I lost my dad June 20,1995 he was 51 years old. He served over in Vietnam for 2 yrs during 1966-1968. I was born shortly after he came home from serving over in Vietnam. My dad been gone 17 years, There hasn't been a day since he has past away that I dont think about him, miss him terribly. Some days I am so bitter towards Uncle Sam for drafting our fathers over in Vietnam...only to loose them 30 plus years later. I feel the government has robbed me , my children years that we could of been having with my dad yet, had he not served over in Vietnam. I know in my heart this is wrong to feel this bitter. But I was only 24 years old when I lost my dad. I have always asked my Doctors since being born shortly after my dad coming back to the States from Vietnam, he had Agent Orange if there would be Health issues from the chemicals passed on to me. I was always told no. Until this past June 2012... I had gone to my family Dr. to see about getting help losing the weight I had gained from having female issues 8 years ago that wounded in me having to have an emergency hysterectomy.My Dr was asking me some questions about family history, About Cancer. I had mention how I had lost my dad to Cancer from Agent Orange. He then asked what years my father was over in Vietnam, the year I was born, I told him. My Dr. had said because of my father serving over in Vietnam, I was born not long after him coming home, That I could very well develope health issues related to Agent Orange. This makes me wonder about all the years I have had female issues...Is this stemmed back to Agent Orange??? As a child of a Male Vietnam Veteran, I have questions, I am now scared after being told that I have an 85% chance of developing cancer, &amp; other health issues...But As I lose the weight my percentage the Dr. said will go down. As a young mother in my early 40's , with 3 children under the ages of 15, This scared me! I know what it feels like to have lost a parent at an young age, I am thinking of my own children. What would happen to them, If something bad happen to me? I know they would have their father, But still it something to think about. http://www.agentorangespeaker.com/blog/2012/03/10/Fourteen-Years-of-Remembering.aspx Deb Leonard 9/10/2012 8:50:00 PM rimonabantexcellence site title Hello <a href="http://www.agentorangespeaker.com/blog/2012/03/10/Fourteen-Years-of-Remembering.aspx" rel="nofollow" class="userlink">http://www.agentorangespeaker.com/blog/2012/03/10/Fourteen-Years-of-Remembering.aspx</a> http://www.agentorangespeaker.com/blog/2012/03/10/Fourteen-Years-of-Remembering.aspx www.rimonabantexcellence.com 6/5/2013 9:20:00 PM rimonabantexcellence site title Hello <a href="http://www.agentorangespeaker.com/blog/2012/03/10/Fourteen-Years-of-Remembering.aspx?pingback=1" rel="nofollow" class="userlink">http://www.agentorangespeaker.com/blog/2012/03/10/Fourteen-Years-of-Remembering.aspx?pingback=1</a> http://www.agentorangespeaker.com/blog/2012/03/10/Fourteen-Years-of-Remembering.aspx www.rimonabantexcellence.com 6/5/2013 9:20:00 PM
