Welcome to the
BLUE WATER NAVY DIOXIN EXPOSURE
Web Site



Approximately 21 million gallons of Agent Orange were sprayed in Vietnam between 1962 and 1970.
Where do you suppose it all went?

More than a hundred thousand members of the United States Armed Forces
who fought in Vietnam between 1962 and 1975
suffer disabilities from the effects of dioxin, found in Agent Orange.
Yet, these service personnel are being denied service-connected health care
and disability compensation for these diseases
by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

This site provides information related to dioxin and other toxic exposures
by personnel of the Blue Water Navy, which includes Coast Guard and Fleet Marine personnel.
Please read the INTRODUCTION section to better understand the scope, depth, purpose and usefulness of documentation provided here.



If you think all Vietnam Veterans are receiving service-connected
VA Health Care for exposure to Agent Orange, you are wrong........

If you think all Vietnam Veterans are receiving compensation benefits
for disabilities caused by Agent Orange dioxin, you are sadly mistaken.....

Misc. Info.

Development and contents of this site has relied extensively on the work of Susan Belanger and Taura King. They have literally spent years gathering data on veteran exposure to herbicides and other toxins in Vietnam and MANY additional areas both in South East Asia (e.g., Thailand, Laos, Cambodia) as well as other places around the world. If it were not for their long hours and hard work, the plight of the AO veteran problems would not be as advanced as they are now or will become in the future. They have done this work without pay and have freely shared their information with any veteran who could benefit from it. Susan and Taura deserve our overwhelming gratitude for all their past and continuing efforts.

Creater and Webmaster of this site is John Paul Rossie
