I seem to be having a difficult time remembering my Marine platoon unit in nam I was in Quang Tri,RVN in 19681969-does anyone out there know any way I can help myself: I’d like to get in touch with my buddies. I’m also getting treated for PTSD. It’s difficult to erase the things we went throughwhat we saw, many, many of us were fresh out of high school. I also developed jungle rot feetsuffered with it for many years what a sting: I continue to have cracksfungus on my feetalso lost some of my hearing. Thinkging about buddies lost to the nam war as well as those that came back to the USA, so if anyone has any info. to provide to me as to how to locate my unit I’ll be for evergreatful. SEMPRE FI

I am sorry for your cousin. I am a Vietnam Veteran with 1 Ischemich heart Attack and 4-5 Ischemic Strokes. Currently, the VA is not admiting any claims to causes of these, and many more problems I have had. I know you won’t forget your cousin, and you should’nt. He is still alive, as long as you remember him. The next Vietnam Veteran that you see, thank him for his time in service, it will help you heal a wound, and make your cousin proud. GOD BLESS. WELCOME HOME!

I am very sorry to hear about your cousin. I am a Vietnam Veteran also. I suffered 4-5, Ischemic Strokes and 1 Ischemic Heart Attack. Your story about your cousin reminds me of my youth. I used to see a WWII or Korea War guy downtown marching around. We, Vietnam Veterans are all dying, some sooner than others of horrible cancers. I have had 1 Ischemic Heart attack and 4-5 Ischemic Strokes. The next time a politican talks about sending Americans around the world to war, think about your cousin. I have now been rejected for about 4 claims from the VA. Although, they know all the causes of deaths, they are ignoring them. Congress has a law HR 2254, with the senate SS 1939, and they are taking there time passing them for Blue Water Navy. They send you to war, but won’t take care of your PTSD, which your cousin had, nor any other problems. GOD BLESS YOU. WELCOME HOME! NOW HILLARY CLINTON HAS SET ASIDE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR VIETNAM, BUT NOT ONE PENNY FOR VIETNAM VETERANS.

I served with the 94th Medical Detachment, 119th Asault Helicoper Company, in Pleiku, South Vietnam.

The V.A. is treating me for PTSD right now – I get to visit the War several times each week.

God Bless our Military and Military Veterans!

Can anyone provide citations for these statistics? I am particularly interested in the numbers of phony in-country service claims. I have sought this information on the internet but cannot find an actual, citable source, although the Census Bureau appears to be it.
