Comments: Agent Orange in Korea
South Korea confirmed it has agreed with the US
Military to jointly investigate claims made by a few
Veterans that they helped bury the toxic chemical Agent
Orange (AO) at a US army base in South Korea about
three decades ago.
The issue could possible rekindle anti-American
sentiment in the country, which saw massive protests
against the import of US beef in 2008 and over the
deaths of two South Korean girls in an incident
allegedly involving U.S. soldiers in 2002, not to
mention the riots in Korea in the mid to late
seventies.
The United States has nearly 30,000 troops stationed in
South Korea, and the two countries are currently
grappling with how to deal with North Korea's nuclear
program.
"South Korea and the United States agreed to proceed
with a joint probe (into the case) as soon as possible
for the quick and transparent resolution of the issue,"
Prime Minister Kim Hwang-sik's Office said in a
statement on Sunday.
The controversy erupted last week, when South Korea
reported that US veterans told US television station
KPHO TV in Arizona that they were ordered to dump the
herbicide at Camp Carroll, in the southeastern part of
South Korea, in the late 1970s.
(This information went global after Korean Journalists
read the article posted on Facebook from Vets Helping
Vets (eee.MYVETERAN.org)
The station said the "toxic herbicide that was used to
wipe out the jungles during the Vietnamese War," was
used years later around demilitarized zones in Korea,
which was divided after the 1950-1953 Korean War.
The South Korean government said it had formed a task
force on Friday to address the issue and had been
investigating the area around Camp Carroll, located in
North Gyeongsang Province.
The United States Forces Korea said in a statement on
Friday that "an on-going review of records has not
revealed evidence of the movement or storage of Agent
Orange at Camp Carroll, and we are expanding our search
to more thoroughly investigate the claims."
Gen Walter Sharp, Commander of United Nations Command,
stated: "I am aware of and concerned with news reports
alleging burial of Agent Orange at Camp Carroll.
"Both Americans and Koreans live and work in and around
Camp Carroll, and I share the concerns of the
government of the Republic of Korea and the Korean
people living near the installation."

Comments: My friend Mario suggested that I place my VFW Magazine letter on this forum for those who do not receive this magazine--great idea (duh on my part); I guess I assumed that we all received it; by-the-way, if you don't, I recommend it to everyone; we are all eligible for VFW membership and even if for no other reason than this monthly magazine, it is well worth it--it's a very professional and informative publication for us; anyway here is my letter:
Regarding the "Issues Up Front" article in May's VFW, I finally found my unit named in association with Agent Orange in Korea. I was a medical platoon NCO with 1st Battalion, Fifteenth Artillery, from late 1972 to late 1973--beginning 15 months after the VA's August 1971 end date for Agent Orange presumption. I am curious as to why these eligibility dates--April 1968 to August 1971--were established. Is this the specific time period when Agent Orange was sprayed at the DMZ? Even if this is the case, I understand that Agent Orange's dioxin chemical remains in soil and water for many years. I know that during my Korea tour I saw a lot of the DMZ and it was largely bare of vegetation--and I put in a lot of work digging up the DMZ area grounds as part of our field fortifications. I have no medical problems that I'm aware of at 57 years old, but what of the future? I have always been curious with this issue--I wish some authority would explain it.

that can go to when the last combat troop left the Z in
the 90's.Ground will be contaminated for years and then
there's water tables and humans. We're not dumb we all
know it's about $$$. Theres still material about the DMZ
that had not been declassified yet. For some of us it's

I have a claim of PPSD in and i need comformation of the facts; thank you for your time taking time to help a fellow veteran.
t Incidences that i am trying to confirm via military archive By DOD.
This accident actually happened the night of oct 10, 1970 - 21: 30 hrs. Low cloud rain squawl ,fog;
The oegan of flight was dayton HO. To migire. Plane Crash happened 21:30 hrs. Plane crashed 5,000 ft from runway ý (improper IFR operation.)
I , David Ricardo fitzhugh was on guard duty in charlie company arms room with PVT Robert Glenn when we heard the plane engines comming in south west of us and than the explosions started; We though what the hell as the typewriter jumped off the edge of the desk; first instinct was the hit the deck! With light fixtures shaking and contined explosions we ran to the arms room door. We seen five mushroon fire balls. We called the down flight in to officer on duty..I litterally ran into he office and he came out to see and called it incident in.
The next day i found what looked ý partial peice of finger. I thought that there was a woman on board as o now researched history of reported incidences of avation accidents in fort dix. 3 men
From what i saw when charlie c/3/2 5 BCT CO. Walked pass the sight early the next moring down texas ave and To range road as my fading memory can recoglect ; the plane was blown th hell that it was a wonder that none housed in Brovo company was a victim on the ground.
Brovo co. Brick blds. Is only aprox. Less or more than 1,000 yrds. From our C 3/2. Co.
Time and clear recoglection alude me post 40 yrs. Out of active service.
One thing for certain: records don't lie! This but one of three incidence that i personally witnessed. I am still researching the 2 other incidences via computer to date.
October 11, 1970ý: L-100 c/n 4221, delivered July 1967 as Lockheed Aircraft Service Company N9248R; leased to Alaska Airlines, November 1968 ý November 1969, then modified to L-100-20. Sold to Saturn Airways, October 1970. Crashed at Fort Dix in bad weather on approach to McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey. All three crew were employees of Airlift International, Miami, Florida. KWF were Capt. H. Miller, co-pilot L. Hoffman, and engineer J. Marin.[8] he stories that i am seeking to confirm.
This incident happened OCT. 18, 1970 ý Yrds. From my mother ý Mildred A Fitzhugh and my than wife Shirley lynn Fitzhugh.... The soldier jumped the fence and was shot in back; Bleeding form shortgun wounds he swam into the middle of goose pond where MP's surrounded this area and retreived the wounded man from the pond and threw him into the jeep head first and wisked him away into the stockade! Made one think" - I weren't even out of basic training yet! One week later a uprising in that same stockade ý My company was on stanby orderes to fall in and march on the stockade.. All of this is covered up and swep under the table!
I am considering hiring a privet police investigator to research and confirm these alledged incidences. It appears to me it is the only was that will solidly prove my claim! Going to the archives.
ýRWatson322@aol.com
looking for old archive information ; can you please help.I David Ricardo Fitzhugh 08440 am requesting verification of archived incident: I was inýBoot camp C/3/2ý 5th bcst training Sept 1970.

I have search for the story throughout the fort dix web page with no result!

A buddy wrote me a letter stating that he was there too and that he also sprayed with his unit AO. He died about 6 months later of cancer. I also have been diagnosed and undergone surgery of prostate cancer. Need some help with pictures or letters of buddies stating about the spraying of AO in the DMZ zone and also in the surroundings of the Camp.

Comments: I was stationed in Kunson Korea Feb. 1968. I was with the 336 TFS that left Semour Johnson AFB in 24hrs. to fly to Kunson during the Pueblo incident. On a fam. tour of the flightline and hangers, we were told to look up at the roof beams in one of the hangers. We were told the safety wire we saw hanging from those beams were from the hanging of the maintanence men after the pilots took off and refused to fly ground support.I can't remember if our tour was by an ROK officer or one of ours. But it was from someone that was stationed there not TDY like us. I never had reason to doubt the story. Could never think of why else all that wire would have been hanging down like it was. Nor why we were being told that story if it weren't true. What was there to be gained?

God Bless you all who served, sometimes suffered and risked your lives to keep our Country and South Korea free.
It's been 39 years since I left, and yet it is a daily memory of good and bad times and great people I knew and cherished their friendship.
