  1. Thank you so much for all of your great information. My husbands MOS was 13 A 10. He was in: Battery "A" 1st Battalion 187th Artillery New York National Guard from June 23, 1969 to June 22, 1977. I am very naïve to all of this, please bear with me. 1. What does BVA, stand for? 2. What would a "Buddy Statement" consist of? 3. We still have close contact with a few buddies that were with him during this time. 4. Who would I contact to start this process. 5. My husband is a member of our local American Legion Post. Thank you again for your time.
  2. My husband was in the New York Army National Guard from June 1969 until Jan 1977..His summer camp duties for his years of service were at Camp Drum, NY. He does have some va benefits due to being called to active duty for Operation Graphic Hands in March 1970, he has a Veterans Universal Access Identification card. Thirteen drums of Agent Orange were sprayed at Camp Drum on 4 square miles from a helicopter spray device in 1959. From what I have read residue can linger for many, many years. In 1995 my husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. He condition is considered severe. I have all medical paper work for his illness and am in the process of getting all official dates of his time at Camp Drum. Don't know where to begin, We went to VA about 10 years ago and were more or less laughed at and told we needed to get Ariel pictures. In the next sentence were told that the area was a no fly zone and we would be prohibited to go on to the property to take pictures. We were also told not to waste our time filling out forms. We came home and did nothing. Due to his declining health, I am now thinking I should try again to see what might be available to him. Don't know where to begin, I need an advocate to help me. Thank you for listening to me.
