The archives there have been of great help to many and the two new site links are there as well.
Please pass on to any Navy veterans you know, who served during the War, that if they have an AO presumptive ,and they serviced within the 12 mile limit of the coast, they will receive equitable processing as with all incountry Vietnam veterans, due to the momentous decisions that past tear ( Procopio and HR 299).
If they were denied in the past for an AO presumptive due to no 'BOG', whether that VA decision was an award for something else, or a denial for the presumptive, the decision should contain a rating, as NSC for the denied AO presumptive ( but it might not) and that decision could potentially bring them a large retro check.
They should check here first to see if their ship is on the AO Ship's list ( but even if it isn't they should dig out their deck logs to see if their ship was within that 12 mile limit during the war.
The October 2019 ship's list is in this forum as well as link to National Archives, if they need their deck logs- because NARA has many, deck logs available, listed by ship, at their site.
The AO ship's list ( Oct 2019) could grow even more and I will post if I get info on that.
If you know of any Blue Water Navy widow, they too should be advised of Hr 299 and Procopio.
VA said ,months ago, they would not be going through claims files that could indicate a veteran would now potentally be considered for AO due to their BWN status- But they ARE doing that- I only hope that if the veteran's file shows they are deceased, that their spouse will be notified with the same type of letter that Navy vets are getting.
