I have a picture showing a Huey that crashed in Viet Nam with AO aboard. A passenger on this Huey stated it actually was a Huey and that he had been covered by AO. I have a poster published by the VA showing a Huey spraying over a field in Viet Nam. I do not know how to contact any members of his unit. He was in trans med helicopter, 19th Aviation Battalion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have attempted to locate anyone from his unit but with no success. He was with trans med helicopter unit 19rh aviation battalion. He served from October 1966 to May 1968 when he was discharged. He was in Alaska during the great earthquake on June 28, 1967 and the great floods 2 weeks or so later. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My husband worked on the UH 1 Huey and yes they were used. I have pictures from my research actually showing a Huey crashing carrying a barrel of agent orange on board with the veteran stating the type of helicopter and that he had been covered with the agent orange. I also have a copy of a poster printed by the VA showing a Huey spraying AO in Viet Nam stating that any veteran who felt he had been exposed to these chemicals should contact the VA. Even with this, they are still fighting tooth and nail. I assume because it would open another can of worms should the claim be awarded merit. I spoke with other 2 claims and they have helped me greatly.

My husband spent 18 months at Ft Wainwright Fairbanks Alaska 1967 - 68.. I have obtained reports from the 2 Indian Tribes where the US government admitted to spraying Agent Orange on Pipeline. I have report from DEC in Alaska where Corps of Engineers admit to spraying in Alaska. I am trying to locate anyone who may have claims approved for this same area. I now am looking for anyone at Ft. Wainwright who may have served during this same era who may have any pictures of storage of agent orange on base or pictures of the bare pipeline. I forgot to mention that I also have letters from the US Army to the Canadian government outlining the spraying of agent orange. Any info would be appreciated or if anyone can put me in contact with veterans from Ft. Wainwright serving during the same time as my husband. He was a helicopter mechanic who worked on some of the Hueys returning from Viet nam which had been used for spraying agent orange. Any help????

My husband was stationed at Fort Wainwright Alaska. The Haines Fairbank pipeline was sprayed with agent orange according to my research. Letters were written from US Army to Canadian officials asking permission to spray pipeline that ran through Canada. We have filed a claim but I feel it is going to be denied because no claims have been won for Alaska. These letters surfaced late in 2002 according to DEC. I really need a copy of these letters. Does anyone out there know how to go about this. I have contacted DEC by phone but my call has not been returned. Any help????? By the way, my husband has ischemic heart disease, Parkinsonism Symptoms, and peripheral neuropathy. He is confined to a wheel and has no use of his arms and now his voice is going. Thanks for ANY help.
