In 1964, I was in Cambodia, were you there too?

I was in the US Air Force and on leave ( really a civilian) attached to Air America. Code name Frenchy. Obviously because I spoke French. At any rate, I spent 2 weeks on an operation with 9 other guys, no names just code names. I have medical issues due to exposure to AO. I need two witnesses to my being there. Please answer if you are able to help. This is a last ditch effort to re-open my case.

    You were in the military in 1964? That alone entitles you to medical treatment and a non service connected pension. What military records do you have? There are so many questions I have for you. Just e-mail. I have helped a few Veterans get the benefits they were due. My last case was a veteran fighting the VA for the last 15 years. He was seen by a Vet board out of Washington last week.

    Source(s): Number 1. Were you at anytime in Viet Nam or Korea during your course of military service? Number 2. Are you wanting Compensation, pension, medical or a combination? Number 3. What are your medical conditions that you feel are related to your exposure to Agent Orange, Agent Yellow, Agent White or Agent Blue? Number 4. If you were in the military when you were approached by the CIA, what does your discharge say? The reason I ask this is because you had to serve so many years in the service, and if there are missing dates this might help your case. I will help you the best I can. My step father had a similiar senario. I found pictures of him in Viet Nam wearing civilian clothes with side arms. He would not speak about it until the later years in his life. He was in a special Military Police unit. I helped him acheive 100% service connected compensation for his medical conditions that eventually claimed his life. He was able to draw around 1 year. I have certain people that I am in contact with, Viet Nam era guys, I will see what I can find out. There is one thing I want you to do. See if you can request records pertaining to US ops in Cambodia. You may retain these through the Freedom of Information Act. Keep in contact and I will try to find the best way to go about this. http://www.usdoj.gov/oip/
