My name is Tim Leathers and I was stationed at Camp Page 1972-1973. I
remember being on the duty roster a few times for spraying the perimeter of
the camp with some type of defoliant that killed weeds and grass. I was a
member of 1/42 Honest John unit as a wireman/lineman. I now have several
conditions directly linked to exposure of AO including, diffuse large b cell
lymphoma, hypertension, neuropathy, stroke, and ischemic heart disease. If
anyone out there remembers the spraying at around the same time, please get
in touch with me. I am putting together a claim for disability benefits and
need a statement from a veteran with the same memories. You can reach me at
RitaLeathers1000@gmail.com
Thanks for any help.

I was stationed in Korea between Jan 1972 and feb 1973 At Camp Page Korea 1/42(honest John)FA of the 4th Missile Command. The Mountians around camp Page were barren and orangish brown. I sprayed defoilant during a detail on Camp page within a trench that cut through the base. I believe it was purple.
I have just been diagnosed with CLL(chronic lympocetic leukemia)
Anyone with any info please respond
