My father was an air traffic controller in Vung Tau from like 69-71.
Battled for six years with VA from like 2010-2016 for benefits. In 2016, received backpay from 2010 onward.
He has multiple issues directly correlated from agent orange, including breast cancer and lymphedema. VA hospital in pcola does good enough job with limited red tape.
The price he paid for volunteering for our military, plus my mom’s employment via Worldcom/MCI/Verizon has shaped me greatly in not trusting the govt nor corporate America.

My Dad was an MP in Vung Tau from 67-69. Was there during the TET offensive. He claims this was the best time of his life. All he did was fight drunk Marines and get blow jobs. Ironically enough he came back home got a job at Monsanto in Luling. He worked there for 20 years. He is still alive and kicking and doing well at 77 years old.

My uncle has had multiple myeloma for 8 or 9 years. He did a tour in the Air Force as a flight line pogue at on of the bases that AO missions were flown out of. Surprisingly, his dealings with the VA have been pretty smooth . But, there's been AO legislation passed since this settlement.
