I've heard that it was used in Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico, which is close to Las Marias.
ReplyDeleteyou left out Naval Magazine Guam, it has since closed and is on a superfund for clean up
ReplyDeleteLeft out Johnston Island wherwe the AO was moved to in Apr 1972 from Vietnam, Guam and other locations.
ReplyDeleteHow about listing South Vietnam, all of it!
ReplyDeleteWhy will no one demand that the VA bring back the muscle biopsy to determine if a vet was exposed to dioxin? The muscle biopsy will determine if indeed the toxin is still lurking. Why is there NO research on this in the VA?
ReplyDeleteDid Tennessee Valley Authority use Agent Orange to clear their right of ways? I used to work for TVA and rumor was that they used it at the time that it was used in Vietnam. My son died of ALS and he worked clearing brush on the right of ways one summer.
ReplyDeleteAdd Okinawa to this list.
ReplyDeleteI am a Viet-Nam veteran. It was also sprayed at Barrio Calabazas San Sebastian,PR. Also at the Guajataka Reservation, San Sebastian,PR where the Boy`s Scouts Camp is located. Two or three years later, 1964-65 San Sebastian had the highest percentage of cancer cases in Puerto Rico. Higher tha Vieques and Culebra.As a matter of fact this two small islands are not mentioned in the list and puertorricans know IT WAS sprayed there. And the Rio Grande, PR place they mention they SHOULD say it was at EL YUNQUE!!!!!!!Why do you think that the native parrots disappeared all of a sudden from the BIGGEST tropical Rain Forest in the islands????That means they are still "covering up" the TRUTH!!!!LET IT BE KNOWN TO THE CONGRESSMEN AND THE PUBLIC.
ReplyDeleteI will be watchful!If I need your approval to post a commentary of the use of Agent Orange all over the island of Puerto Rico at the very beginning 1960-1963 then you are not a trusted place to post ANYTHING!
