I am concerned in regards to my offspring and the issue(s). especially the radiological exposure. Also could souvenirs I.E Uniforms etc, still hold/discharge poisons?

I have had tumors in saliva glands, throat cancer and numbness in my feet. I have never smoked and my Oncologist ask me if I was in Vietnam or exposed to agent orange.

served in ft mc clelan in 1987. had my 1st pacemaker in 2001, second in 2009. abnormal polyps removed in 2008. was told im loosing intestinal lining. In my first va claim I was denied and told va didnt have to recognize any of my conditions because it has not passed legislation to do so. My case is in appeal now. So when I break my leg I ask you all for a yes vote on a cast.

I was at Ft McClellan for basic training in 1984 and remember the gas chamber and chemical drills. I have had many weird health problems over the years I am upset for two reasons. 1) We shouldn’t have been exposed. 2) We should have been notified so we could get proper care. I have degenerative disc disease and had spinal fusion, and I have been diagnosed with possible M.S., possible Lyme disease, CFS, depression, ADD, IBS, sleep apnea, kidney cysts, etc.

I was stationed at Fort McClellan, AL in 1990-91 for Basic Training and AIT-MP Academy (D787th and A787th, resp.). I served whole heartedly, believing that the US Military cared about its Service Men/Women. I was a well decorated soldier, even receiving the Army Achievement Medal. I have suffered unexplainable health issues since…even being diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). I haven’t been well for years and getting progressively worse. Something has to be done to help all those who served at this knowingly TOXIC base. Another Veteran’s day upon us…who in power is going to truly help us who served loyally?

I was at FT. McClellan from May 5,1968 until July 23, 1968 for basic training and have diabetes type II and was just diagnosed with lymphoma today. I remember crawling through the underbrush during both the day and night marches. Smoke everywhere…gave me nightmares, but nothing compared to this.
