Hello my friend! I too need proof of exposure to herbicides while at Takhli. I was TDY out of Homestead AFB, FL in April - June of 1972. I was with the 31st Combat Support Group assigned to Demand Processing/Base Supply Inventory. VA states that my medical records do not show exposure. I guess not because I never went to the hospital or the dispensary. I helped deliver parts as well as 55 gal drums of herbicides with Ryan Stevenson during our shift at night. I have HBP, Type II Diabetes, ED, lost part of my right lung to a 9 mm lump in the upper right corner and the VA says they still need more information because my medical records don't show anything. I need buddy letters from those who remember me stating I worked with you, helped deliver herbicides/parts to flight line/perimeter areas and helped clear the area known as ”Tent City”! When were we told about the ”Drift Zone” from the herbicide spraying? Help me! I am a Warrior as well as the rest who were there and we need to stand together. Congress and the government agencies are still denying Vietnam veterans who served in Thailand the respect they deserve. We hear Thank you, but their actions say differently!
