  • Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents

    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents

    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents Background This ships list is intended to provide VA regional offices with a resource for determining whether a particular US Navy or Coast Guard Veteran of the Vietnam era is eligible for the presumption of Agent Orange herbicide exposure based on operations of the Veteran’s ship. According to 38 CFR § 3.307(a)(6)(iii), eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure requires that a Veteran’s military service involved “duty or visitation in the Republic of Vietnam” between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975. This includes service within the country of Vietnam itself or aboard a ship that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam. However, this does not include service aboard a large ocean- going ship that operated only on the offshore waters of Vietnam, unless evidence shows that a Veteran went ashore. Inland waterways include rivers, canals, estuaries, and deltas. They do not include open deep-water bays and harbors such as those at Da Nang Harbor, Qui Nhon Bay Harbor, Nha Trang Harbor, Cam Ranh Bay Harbor, Vung Tau Harbor, or Ganh Rai Bay. These are considered to be part of the offshore waters of Vietnam because of their deep-water anchorage capabilities and open access to the South China Sea. In order to promote consistent application of the term “inland waterways”, VA has determined that Ganh Rai Bay and Qui Nhon Bay Harbor are no longer considered to be inland waterways, but rather are considered open water bays.

Foreword In narrating the naval history of a war, one approach open to a historian is to record the general story of naval operations, then complement the main history with works dealing with specialized fields. The Naval History Division plans to follow this approach in the case of the Vietnam War, focusing the Division's efforts primarily on an account of naval operations but accompanying the major history with publications in limited fields deserving of treatment beyond that to be given in the main work.

    Baldwin County Veterans Book Will Be a Continuing Project in Volumes and Set Alphabetically

    A Note From The Author Thanks to our Baldwin County Alabama Veterans for being a part, of this county’s history. For their time in the military services passed and living. I would like to thank all of the many families of this county that have contributed, their love ones stories, and personal combat story for this book. This first introduction of the Baldwin County Veterans book will be a continuing project in volumes and set alphabetically. Due to many veteran pictures missing in this first volume I will be still collecting war stories, and pictures in or out of uniform every three months to replace or enhance the current information that is available. I will expect war time weddings and how this ties back to Baldwin County. Please name WW I, WW II, Army, Navy, Air Force Vietnam, Korean War, Desert Storm, Sea Battle, Ground Combat, Names of Battleships & names of War Planes and Remember to all service families. The Bay Minette Archive building will receive your veteran picture(s) and information. The old picture of the World War I Alabama Rainbow Division tents that camp over night before marching to Montgomery, Alabama belong to my grandfather, and remains in the Matthews family. The contents of this publication will be used for reference to our Baldwin County Veterans Vol. 1 @2003- @2017 and all contents are held by the owner under strict compliance with no copies unless purchased from the owner.
