can anyone help me find what I need to prove my case on agent orange ?? I to was in guam & thailand in the early 70's was with the 43 rd supply sq. in guam and the 635 th supply sq at utapo . I can remember them spraying around the pump houses and around the hydrant line's but didn't think anything about it until now !! I have heart problem's , prostrate cancer ,DMll and several other things ! I have two open claims but still need proof > picture's of sprayed areas or pictures of drums of the herbicides stored on base . Use Forum Messenger to contact this veteran.

"His military occupational duties as an aircraft

maintenance specialist allegedly required him to work in an

air field, the perimeter of which was continuously brown due

to herbicide spraying every three months. The veteran also

alleges that he recalls seeing storage barrels at the edge of

the base, which he now knows housed herbicides. Following

discharge, Anderson Air Force base in Guam, where the veteran

was stationed, underwent an environmental study, which showed

a significant amount of dioxin contamination in the soil and

prompted the federal government to order a clean up of the

site."

"He has submitted copies of articles indicating that Agent

Orange may have been stored and/or used on Guam from 1955 to

the late 1960s, which is the time period during which the

veteran served there. These articles also reflect that in

the 1990s, the Environmental Protection Agency listed

Anderson Air Force base as a toxic site with dioxin

contaminated soil and ordered clean up of the site. Given

this evidence, particularly, the articles reflecting the

latter information, and the veteran's testimony, which is

credible, the Board accepts that the veteran was exposed to

herbicides during his active service in Guam. "

DMII due to AO granted

I have the Walter Kaeli decision page one-

This is a VARO decision!from a DRO! I have only seen 3-4 AO outside of Nam awards coming from VAROs-

We have no access to RO decisions and I forget just how Walter contacted me with his stuff.Maybe he is a member here? I think it was at SVR radio show ???? I did some shows on AO outside of Vietnam.

I have other docs from Walter-=never had time to read find and read them- but the decision shows he had doc from House of Reps dated 11-5-1987, 5 separate GAO reports on herbicides,used in Guam, copy of another vet's BVA guam decision and copy from Office of Undersecretary of Defense letter dated Sept 2003.

Probably these are the docs he had sent to me-the ones they used as evidence to award- and all could be obtained on the internet I am sure.

DMII -AO exposure in Guam.Granted by DRO at Newark VARO.

Kurt Priessman (First AO Thailand award-also at regional level) and James Cripps(first recent CONUS award)

did extensive research, FOIAS etc whatever it took to prove their exposure to AO.

And in these situations (AO outside of Vietnam) there can never be too much evidence.

If I remember correctly many of these claims have had to go to the BVA for approval. I would suggest you also go there and read how they were presented.

Also keep in mind it my be a long battle keep the strength!
