John Wells , mentioned in the article and John Rossie ( BWNVVA) have been fairly recent guests at the Blog radio shows, and explained more about this proposed "fix" to BWN situation for Navy vets  who might have been potentially exposed to AO.

Of course I am wondering if Nehmer would kick in for them, because the AO came directly from incountry Vietnam.But we just need to wait and see how this all plays out.

Thanks... he didnt really say much.....but at least he is considering this issue and has a lot of input from vets on it--(the Inbox referral) I am a member of Blue Water Navy Assoc and they have been relentless, as well as many BWN vets, in pursuing this important issue.

Why did the question from Valdago , say Brown Water vets were having so many claims denied? That surprised me.

There are many brown water vessels, boats , etc etc on the VA's AO ship's list. If they were in the Vietnam tributaries ,the Sailors aboard them  were exposed to AO.
