I served aboard Vance 03/65-03/66. I was aboard, and remember the night we entered Qui Nhon on 01/20/1966. I have had kidney cancer, prostate cancer, and coronary artey disease, which I believe is connected to Agent Orange exposure. My claim is in process, and if any of my ship mates could support my claim with a letter, stating I was a crew member of Vance on that date, and entered inland SVN waters on that date, I would greatly appreciate it. My Special Sea And Anchor Detail station was anchor windlass brke operator, on the focsle, whenever we the detail was set, as it was that night. The personnell on the foc'sle the most exposed personell on board during that detail. Thank you for your help, and as your former Association Chaplain, may God continue to blesss you all. Saturday, July 12th, 2014 Beth and I made our reservations today for the 2014 Vance Association Reunion in Jacksonville, FL. Very much looking forward to seeing many dear friends renewing oild acquaintances. Hope to see y'all there! |
