SGT Jonathon Caldwell thanks for the post, this is a serious disease and killed my father law of lung-cancer from Vietnam in 1968-1969 and 1971-1972 in Nam. Great read!

Definitely Agree! Cancer from Agent Orange, Napalm, & ‘burn pits’ extremely prevalent in Vietnam Veterans...

Please Do So! If you need assistance, connect & message me...I got myself from 20% to 100% and I completed and submitted the paperwork myself. Will assist if needed.

SPC Nancy Greene - Good for you SPC, long hard fight with them. I have spent years trying for 100 T&P without the unemployability rider of 5%. Unemployability was the only feature for my finally getting the 100% at 55yo, not the blast/shrapnel damage for loss of 25% of thigh muscle and 25% of chest wall muscle, shrapnel in the lung, hearing damage etc etc. Have given up trying to get that last 5% and get rid of the unemployability. They fight tooth and nail to keep that 100% on combat wounds away.

It definitely needs to be. This poison has affected so many veterans and their families in so many different ways. I am not sure we will ever be able to list all of them.
