  • Vietnam Era Seaplane Veterans
    Request for Information from Vietnam Era Seaplane Veterans Operation Market Time was the U.S. Navy's effort to stop troops and supplies from flowing by sea from North Vietnam to South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. From 1964 to 1967, the Navy’s four remaining seaplane squadrons, VP-40, VP-47, VP-48, and VP-50, provided continuous operational support flying around the clock missions over the South China Sea and from seaplane tenders based at Cam Ranh Bay, Da Nang, and Con Son Islands, Republic of South Vietnam. Now, nearly fifty years later many of the squadron’s flight crews and support personnel assigned to these missions are being denied VA disability claims for Vietnam service. There is an increasing number of Vietnam era seaplane veterans with serious medical conditions filing claims with the VA for disability related to exposure to Agent Orange. Each of the three seaplane tenders that operated in Vietnam, USS Pine Island, USS Salisbury Sound, and USS Currituck, are on the VA approved presumptive list for exposure to Agent Orange. Unlike the ships, however, the VA is requiring seaplane squadron personnel assigned to work with the tenders to provide physical proof of boots on the ground in Vietnam or assignment to operate with or aboard the seaplane tenders when submitting a claim for disability benefits associated with exposure to Agent Orange. To further compound the problem, what the VA constitutes as acceptable proof of boots on the ground differs randomly from state-to-state and claim to claim. The VA adamantly denies this, but there is more than adequate proof to defend the allegation.
