The VA had, and probably still does have, an Agent Orange program. After contacting them and setting up an appointment, they'll hand you a black and white photo copy of SOUTH Vietnam and ask YOU to show them where YOU were at and what unit YOU were with...as well as the dates YOU were there. Things will progress from that point.


Did the B-52 Bombers ever transport agent orange during the Vietnam war?

Yes, B-52 bombers were used during the Vietnam War to spray herbicides, including Agent Orange, as part of Operation Ranch Hand. This operation aimed to defoliate jungles and destroy crops to deny cover and food to enemy forces. While the primary delivery method for Agent Orange was through C-123 aircraft, B-52s contributed to the broader aerial defoliation efforts. The use of Agent Orange had severe environmental and health consequences, which are still felt today.

Does anyone remember using any agent orange try to put a claim in?

I was in Vietnam in 1970-1971. Not only did we spray AO from helicopters, we were detailed to use it for weed control around our company area. I filed for disability in 2009 to the VA 38 years after returning from Vietnam for diabetes caused by the dioxin contained in agent orange known by the name TDDC. Once it gets in you blood stream, it never comes out and can effect you years later. I filed my claim, underwent a physical exam by a VA doctor and received 20% disability compensation in a period of 10 months retro active back to the date I first fired my claim.
