Have you Submitted your Agent Orange Claim?

I agree with you! Agent Orange does not break down where it is no longer harmful. There are hundreds of thousands of Americans and Vietnamese that would dispute this VA statement.

Wonder how if it breaks down like they said that Agent Orange that was sprayed where We were in Da Nang, Vietnam that still now in 2024 nothing will grow there How about guys in my unit there died from the exposure ? That was 52 years ago and it's till NOT broken down ! Whomever mad that claim it's no long harmful is either stupid as anything or an outright liar or both ! Both children from Americans and the Vietnamese had birth defects due to their parents exposure. It's so bad that area had to have a concrete sealing cover poured over it by our own Federal Government and be fenced off to protect people The photo shown here is the area where the barrels of Agent Orange were stored and as You can see nothing is growing there ! the AO was also sprayed on our own perimeter where Me and My buddies worked and quite few of them have died because of that !

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter - That picture is a vivid reminder of how bad Agent Orange was and still is today. It also disproves the claim that Agent Orange would break down and not be harmful.

SGT Robert Urbaniak Thank you for sharing good news!

A few of the guys I served with in the 366th Security Police Squadron died due to the Agent Orange exposure at Da Nang . My friend Sergeant Frank Donahue, one that was getting hassle from the VA I wrote a letter supporting His claim esp as the place they questioned where He worked the Federal Government had spent over 116 Million dollar trying to clean it up due to Agent Orange. To this day nothing will grow there. I pointe that out in my letter. I also included a photo of both of us together there in our combat uniforms. Agent Orange was used on our own perimeter where both of us worked and We also worked a bunker within 100 feet of where thousands of barrels of Agent Orange were stored. We even worked around the C123 aircraft from 12th Special Operations Squadron "Ranch Hands" that actually did the spraying. His Doctor used My letter and photo. He got His 100% Disabled status and they paid Him back to the date He applied three years prior. He died 6 months later.

I has two local good friends that died from agent orange, it was like 50 years later it creeped up on them and took their lives.

SGM John Barnett - No an agent orange claim but it took them over a year and a half to decide my hearing loss claim. They said they couldn't find my service records, yeah right!

just an update I just received an update from the VA about my claim which was based on an increase in my current VA disability. They did in fact increase my disability, but they also told me they had screwed me out of benefits since 2022. The following month I received the increase in my direct deposit however, I didn’t see the backpay. I waited several months and still never heard a thing, whenever I would call they’d say we’re working on it. I finally decided to take it further. I contacted my Senator and what’s strange is three days after I contacted her. I received an email from her office stating that a check for $18,000 would be placed in my account within the next three days. This is pure garbage to have to contact the United States Senator to have these people do their job. I, like Leroy Jethro Gibbs don’t believe in coincidence.
