Do you know any of these guys? This was on the balcony of the old French control tower at #Danang, #Vietnam, ca 1969. I'm the good looking guy holding the camera. The #VA is adamant I get tested for #AgentOrange exposure. I don't need no steenkin' tests, I know I was exposed. I'd like to know if any of the guys in the pic have had cancer or other AO related effects. I keep telling the #VA, at my age, I'm gonna die sooner than later but now, I'm curious. Thanks.
In face of heavy military and political failures in both zones North & South Viet Nam, and the ever-stronger protest movement against the U.S. #WarOfAggression in Viet Nam by the peoples the world over, #UnitedStates included, #LBJohnson had to declare the limited bombings in North Viet Nam on March 31, 1968.
The University of [#CanTho bombed by #USplanes. #Saigon and its periphery bombed and strafed by U.S. planes. #ChoLon bombed by U.S. planes #Hue bombed by U.S. planes #ApBa hamlet #DaNang province bombed by U.S. planes. #Civilians in Saigon #killed by #USbombs and shells.
Civilians in Cho Lon killed by U.S. bombs and shells.
Toxic gas has also been used in their raids.]
*ChoLon is where my patriarch family lived before we were displaced by bombings & where my Grandpa owned large incense factory.
