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???? 

Hi! My Father was also a helicopter mechanic working on Hueys based out of Fairbanks Alaska during these times and also reported that he thinks he was exposed and remembers seeing barrels somewhere in the helicopters or nearby...he has ishemic heart disease and lung issues including COPD...I can be reached at 323-741-0044 Shannon (my office number) I would like to talk to anyone else that may have been there during that time

Hello! I am wondering if anyone here can help me help my father an Army Vet who was also a helicopter mechanic during the same years you are discussing above. He stated to me that he remembers barrels with orange stripes on them that were used for AO. I am attempting to gather more information and send in a claim for him. His name is Frank Travers-he was a drummer at the time and would sneak off the base at night to go into Fairbanks to play...unfortunately he went into the reserves after being in Alaska and he was shot in the head by a police officer as a passenger in a car and since then has struggled to survive on social security and a measly 140 from the VA-he has heart disease and lung issues (I think from exposure) and many deficits from the bullet still in his head-I am desperate to get him more money from the VA and any help from others that may have been there at the same time would be wonderful. I can be reached at 323-741-0044 (my office number). Shannon
