I just got back from Kunsan one year ago. I never knew that stuff was used
there.

they sprayed ao and 2 other chemicals , all over Korea. The US supplied the chemicals and the Korean troops did the spraying.Trace chemicals if exposed can stay in your body 25 to 100 years and cause differant medical problems. Some of the other chemicals they sprayed are still classified mixtures,all courtasy of Fort Dietric maryland.

I was stationed at Kunsan June 1968 to July 1969 , We sprayed Agent Orange in the bomb dump to kill weeds so there were no snakes.
I have had a claim filed since 2003 I have been to a hearing in Winston Salem NC and have now have a rescheduled hearing meeting July 27 2015.
My claim has been denyed 5 times it is under appeal but they tell me I will have to prove agent orange was used at Kunsan.

Don't forget to enlist the help of a Veterans Service Officer, (VSO). DO NOT try to do this alone!!!
