Hello my fellow Vets. Today I received my B.B.E. from the V.A. It contained my Denial for my claim submitted 2/15 for Prostrate Cancer as a result of Agent Orange exposure. After submitting my claim I found this forum, and learned that I should not have used the words Agent Orange. I am a Thailand Vet stationed at Udorn R.T.A.F.B. from 4/69 till 2/70 at which time I was discharged at Travis A.F.B. Calif. My hooch was about 100 ft. from the Base perimeter fence line & Kill zone. So after reading some of the post from this forum, I will be claiming "BOOTS ON THE GROUND" in my N.O.D. along with other items that I have found on the forum. So fellow Vets. move over, 1 more hamster reporting for duty on that Wheel. I would appreciate any and all ideas and suggestions, leading to a better decision on my claim. Thank you. And THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. I hope this is the correct forum for this. If not please move to the right one.

Thanks to all for the information. I'm awed by the responds. This just shows it does take a village to raise a child.
