Re: TDY 8/72- and trying to prove it!
I went there on Constant Guard in September of 1972 from Nellis with the 474th TFW. I am in poor health with many of the problems listed for AO exposure. I just found a copy of my orders with the names and SSN#'s of everyone who was deployed on those order. They've recently declared that the perimeter of Takhli was sprayed with AO. I have been talking with a VA advocate. He says you have to prove three things. 1. you were there. 2. you have illnesse presumtive of AO. 3. That you were in the area at some point where AO was used. I'm currently trying to locate any of the other people on the orders.
