Agent Orange Granted

[Berta]

The veteran was recently awarded by the AMC -it wont be posted at the BVA web site for maybe a few months-

the only evidence he submitted and knew of that they (VA)used to award and confirm exposure was this:

Apparently his Army MOS put him there and then.

The VA in 2006 had confirmed he served at Fort Greeley Alaska- Dec 1963- May 1965 and that also was listed as evidence.

Nothing whatsoever is impossible with the VA.

Thanks Berta, This just helps me add to my exposure to AO, I was in Fairbanks in 1964-66, Korea DMZ in 1968, and Vietnam in 1968-69, so I guess it helps to explain why my symptoms were and are so severe.

Berta, they could find the herbicide agent orange in my back yard and the Veterans Administration would find a way to deny it was there.

We now need a list of everywhere ESTERON was sprayed, since that was the name that they called AO in Alaska and who knows where else.

Hello Everyone, Thank you Berta for posting this. I hope to see a BVA docket number or case number as this will help any vet from Fort Greely who is sick and their are a bunch of us. I want to post some other pertinent sites that have clear unrebutted evidence of Dioxins and Agent Orange in Alaska, and Fort Greely. Using these government documents will propel the "preponderance of evidence" to the veterans side if used in conjunction with the Doctors Nexus and test/opinions. I am patiently fighting this too so hopefully this will help and I am going to use the info you posted as more evidence later. It ties into my job as Heavy Equipment Operator with Post Engineers.

There is alot of incredible evidence on the Fort Greely Restoration Advisory board website so you will have to take your time. The breakdown of the sites and the actual monitoring and remediation and its level of cleanup are all there. I also will have some more to post later next week as I will have completed my visit with a leading authority in the world concerning dioxins. I spoke with him yesterday and he has said he would like to talk to me further when he is back in his city. Never give up and put the VA on the defensive. Make them look bad on why they have not supplied you evidence and make them look foolish when they ask for evidence they already have.Always remind them they already have it. I am copying everything to my Congressman and Senator from now on and to the House of Veterans Affairs and the Senate Veterans Affairs.So whoever touches my material or Cfile knows that the paper trail goes to some others who can make a difference. Our elected officials need to know why the VA ask for material they already have in my case and I am sure in many other Vets cases. Just trying to make someone at the VA mad and have to look over their shoulder and to not write the wrong answer or ask for the wrong evidence , especially concerning the VA most famous trick........ redundancy request of information already supplied.....the wonderful VCAA letter and the "duty to assist" DON"T EVER GIVE UP". God Bless, C.C.

My drill sargent past away at 59 yrs old ......He was Vietnam AO and did not get his claim in before he died. God Bless, .....NEVER GIVE UP.
