Re: Direct exposure to herbicides @ Takhli 12/66 - 12/67
I have a question. Why have the people who actually applied AO or herbecides not come forward to say they did spray the perimeters at Takhli and other Thai bases? I was there 9/68--9/69 and was an augmentee on perimeter and a parachute rigger handling hundreds of drag chutes per day. Thes drag chutes constantly came into contact with AO due to the fact when detached from the 105's and other aircraft were blown into the perimeter. From that exposure I have type 11 diabetes and have had heart attack. I have not seen or heard from anyone who applied the chemicals at Takhli. Where are these people? If they are out there they should come forward. We all need their help.
