Trying to file agent orange claim with VA based on related cancer and need any crew member from C141 tail 181 that landed in Saigon on Oct 22 1973. My self and the engineer went to Saigon and bought 33 plaster elephants for people in the 15 Mas at Norton. Rich Kucharik was the AC but as it has been 40 years he cannot remeber any details. The Copilot was W Bingham as my personal record shows but VA says not good enough to have AForm with M1A time and personal log showing Saigon as personal log unofficial. Any help will be appreciated from any other crew member that sees this or anyone in 15th Mas who got a pair of elephants from what we brought back
