[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 967035, member: 25383"] out of my squad there are three or four of us alive. Not positive about the fourth, but last I heard he was still out there. I was the only one hit with the spray, as the others were in a bunker complex. Plus it could have been the time I got hit with it down on Gator. And who knows how many places I visited that had been sprayed before I showed up. I have six children (all adults), and nine grandchildren. Four of the six kids had something wrong with them at birth. Thankfully it was minor in two of them. One was born sterile, and the other had several issues. He's blind in one eye, but otherwise healthy. Of my grandchildren, four were preemies, and there were many issues in their early childhood. All are OK now. Just too many cases here to be a rare event! I might add here that the fifth had two operations on her before she was 19 years old. The VFW and the DAV seem to be the ones ontop of the data. Their data is constantly evolving by the week, and one needs to stay ontop of it. It scares the crap out of me! Half the Vietnam vets will have diabetes before they are 62! Guess what? There's a direct link to Agent Orange. A list of cancers that is close to thirty last I heard. The NVA could have began to kill this many of us if they really wanted to! Where were you based out of? I hit Chu Lai on the tenth of December 1967, and was sent down to Gator (Hardrock 59er for you Marines). After Tet we did several big ops south of Quang Ngai. Did do some stuff out towards Kam Duc, but that was pretty much a broken op. Most of my extracurricular activities were in the Que Son Valley and out on the Lao Border. Got as far north as five klicks south of the Ashau Valley for an OP with the 101st, but it was suspended right as it started. We did put a hundred rounds or so in there.
