Re: defining the word SERVED on the perimeter, Agent Orange
First, the Army Manual is 500 meters ( yards ) not 500 feet. Which is a good size distance, Second, the VA has admitted herbicides were used on Thai bases between 1961 and 1975 as stated in May 2010 CP Bulletin and VA Reg M21-1MR it uses to determine claims. i believe records in St Louis are personnel records only and not military base records. There is alot of miss informed people out there. There was a Udorn vet who contacted a VSO this year to file a herbicide claim in Thailand and Vso stated he needed boots on ground to file a claim. The vet asked the VSO if he had read the Checo Report and his comment was, Whats that?
