Hello all!
I was stationed in Vietnam in the latter part of 1970 to June of 1971. I was assigned to the 59th Field Service Company at Cam Ranh.
I was Corporal of the Guard for the 59th and so was permanently assigned to lie out in the perimeters of Cam Ranh and its environs
to include road work from trucks. We were periodically sprayed directly with chemicals from silver C-123s that were largely unmarked,
as well as the occasional Huey. All of the plants in our area were very large and very stunted, nothing more than one to three feet off of the ground, all curled over. Does ANYONE have any photos of these aircraft in their personal albums that they would be willing to share?
I have areas of my legs that are numb, sarcomas that have been cut off of my tendons/nerves of my left wrist and have been diagnosed
with hypertension and borderline diabetes. I don't drink, smoke or take drugs. I only just submitted a claim for Agent Orange. Any assistance would be deeply appreciated.
