The VA doesn't have this on their list of A/O distribution on the dates that this happen. Is there anything that can prove what you and I saw?
Jim,
I was there in 67 & 68 with the KC-135 tankers. I worked on the flight line as an aircraft electrician. I remember about Hanoi Hanna. I knew about the spraying of vegetation. I witnessed the empty chemical drums being used by the Thai guards on the flight line to hold up their shade umbrellas. I now have myasthenias gravis, a muscle/ immune system disease which I believe was caused by A/O. I am currently preparing to file a claim.

I had a minor surgery Jan. 1979 USAF in Lubbock, Tx the night before nurses and medics rushed into my room saying I was having a heart attack, I was 31 yrs old at the time and in 1996 at 49 I had a major heart attack (5-way bypass).
Now I find out from my cardiologist that agent orange is a cause of my heart problems. But I have been wondering Hanoi Hanna said she was sending the Cong there in time for the Kings birthday Dec. 05, 1968. I remember crawling thru the jungle and getting ready for this event. Nothing happened but I know they were clearing a perimeter so we could see when we are being attacked. Does anyone remember this and has anyone know if agent orange was distributed around the base?
