Due to the extreme cold, I now have problems with my feet (pyrodermia of the skin)in addition to nerve damage. Anyone out there with similar problems? Does anyone remember helicopters or airplanes spraying chemicals are the DMZ around this time? I am not sure if it was Agent Orange, DDT for mosquitoes, or an unknown chemical that was used. I do remember the spraying and was wondering if anyone has has the same memories. I have read conflicting reports of this activity. It is widely reported that Agent Orange was sprayed in Korea but much later than the 1953 or 1954 time period I am mentioning.

Some one in the 1st Marine Division - either 5th Battalion 7th Regiment or 1st Battalion 7th Regiment recounted this to John Charles Cheek: "He told me that story one sunny day in the summer of 1953. We sat in the trench outside my bunker, smoked and shot the bull for 15 or 20 minutes. I think he was there to buy a bottle of whiskey from me."
