I finished chemotherapy on that bout and now 6 months later the doctors say that the lymphoma has reoccurred. All thanks to Agent Orange and its insidious effect on we who served in Vietnam and came in contact with the deadly stuff. Our country used this chemical without first knowing what it would do to human beaning's. As I now understand, Agent Orange has cost the United States more money than any other afflictions beset upon the American Solider. Forty plus years post Vietnam and we still have America's finest falling to the effects of that war.

I think that is a shameful 'oversight' very probably intentional. I believe that the down-playing of the impact of herbicide use in Vietnam, on the land, the people and our own troops is a blatant attempt to re-write History to cover our 'mistakes'. The Australian veterans have raised hell about this fact to the point of getting an acknowledgment (and possibly an apologyP) from their government. The impact of dioxin and other toxins during the Vietnam War had global effects and it continues to be an active player in many veteran disabilities, now down into the third generation. I would like to hear an apology for this missing piece from the Commemoration Panel!John Paul Rossiehttp://bluewaternavy.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680984228843410546.post-55386617580697363672014-08-22T15:54:00.417-04:002014-08-22T15:54:00.417-04:00Hello Mr. Wilson,

I'm proud to have had even a small part in sharing these important stories here on the blog. <br /><br />Well done, Jack.CJ Heckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867024641088772150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680984228843410546.post-84500970507031834052014-08-19T20:11:28.502-04:002014-08-19T20:11:28.502-04:00I blogged for about a year about my service in Vie...I blogged for about a year about my service in Vietnam including some observations on the reporting and misreporting of that war. Those blog posts are still available on my website/weblog. I also compiled the posts into a memoir that is available for free on Smashwords.com. It felt good to get it all down for future generations to read. Thousands have read it on the weblog and more than a thousand have downloaded the compilation. We need to share our stories so that our progeny will be left with more than just the ideological rants of the media and the antiwar activists who bedeviled us when we returned. The commemoration seal described in this post is a small token but an important one of the healing that has yet to occur. Embrace it...Jack Durishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06577583997517810469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680984228843410546.post-64155684502664827132014-08-19T15:17:24.020-04:002014-08-19T15:17:24.020-04:00To Anonymous - Many of us have prepared the way fo...To Anonymous - Many of us have prepared the way for the heroes and heroines who have and are returning from stents in the War against terrorism. We will not allow these troops to receive the same type of reception we received when we returned. Here in Georgia, a number of us received invitations to attend the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War. For me and my close friends that attended, it was a very special day. Governor Nathan Deal welcomed us home. To everyone of us, it was a sentiment we all relished.
