This group will try to bring together ANY veterans and/or family who have been affected by AGENT ORANGE. Its purpose is to try and bring MORE awareness of the problems caused by AO to the public, to list those veterans' problems for comparison with other vets, to organize a guestbook of such problems and to help those in need of filing claims.

We have now opened the Korean War Project Agent Orange Registry. It is open for access to all persons who may have been exposed to Agent Orange, all persons with questions about Agent Orange. We are creating a Google Earth presentation of physical locations of known exposure, probable exposure, and locations of camps and bases where exposure may have occurred. This is a group effort and feel free to post your own websites and information.
***Great Resource!***
Thanks to Ted and Hal Barker of The Korean War Project

USMVP was formed to assist military veterans who have Parkinson’s disease, especially veterans who were exposed to toxins such as Agent Orange while serving their country. Our organization is hard at work.
This Group is for all veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange and who have Parkinson's disease. Exposure may have been in Vietnam, Korea or elsewhere. If you were in Vietnam you are presumed to have been exposed. Join us in our fight to get Parkinson's disease recognized as presumptive to Agent Orange exposure by the VA.

The National Birth Defect Registry is a research project designed through a collaboration of seven prominent scientists. The registry collects information on all categories of structural and functional birth defects as well as the health, genetic and environmental exposure histories of the mothers and fathers of these children. Registry data have identified patterns of birth defects in the children of Vietnam and Gulf War Veterans. The registry has also helped detect clusters of birth defects in communities with toxic environmental exposures and in the children of mothers exposed to similar medications during pregnancy. Registry data have been presented to numerous government agencies and in many national and international media forums.

Mission: To recognize the courage, heroism, and contributions of American service personnel found to have been exposed to Agent Orange in a combat zone ... whose lethal exposure to Agent Orange resulted in internal, invisible wounds, which are revealed only by the passage of time.
An illness that all Veterans should be aware of !
ProjectShad.com is dedicated to providing a central point of collection for information related to the immoral Government testing of US Navy Soldiers in the 60's. Project SHAD / Project 112 has severely impacted the lives of not only the soldiers that were tested on, but the family members of those soldiers to include deaths of spouses, children and grandchildren. The government will never honor these soldiers, these test subjects that were wrongfully experimented on but we can by ensuring the facts of Project SHAD are documented and made public to the world. Only through knowledge and education of these past events can we try to ensure governments in any country don't try these evil types of things again.
ELK HUNT - Phase 1 "June through September 1964" Gerstle River Test Site
I was stationed at Fort Wainwright, Alaska (HHC 171st Inf Bde (M)) before going to Fort Greely to participate in the ELK HUNT Phase 1 & 2 Testing. ELK HUNT Phase 1 & 2 were conducted near Fort Greely, Alaska during 1964 & 1965. The testing was done in the Gerstle River area (near Fort Greely). I am bringing attention to the land based open-air testing of Project 112/SHAD.

"Remember this, if the Veterans, their families and communities do not take a stand on the current issues and voice their concerns then we have no reason to complain about our Government and what they are doing. This Government was formed of the people - by the people - for the people! Stand up and be heard!"
This brief is intended to summarize the important points of prostate cancer so that all men may have a better understanding of the problem and can ask their doctors effective questions. As a group, the retired military men are older and should pay attention to this health problem to collect on their well deserved retirement.
