Buck, this question was from this past May, and I didn't even see  it because I was not here for about 3 weeks due to a ridiculous argument , as you might recall, involving  a former member.

It hurts me to know that no on else here answered this question. Agent Orange is the most important issue of my life and has been since 1991.

But the info they needed was already in our AO forum  and here it is again:

To add, much is going on with Blue Water Navy vets exposed to AO---

The full story on this is in our AO forum,
