Just wanted to say thank you for your service. My husband is a Vietnam Vet as well and was heavily exposed to agent Orange. Can any of your problems be from your service? I hope you have filed for benefits as they are constantly adding new things.

I have Leukemia which was linked to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. The VA awarded 100% disability for that. Problem is I was already rated at 100% combined due to my combat injuries. So thanks for nothing. I was exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam. I saw that stuff being sprayed over the DMZ and we went into that area a few days later. I’m waiting for the hammer to fall. Several of my friends who served with me developed Parkinson’s and/or cancer. You gotta love how we were treated while in the service. Expendable is my choice of words.
