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???
