matter is that the DOD knew I was exposed to Agent Orange and never relayed the information to me.

I believe every soldier who served on the DMZ, GP115, GP116 or other post or recon duty should be notified of this potential chemical hazard.

My mistake - I drank the water and mud when I thought it was neccessary!

START OF KOREAN WAR

Comments: I am not in a position to say much but the Korean War did not start in 1953. It actually started immediately after WWII. Almost 100,000 Japanese, North Koreans, et al were slaughtered in the name of communist aggression on the island of Cheju Do. This secret war or insurgency did not cease until about mid 80s. The US was deeply in this action because of the vital location of the Island and the military advantage it held. Look for some Agent Orange or other chemicals being used in that era.

Comments: After my tour April 76-May 77, I experienced numbness with my big toes & hands. Skin between my toes sluffed off for years, my back had severe achne for years. Later when my son was born (1989) he had deformed toes & ear? Has anyone experienced this? Today I suffer from migraines & joint paint. I was diagnosed with Osetho- arthritis at the age of twenty? I'm fifty two now. Does AO wear off over a period of time, if they sprayed late 60's-early 70's, I was there five years later would'nt we still be exposed? Lots of questions no answers. Does anyone have any ideas? Anyways all those who served in Korea God Bless you all.

To all Vets in Korea since 1962

Comments: I had a great call and conversation just after noon today (Wednesday - 5/14) with U.S. Congressman John Doolittle and his assistant Jeff Valuck. He is really hot to go on this and I am going to get one binder in final form for him and send it up there. He said he will get it copied and get it mailed out to all 80 guys (well and some ladies - mostly widows and Vet's Wives) on my list here AND he will get copies made for all members of the House and Senate and get them put in the Representatives and Senators hands.

Based on what he told me on the phone, the best place to be standing in the coming weeks is well behind the fan.

He has already started doing research and is talking with other Congressmen, including Rep. Bob Filner who chairs the House Committee on Veterans Affairs. As you may already know, Congressman Filner held a hearing late last week relating to apparently false statements and information by the Department and Secretary for Veterans Affairs before Congress relating to suicides among vets now returning home from Iraq. At the opening of that hearing Congressman Filner asked Secretary Peake if he should be asking for the resignations of other upper level staff of the VA or if he himself, the Secretary, should be resigning.

Long story short, Congress is not real happy to hear of the problems we (Veterans of the 2nd Korean War) are facing with the VA and Congressman Doolittle has promised to push very hard toward fixing this.

Each of you reading this who served in Korea since 1962 need to get busy writing your Congressmen and Sanators in Washington telling them to contact Congressman Doolittle and join in on this effort.

You can find your Congressional memnbers here:

http://www3.capwiz.com/mygov/dbq/officials/ < < < < COPY AND PASTE THIS IN BROWSER

Congressman Doolittle then plans to schedule a hearing on the issues affecting all Vets who served in Korea since 1962 and work toward getting them ruled Presumptive just as the Vietnam Vets were. He is very interested also in the fact that VA has not been sharing, or at least not paying attention to the Court rulings for other vets when a ruling is handed down. He feels that is a gross injustice on VA's part.

I am going to hook John up with a couple other congressmen who are helping with other vets to get this rolling. I feel good about this and I feel like he will spearhead this for us.

So the Appeals process may soon be mute when all the evidence comes out in Oversight Hearings in both the House and Senate in Washington. Stay tuff, Guys - there is bright light coming into sight in this 40 + year long tunnel.

We will now be "Fireing H.E. Rounds For Effect" on behalf of Vets from the 2nd Korean War! Let's keep the fire hot on VA and let them know we ALL WERE THERE!!

Re: Name Withheld City Withheld Service Number XXXXXXXXXX Camp Red Cloud, Uijongbu, Korea

Subject: Letter of Corroboration to Korean Tour of Duty

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter to support any and all conditions I experienced during my Korean tour of duty when serving in the United States Army with respect to the period 1968 through 1969.

I served in Korea from April 1968 through May 1969 stationed at the 38th Parallel Area of the DMZ - Camp Red Cloud (CRC), Uijongbu, Korea and was assigned to the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 21st Direct Support Group (HHC, 21st DSG)  8th Field Army Support Company, Camp Red Cloud, Uijongbu, Korea. As a former enlisted soldier, I was a Clerk Typist 71B30 and worked in the Headquarters Company, Security Plans and Operations (SPO) providing administrative duties to include and not limited to:

" Processing of NAC Background Security and update 201 files as needed for personnel requiring a Security Clearance. " Preparing and processing the Daily Morning Report. " Routine trips to Seoul, Korea transporting NAC documents. " Decorated Driver with DRIVER-W Badge and Driver of the Year Award.

In addition to my daily assigned duties there was a duty roster where on a regular basis Guard Duty was performed. Furthermore, when North Korean Guerilla Infiltrators would cross the DMZ into South Korea the alert sirens would sound, passes would be revoked and on numerous occasions I personally had to lock and load for patrol to seek and engage the enemy. Regardless as to ones MOS, a GI in the US Army was a soldier first, issued an M-14 and expected to engage and defend the Constitution of the United States and uphold what every GI swore at the time of raising our right hand when inducted.

The North Korean infiltrations were frequent and the mission was to assassinate the Republic of Korea ROK President Park. Name may be misspelled. In addition to local patrols, a serviceman such as I were loaded up on a deuce and ½ and driven to areas further North and in closer proximity to the DMZ. Regardless of your MOS, a soldier was required to take offensive and defensive action in full combat gear to seek and engage. If a GI was a cook, clerk, Officer, NCO, no matter what, defense came first and you were armed and prepared to lose your life for YOUR country. Unless a person has served in the Armed Forces a person cannot understand this mindset no matter how it is explained.

During my Korean tour the USS Pueblo was seized and attacked and the crew taken prisoner by NORTH Korean Forces. While serving in Korea our aircraft was fired upon and one month prior to my PCS to Ft. Lewis, WA one of our planes was shot down by hostile fire once again placing everyone on alert and prepared for war.

Areas where I was stationed and patrolled was brown lacking life and only recently has the Department of Defense made public the use of Agent Orange, Agent Blue and other herbicides, plus only recently did I realize why the area looked as it did. The entire Uijongbu Valley had been sprayed and northward to include the actual DMZ. The elimination of foliage was the only way to prevent an enemy North Korean Infiltrator from seeking shelter. The area in and around Uijongbu, Korea lacked life as evidenced by this picture of Hill 468 taken in 1969:

While stationed in Uijongbu I had to sleep when required on bare dirt ground and on one occasion and documented in my medical records I began to have a skin and scalp problem - disorder of which I have been medically treating to this day and I have been plagued by this unknown skin disorder since 1968. Only recently I became aware of Agent Orange testing offered by the VA and I have completed my screening with finding posted in my medical records.

From first hand knowledge and from also being the recipient of, I was physically and mentally abused by my Senior NCOs for the simple fact I am Jewish. Prejudice was common place during my tour of duty. On at least two occasions and documented with my Department of Veteran Affairs file I was physically assaulted and abused by my direct supervisor First Sergeant Cox and Sgt. Russell C. Heide, HHC 21st DSG, SPO, CRC. Even if you were not a Jew, Black or other ethnic category and if a higher ranking NCO or Officer did not like you had a major prejudice problem with potential for physical and mental abuse.

Sanitation conditions were less than healthy. Candidly speaking, the conditions at CRC were disgusting to include open bay showers lacking privacy, open urinals and toilets with razors and toothbrushes in open bays for shared use by anyone needing a shave or wanting to brush their teeth, plus you had to walk to the bays in sweltering heat during the summer and freezing conditions during the winter, Monsoon conditions, or whatever the condition was, the bays were not close where you could simply get out of bed and casually go and take a shower and shave or whatever you had to do. So much is taken for granted by all of us now, but until you experience how is was in Korea during this Post Korean War time period life is difficult to imagine.

I realize now the open bay showers and compound area within the barb wire fence and outside were a laboratory for blood born disease. The surrounding areas contained rice patties where human waste was dumped from the outhouses directly into the fields as sanitation, or lack thereof, was the norm. Raw feces and sewerage was common in village dirt roads and on a daily basis every GI who served where I served was subjected to blood born disease. Rats and who knows what other rodents shared quarters. The Monsoons brought out millions of little green frogs and the insects were as though you were in Borneo with honey over your body saying, come sting and eat me. Looking back, Korea was a post Korean War cesspool and smelled of it.

The barracks or Quonset huts we were boarded in were what would now be considered medieval in nature. Metal half circular buildings the Army called home with oil burning stoves on each end lacking the sufficient punch or BTUs to warm winter temperatures reaching as low as -20 degrees below zero F. The smoldering hot, feces stench summer days where the temperature would be in the 90s and 100 degree plus range with only a fan to help a soldier from becoming sick. The conditions as I explained warranted general and daily issue of salt tablets and if I am not mistaken Malaria pills to treat or prevent disease.

I have some blank or black out periods in my memory where I have learned of hostile fire and engagements, but what I have provided I swear to and attest to as first hand knowledge and experience. For myself, I have been diagnosed with PTSD and attend on a regular basis Group therapy at the XXXXXXXXXXX Health Care System, XXXXXX, XXXXXXXXXX. The Clinical Psychologist heading our group is [NAME WITHHELD] and for a period of approximately three years prior I had twice weekend one on one sessions with Dr. [NAME WITHHELD] who is a Clinical Psychologist at the XXXXXXX Vet Center who has helped me tremendously come to terms with my Korean experiences.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at anytime. My apologies beforehand for any and all date, or time period errors contained in this letter. I am able to state categorically all the experiences stated are true and did occur. Individual guard duty, KP, abuse and alike were not and will not be documented in a GIs file. Documenting routine DMZ Patrol and events was common place and came with the turf. Unless there were extenuating circumstances, events such as I have attested to were typical day to day life events which were NOT documented in an individuals file and to believe or suggest they should have been is ludicrous and unreasonable.

Respectfully,

I developed diabetes shortly after discharge in 1993 and have very visual dreams of being held POW. I am also very suspicious of people and do not trust easily, which has led to interpersonal problems at work. Iam now using insuline and have been on anti-anxiety meds at different times.

Comments: My claim has been denied twice and now for my 2nd appeal after 5+ years remanded to Washington D.C. for disposition. So far VA basically denied all my experiences, DMZ Patrol, Agent Orange, North Korean Infiltrators, Skin Problems, PTSD and just about everything because they say, "Mr. Bernstein, you personnel file does not state you went out on patrol" and this and that sort of crap. Well BS to that.

And to make matters worse the people making the VA claim decisions are outsourced with a hidden agenda to save the goverment money and NOT grant compensation. A lot of these so called evaluators are young, never served a day and don't have a clue hoping you will just go away or die; but don't give up, you are not dead yet. I am still alive and will fight this to the end.

I vent my frustration at the VA Hospital during regular PTSD Group sessions. :-) And also now and right here.

Recently I have been to touch with others to corroborate what I have claimed and I am now submitting additional evidence; letters from others who served with me at Camp Red Cloud and in the same unit I was in. If you have not already filed a claim DO IT as it will take a long time, VA will screw with you, but hang in there. I am going on 6 years now and still being screwed with.

VA RECOGNIZES AGENT ORANGE USED IN KOREA

During the March 2003 VSCM call, we provided information regarding the use of Agent Orange in Korea along the DMZ, including the units in the area during the period in which Agent Orange was sprayed. DoD has provided a correction to two of the cited units. Previously reported as the 109th and 209th Infantry, those units were actually the 1/9th and 2/9th Infantry. A corrected listing of units follows:

The four combat brigades of the 2nd Infantry Division:

If you receive a claim from a veteran who alleges service at the DMZ during the period April 1968 to July 1969, and who was assigned to one of the above units, please concede exposure to herbicides. Therefore, there is no need to contact C&P Service in these cases.

For all other claims of herbicide exposure, ask the claimant for a detailed description of the exposure, including the location, approximate date(s) and nature of the exposure. You should also ask the claimant for proof of exposure, such as "buddy" statements, photographs taken during service or letters written during service. Once the detailed exposure information is obtained and there is no evidence of exposure, provide this information to Cheryl Konieczny via email. We will then consult DoD's Agent Orange listing of use, test and disposal of Agent Orange.

2d Session

S. 2914

To recognize and honor the soldiers of the United States and the Republic of Korea who served, were wounded, or were killed from 1953 until the present in the defense of the Republic of Korea, to require the placement of a commemorative plaque at the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and for other purposes.

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

May 19, 2006 Mr. DEWINE introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A BILL

To recognize and honor the soldiers of the United States and the Republic of Korea who served, were wounded, or were killed from 1953 until the present in the defense of the Republic of Korea, to require the placement of a commemorative plaque at the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the `DMZ War Veterans Recognition Act of 2006'.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that--

(1) the Korean War, which began in 1950 and ended when the Korean War Armistice was signed in 1953, is commonly known as the `Forgotten War';

(2) a later war in Korea, known only to some veterans and their families as the `Unknown War' or the `DMZ War', occurred long after the Korean War Armistice was signed in 1953;

(3) according to military documents, the leadership of North Korea issued a declaration of war against the United States in a speech in 1966, which read that `U.S. imperialists should be dealt blows and their forces dispersed to the maximum in Asia. . . .';

(4) the 124th Special Forces unit of North Korea--

(A) was trained--

(i) to destroy the camps and civilians of the United States;

(ii) to disrupt travel and communication between the Armed Forces; and

(iii) to sabotage and assassinate the government officials of South Korea and the United States; and

(B) repeatedly confronted the soldiers of the United States and the Republic of Korea when crossing through the Demilitarized Zone;

(5) since the Armistice was signed, over 40,000 Armistice violations have occurred, many of which involved troops of the United States who were stationed in and around Korea;

(6) some of those violations, like the capture of the USS Pueblo, caught the attention of the media, although most have not;

(7) since the end of the Korean War, many soldiers of the United States have died or been wounded in Korea as a result of hostile fire;

(8) some veterans of the Republic of Korea suffer from exposure to Agent Orange, which was used during a period that began in 1968 and ended in 1969 in and around the DMZ;

(9) because the hazardous properties of Agent Orange last for at least 100 years, soldiers of the United States who later served in the Demilitarized Zone had been exposed to the chemical long after the Armed Forces stopped using it;

(10) the military personnel of the United States who served in the Korean War during the period that began in 1966 and ended in 1969 received the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal; and

(11) a few of the soldiers who fought and died in the Korean War have been--

(A) nominated posthumously for the Congressional Medal of Honor; and

(B) awarded--

(i) the Silver Star or Bronze Star for valor in combat; and

(ii) the Purple Heart for being wounded in combat.

SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

(a) Plaque- The term `plaque' means the plaque directed to be placed at the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. under section 4(a).

(b) Secretary- The term `Secretary' means the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director of the National Park Service.

SEC. 4. PLACEMENT OF COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUE.

Not later than November 11, 2009, the Secretary shall place on or near the grounds of the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., a plaque to commemorate the sacrifices of those who served, were wounded, or were killed from 1953 until the present in the defense of the Republic of Korea, that contains the following inscription (in which the bracketed space shall include the date on which the plaque is placed): `Dedicated to the soldiers of the United States and the Republic of Korea who served, were wounded, or were killed from 1953 until the present in the defense of the Republic of Korea. The efforts of those soldiers have enabled the Republic of Korea to develop into a successful and modern country. Since 1953, the Armed Forces of the United States experienced more than 40,000 `Armistice violation incidents.' Those incidents have caused the deaths of over 100 soldiers of the Armed Forces of the United States and the wounding of hundreds more from hostile fire in the Korean Peninsula and its surrounding waters. Unknown to most citizens, the soldiers of the United States and the Republic of Korea fought and won the `DMZ War' between November 1966 and December 1969. That war caused the majority of the Armistice casualties. We remember the service, sacrifice, and valor of all of those soldiers on this 40th anniversary of the start of the DMZ War. Their fellow soldiers and their families will never forget them. Let this Plaque aid their countries to remember them as well. Placed this day, [XXXXXXXXXX].'. END

over 50 yeays with a rash on my skin

Comments: I hope I may help another Korean Vet. i read notes from DMZ vets. suffering from asian orange that were used in Korea during and after the war.I spent a tour of duty in Korea in 53 and 54 i had an ankle sprung from a mine being stepped on in a tunnel and the tun-nel caved in killing the two that were with me.the only record of this incident was a simple statement saying I was treated on so and so date. I don't have my copy of that statement. I sent it to the veterans affairs trying to get service connected on PTS and like all my records that were destroyed in a fire it is now lost. I was told after screening for PTS that I should apply for service connected. turned down let that be!when I was treated for the ankle that was bruised to above my knee and I also had some kind of a rash. The doctor told me he was more concerned with the rash than the ankle, he gave me some medication and a note saying I was to be on light duty for two weeks and that was it. The rash has ben with me for well over 50 years the hide on the bottom of my feet wold peel off, then after several years my feet was ok but the shin on one side did the same thang. the rash has moved from one part of my body to another every since i left Korea. I have never ask to be treated for it, just lived with it! I just want it to be known these problems do exist in us Korean Vets.

Looking for 2nd Engineers 1967 to 1970

Comments: Please contact me. I am looking for any and all former members of the 2nd Engineer Battalion from any Company who served in Korea at any time in 1967 thru 1970.

Several of your brothers are still fighting the effects of our time in Korea. We need photos, copies of Combat Pay orders, statements of duties of the 2nd Engineers who worked in and along the DMZ or who were in my Company, E Company (Float Bridge).

Right now I am working with several guys from 2nd Engineer Battalion who have multiple health issues as a direct result of exposure to Agent Orange. Yes guys, that stuff sprayed along the fence, around the guard towers and the Guard Posts and Out Posts we were building was the infamous Agent Orange. The stuff sprayed along the roads inside the Zone and around the bridgeheads at Freedom, Libby and the Spoonbill Bridges was Agent Orange. The stuff sprayed around our compounds to kill the brush and weeds was Agent Orange.

Even if you have not had any symtoms, like Diabetes, heart problems, a variety of different cancers, or any other health issues, we need to hear from you. And if you are fighting or have faught with VA for care and compensation for these health problems, we need to hear from you. And most importantly, if you had children conceived after your return from Korea who were born with birth defects, we need to hear from you. If you have been successful in winning a claim filed for Agent Orange poisoning or PTSD as a result of your service in Korea, it is very important for you to contact me.

Even though I am just a former Captain and Company Commander, I made a promise 40 years ago to stand up for my men and to back them in anything as long as they did what the officers and NCOs asked them to do. I take that promise very seriously and now, 40 years later, I will continue to back and stand up for our men. It is very important that I hear from you as soon as possible. For many of your brothers, the time could be very short, but they have families who will need help even if it is too late for the men themselves.

If you can and will help, please contact me at my email: pesteward@hotmail.com, or call me at (706) 996 - 4057.

Thank you.

Agent Orange Korea 1962

Comments: I was in Korea from May 1962 until March 1964 and in August of 1962 I saw a plane spraying defoliant on a hill side. The spray drifted over a rice paddy and killed it. The American Government paid to have new soil hauled in,the rice replanted and gave that village more rice to eat until that crop was ready to harvest. I also know that when I was on the 38th as an observer when I first went to Korea in May of '62 the North Koreans open fire in a Navy Bomber that was spraying the 38th with defoliant. My squad returned fire and saved the Navy plane from being shot down. I am looking for others who were in Korea at that time and rmember that incident on the DMZ.

Korea 68-69

Comments: I served in Korea from March 68 to May 69. I went to the VA for an Agent Orange related problem that I have. I have peripheral Neuropathy but because I do not have any of the listed illnesses, I was turned down. I also mentioned about a back problem I have had sense leaving Korea. I hurt my back during a PT exercise but because the Doctor, at the time, could not find anything on the xray, VA turned me down. It took damn near 30 yrs to find the problem and it was an SI joint that kept slipping in and out and not is out for good, also the other side now. They did a special test to find it, I found a good doctor that knew what to look for. Anyway I read on here about some type of medal for serving over in Korea durning that period. Can anyone tell me where to look for info on that medal? Thank you all for serving in that Forgotten country and durning that time.
