I lost my husband to the results of two tours in Viet Nam and exposure to AO. He was 100% Priority One, Purple Heart Awardee disabled. He flew 407 fixed wing combat missions in his two tours.
Sorry for your loss. Salute to all of our heroes. My brother was still waiting for the VA to approve his claim. His diabetes was the main claim but he died from melanoma. He also had a son who was born deaf.
I’m sorry for your loss. I do worry, our family farm sprayed 2-4D for many, many moons and as a kid we never wore protection when mixing, nor did we care if we splashed the stuff on us or breathed the overspray. Back then, we were thankful to have the stuff.
No one in my family ever contracted any cancers associated with 2-4D exposure. I feel lucky.
Thank you so much for your sacrifice. My heart aches for you.
I’ve lost several friends to agent orange. And just found out today that I was exposed to it and didn’t know it. It’s more than likely the cause of my neuropathy.
