Agent Orange?
Just curious if my bezel cell carcinoma or memory loss has anything to do with my time in Chu Lai (NSAD 1968-69). A buddy who shared a room back then says he's dying of some kind of cancer the VA says is related to his time in Chu Lai so I was just wondering when my number will be punched.

Now I'm being told the time we spent on board the USS Morton DD-948 (1966-67) off the coast didn't help either. And then there's the bad cough I couldn't shake for 6-8 months following my return from the Gulf after Desert Storm (PSU 303, Dammam, Saudi Arabia).

Ahhh well, I'll probably get hit by a bus and it won't make a big difference. When your number's up...
Please wait...
