OK....here we go again! We lost another good man this week. Johnny Spahr, in Washington State passed away due to cancer caused by Agent Orange. Yes I am angree, because we are the only Vets still laying down our life for a war we fought 40 years ago. If you have health issues that are related to Agent Orange, don't wait, and get on it NOW. |

is anybody keeping track of how many of us have come down with cancer? I had 13 chunks of it cut out in 01, it has not come back so I am one of the lucky ones so far. |

Count me in on the agent Orange cancer since 2003. Non Hodgekins Lymphoma. I believe we should try to get an accurate count if possible. |

Ya the big C hit me in 1999, Non-Hodgkins-Lymphoma. A year and a half of hell, but I'm still here,and plan on being around for a while longer, I am one of the lucky ones. In searching for guys with the Oringinal A Co. this is what I have found. 9 have died from cancer, 5 have cancer, 4 died from other health issues and at least 10 have Type 2 Diabeates. and that out of the 92 men We have found out of the oringinal 147. so I think it would be safe to say that you have a one in four chance of having a problem. Agent Orange, what's that??? |

Manchester's relatives contacted me to let me know that Jim has passed away. I recall him at the rock pier and at the hootch in some evenings. He was a good brother and I'm sure he will be missed. God, it seems like we are all getting old! Peace and Love. |

Sorry Jim! Glad you have not checked out. Somehow I must have gotten my wires crossed about your status. |
