CHARLES POWELL wrote on June 13, 2013 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN Comments: Hello my fellow veterans. I am writing this letter that it may help any of you that where stationed at Camp Carroll or anywhere in Korea for that matter. A year ago I found this website and made an entry detailing the health problems I was having. It was last June. At that time I was having health problems such as blisters on my feet and hands and sores that came up on my feet and legs. No doctor I visited could tell me what it was. The conditions would come and go. A month ago I was told by the VA doctors that I have colon rectal cancer after having a colonoscopy. During a CT scan I had yesterday at the VA hospital in Columbia, SC, they also noticed spots on my lungs. I am waiting to have a biopsy to see if the 3 spots are cancer. If so the doctor told me that it will be considered stage 4 cancer. This is the question I had for the surgeons; There is no history of cancer in my family, I have never smoke cigarettes. How can I have this cancer along with all the other health problems I've been experiencing for the last couple of years? Is the answer to my question to the VA the fact that I spent a year in Korea at Camp Carroll from June of 1981 until June of 1982 as a 63B with the 46th Transportation Company. We hauled supplies throughout the country. From Pusan to the JSA. It is a known fact that Camp Carroll is a depot for the military in Korea but it is also a proven fact that it is also a waste dump for the military in Korea and has been for over 50 years. Agent Orange was stored there years ago and was also buried there along with 100's of other chemical and toxins. When I ask the Lead surgeon that the answer from him was Their could be something to that and we will make a note in you medical file. I told him that I had been warned against bringing up the AO connection and that if I did the VA would lose my records and the next time I came for medical treatment, they wouldn't have any record of me being in Korea. He told me that's not the way they do things there. So now I wait for a biopsy to be done on my lungs and if the cancer I have is Stage 4 and if I will live to see my 3 year old grand daughter grow up. My advice to anyone of you that read this or anyone that knows someone that was stationed at Camp Carroll at anytime in the last 40 years to have yourself checked out if you can. Don't wait until that place comes back to haunt you 31 years later like it may have me. God bless all my veteran brothers and sisters.

In fact any current end date for any location would be invalid as Dioxins stay active for much longer than the time since the 1962 admitted RVN Agent Orange / Dioxin start date, current end date is the end date for RVN service, per the DVA. I was in an exposed unit, one of many and in many countries, not recognized by the DVA. That's why I created a petition to The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama. We the undersigned petition the US Senate, US Congress and the President of the United States to enact legislation that makes ALL veterans have equal presumption of exposure to Dioxins while in the service of the United States at any location or unit. We feel that ALL veterans MUST be treated equally with respect to Dioxin exposure by the US government and Department of Veterans Affairs. NOTE: Veterans must also still prove they have a recognized condition, that maybe caused by Dioxin exposure, during or after service to get DVA benefits. Any one 18 can sign.

JAMES SCHNEIDER wrote on November 27, 2012 City and State: CANTON OH Unit: CO C 707TH MAINT BN Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN Comments: I was a power guy at Camp Kaiser June of 70 until they packed up in Nov of 70. They moved most of us to Camp Casey where I was until May of 71. I went to my local VA office for the first time to have a preliminary exam. After the blood work etc. a nurse approached me and said the doctor would like to see me before I left. He gave forms for an AO exam at anther clinic. Hats off to my Doctor. I always thought it was a Vietnam thing. I have been battling multiple detached retinas both eyes, cataracts in my early 40's and skin cancer which I'm still dealing with... After reading some of the other Vets posts, I feel blessed. I hope the Gov will eventually do something for all of us who have medical problems as a result of Agent Orange exposure.

My company was the 226th Signal Company. We were always the first in and last out. we rolled most of the time operating out of ANGRC/26 and 46s. We were always in the trees or near the waters or in the Rocks. We were on the DMZ many times, I do not know about Agent Orange, but I will tell you all something, the Koreans did use a killer of some type to fill off the foliage, I could smell the Kerosene, and I grew up with this stuff and made several comments about it. I have had my prostate removed, been married a couple of times, been depressed, could not hold on to a job until I was 45 years old. I could have gotten something over there, but hell, we sprayed tree and weed killer in the late fiftys and sixtys here in America. Would it do any good to file a claim, I doubt it. God Almighty has been real good to me and I am proud to have served in the Army in Korea, and to be an American, and I believe the VA is doing everything they can in this busy world. Comrades have a very wonderful day.

RODNEY RING wrote on November 6, 2012 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN Comments: Look what all you guys need to understand is that AO was used in a lot more places than they admit to now. Just because you were in the DMZ or not doesnt mean you were not exposed. It took forty (40) years for them to even admit to a small area at certain times&. What about everyone after that time (68-71) dont you think they may have issues; this is way before bottled water. If you were in Korea you drank the water and showered in it. Is there anyone who knows anything about Agent Orange in the 70s??? Why are the standards different for Korea than Vietnam? Just tell the VA you once spend a minute in Vietnam and you are sick you just proved your Agent Orange case. Why is it so much harder for Korea??? I am looking for anyone who was stationed on a Hawk Site that may have issues now. If that site was ever sprayed it wont much matter when you were there.

Thank you - Phil Steward We were sent to Korea to help protect its people from attacks by Communist North Korea during the 1960's - We fought, worked hard and many died in this 2nd Forgotten War. During this time, the Army used highly toxic chemicals to defoliate many areas 'for our safety'. The truth, however, is that the Army poisoned us! Now, 40 years later the Veterans Administration is making us fight new battles in that same war. And the poisoning continues today while the VA continues to deny us care and compensation...
