NEW REPORT FOR ALL VIETNAM CARRIER SAILERS

Posted April 26, 2022

Attached is information that should allow all carrier sailors of the Vietnam War, who have been left behind by the boundaries drawn by the Blue Water Navy Act of 2019, to qualify for the presumption of exposure to herbicide in Vietnam. The only ships that did not enter the Territorial Seas of Vietnam were the Aircraft Carriers, as outlined in the Carrier Reports http://oldbluewater.com/BWNCarrierReports.htm .

However, the essential studies that allowed that exclusion to happen failed to take into consideration the primary way that contamination from Agent Orange molecules moved from the mainland of Vietnam to the ships at sea, which was direct exposure from materials that moved from Vietnam onto the aircraft carriers by delivery of goods by the COD (Carrier Onboard Delivery) planes that brought the contaminated materials out to the carriers on a regular basis, often daily.

This new (mid-April, 2022) Report by Agent Orange Expert Dr. Wayne Dwernychuk shows that the movement of supplies, people, mailbags, and equipment via COD plane delivery from the Da Nang Airbase contaminated every aircraft carrier that served in the Theater of Combat, even if they did not enter the Territorial Seas of Vietnam. Every Carrier was nonetheless repeatedly contaminated by the movement of those exposed materials. I contend that the submission of all the documents linked below, along with disability claims for Agent Orange exposure benefits, is compelling evidence for immediate approval of that claim.

Please review this information and get back with me if you have any questions.

Best to you,
