Charlie another Vietnam Veteran passes on

Norwood served as a Captain in the United States Army from 1967 - 1969, beginning with an assignment to the U.S. Army Dental Corps at Sandia Army Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In 1968 he was transferred to the Medical Battalion of the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vietnam, and served a combat tour at Quin Yon, An Khe, and LZ English at Bon Son. During his tour, he participated in experimental military dental practices that are now standard procedure for the armed forces. Norwood was one of the first participants in the Army's outreach program that delivered dentists to forward firebases in lieu of transferring patients to rear treatment areas. He provided some of the first field-based dental treatment of military guard dogs, and assisted in non-dental trauma care in Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals.

In recognition of his service under combat conditions, Norwood was awarded the Combat Medical Badge and two Bronze Stars. After Vietnam, Norwood was assigned to the Dental Corps at Fort Gordon, Georgia, where he served until his discharge in 1969. He remained a member of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the Military Order of the World Wars until his death.

Oh, my goodness

That would certainly be more exposure than I first thought

Thank you for sharing

quote:

This is the list of harm put forward by the Vietnam Vets. Except for the couple of things Dioxin (Agent Orange does) ... the rest of the list of what happened to the Vietam vet is the same for WWII vets and others: Actually I already excluded the item that Dioxin would cause ... and leave what 'the other chemical does" Soft tissue sarcomas ... all of them Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Hodgkin's disease Porphyria cutanea tarda Respiratory cancers (lung, larynx, trachea) Prostate cancer Multiple myeloma Hepatobiliary cancers Nasal/nasopharyngeal cancer Bone cancer Female reproductive cancers (breast, cervical, uterine, ovarian) Renal cancer Testicular cancer Leukemia Spontaneous abortion Birth defects Neonatal/infant death and stillbirths Low birthweight Childhood cancer in offspring Abnormal sperm parameters and infertility Zero Sperm Cognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders Memory Loss Motor/coordination dysfunction Peripheral nervous system disorders Skeptical? @ ALS Metabolic and digestive disorders (diabetes, changes in liver enzymes, lipid abnormalities, ulcers) Immune system disorders (immune modulation and autoimmunity) Circulatory disorders Respiratory disorders Skin cancer Gastrointestinal tumors (stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer) pancreatic Bladder cancer Brain tumors

I think when this chemical's harm (the other chemical in the mix) and you vets stand up together for all of you.... there won't be so many arbitrary disability approval denials. AND you will help your wives, and children, and pets and all vets of all eras

A worse version of this chemical had to be out there for wars prior to WWII, also ... as the harm to FDR and Eisenhower started from WWI battlefields

Someone on the Patriotfiles.com forum helped me to understand the high probability that EGBE was here, in Vientam war, too
