The Loggerhead Which is Killing People Exposed to Agent Orange Herbicides on Guam

(WASHINGTON DC) - To all concerned, it is not hard to see from these reports from the Guam Cancer Registry that there is something bad going on on Guam.

Are we going to allow this terrible injustice to continue to be swept under the rug?

These results do not include veterans, they are for Guam residents only. Veterans have been left out of the study intentionally. It is not clear why. Stand up and be counted.

To all, Can you make some recommendations to Diane Zumatto to tackle this issue of uncooperative stance by the department of veterans affairs and the department of defense, as well as other federal agencies who could provide much needed help for Dr. Robert Haddock of Guam.

I recommend that the IOM AO Committee make reference to this loggerhead which is killing people exposed to agent orange herbicides on Guam. Many have died and didn't even know why or how. It's time to give real support to Dr. Haddock and if possible reinstate Dr. Luis Szyfres to work with Dr. Haddock to get'r done.

Can we really give him the assistance he desperately needs please. If all of the VETERANS ORGANIZATIONS WOULD HELP AND MAKE THIS AN ISSUE THIS MARCH 2013 IT WOULD HELP. WE HAVE VETERANS DYING OF CANCER BECAUSE OF THE AO I SPRAYED ON GUAM. THE CANCER RATES HAVE SOARED OUT OF SIGHT ON GUAM. DR. ROBERT HADDOCK NEEDS OUR HELP. PLEASE !

I was in the Navy stationed on Guam from Feb 80 thru April 82. After my wife, son and I returned to Florida, all three of us were diagnosed with TYPE 2 diabetes---no family history for either my wife or me. Since then my wife had breast cancer in 2010 and I was treated for prostate cancer in 2010. Currently suffer from pain from side effects of diabetes which remains uncontrolled with meds.

I sprayed AGENT ORANGE HERBICIDES AS WELL AS SILVEX on Guam for the U.S. Air Force for ten years during the Vietnam War and aferward. Most veterans have been denied direct AO EXPOSURE unjustly. There were exposed by what I did there. Many saw me spraying and yet THEY DENY MOST AND LET THEM DIE DISHONORED AND THEIR FAMILIES LIVE IN POVERTY OR WORSE. GOD HELP THEM ALL. I PRAY FOR YOUR HELP IMMEDIATELY FOR THEM PLEASE.
