I WAS STATIONED AT CORPUS CHRISTI NAVAL AIR STATION FROM JUNE 1970 TO SEPTEMBER 1972 SQUADRON VT 28. TRANSFERRED 9-1971 TO AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS CONSTELLATION CVA64 UNTIL I WAS HONORABLY DISCHARGED IN JANURARY 1974. WEST PAK TOUR 1973 IN THE GULF OF TONKA, VIETNAM. I'M RETIRED NOW, ORIGINALLY FROM DETROIT, MICHIGAN, AND I HAVE LIVED IN VIRGINIA SINCE 1976 WHERE I MET MY WIFE, MARRIED IN 1989 AND JUST CELEBRATED 37 YEARS OF A WONDERFUL MARRIAGE. I NOW LIVE ON VIRGINIA'S NORTHERN NECK IN HEATHSVILLE, VIRGINIA WIFE MY WIFE AND 2 DOG CHILDREN GERMAN SHEPARDS. I HAVE LYMPHOMA CHRONIC SMALL LUKEMIA AND PROSTATE CANCER STAGE 3 NOW, AND 2 HEART DESEASE PROBLEMS ALL FROM AGENT ORANGE EXPOSURE. I TAKE 44 PILLS A DAY TO LIVE, AND I HAVE A LIST OF MY OTHER HEALTH PROBLEMS THAT'S TO LONG TO LIST HERE. I CALL MYSELF THE 'COMPLICATED GUY', BUT ALWAYS SAY THAT I'M A 'HAPPY GUY' TO STILL BE ALIVE. I STARTED GETTING 100 PERCENT DISABILITY IN 2021. MY UROLOGIST THAT DID MY PROSTATE SURGERY IN 2011 WANTED TO HELP ME GET 100 PERCENT AS HE SAID THAT THE TYPE OF PROSTATE CANCER I HAD WAS FROM AGENTT ORANGE EXPOSURE. MAN, I WAS STUPID AND DIDN'T APPLY UNTIL ANOTHER VIETNAM VETARAN AND FRIEND RODE ME TO APPLY IN NOVEMBER 2021, AND RECIEVED MY FIRST DISABILTY CHECK IN JANURARY 2023 WITH BACK PAY TO NOVEMBER 2021. UNFORTUNATELY, MY FRIEND PASSED AWAY IN NOVEMBER 2024. I HAD EASY TIME IN VIETNAM COMPARED TO BOOTS ON GROUND OR THE RIVER BOAT MEN OR THE AIRFORCE PEOPLE ON GROUND. I LOST A FEW BFF'S IN THE VIETNAM WAR, AND MANY THAT HAVE DIED FROM AGENT ORANGE EXPOSURE SINCE WE CAME HOME TO PROTESTERS THAT HATED US VIETNAM MILITARY PEOPLE! I'M VERY THANKFUL THAT AMERICA WELCOMED HOME OUR MILITARY PEOPLE IN THE AFGANISTAN AND IRAQ WARS. I'M A VERY PROUD VIETNAM VETERAN THAT SERVED WITH HONOR! HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD SERVE AGAIN IN THE NAVY AGAIN IF YOU WERE NEEDED? WELCOME HOME TO ALL OF MY BROTHER AND SISTER VIETNAM VAETERANS! MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS, AND IN ALL WAYS!
