Looking for members of this unit stationed in Seoul from 1953-1956. Anyone exhibiting Cancer or any Neurological symptoms as a result of handling bulk petroleum products.
We were not very cautious how we handled these products especially when repairing pipeline breaks and damage to our systems. Our exposure to carcinogens was very high.
Doing research for personal reasons and appeal with VA.
