Contact Steve DeWitte in CT. He just told me last week that a member of one of his Support Group Chapters, served in Vietnam and was diagnosed with Agent Orange induced PD. This person just spoke at a recent (January) lunch meeting.

Yes, I would be the and same Patrick428 on VBN. I don't get on VBN much anymore, for obvious reasons. My PD has worsened not leaving the ability to be involved in a sustained level. Like some PD people fatigue and the pain associated with rigidity hamper my ability to participate.

My husband was a Marine but never went overseas. He remembers though, as a child and teenager pesticides being sprayed over his hometown, Piedmont CA. They would do it at night. He remembers wiping off the residue off of his windows in the a.m. We contribute the chemicals to his early onset.

He or you would have obtain sites in the US and overseas where AO was stored. I do know about Ft. McCellen and certain times on the DMZ in Korea. The VA also maintains a ship directory of those exposed to AO. I don't have the links handy as they are on my desktop, but Google the information.
