The officers of our association have done it again. Gentlemen and Lady (Shirley Clark, Historian and all the Bristol ladies) thank you for a wonderful time. Jeri Glass, our great reunion coordinator from BRAT did a spectacular job, which Jeri makes to look easy. The welcome dinner buffet was superb on Thursday night. Many of the attendees took advantage of the optional tours of Philadelphia and the USS New Jersey BB 62. On Saturday morning, we convened the business meeting, re- electing the current officers with one change: Paul Ratcliffe has accepted the vice president position. Thank you Paul. Did you know that Paul had the uncanny foresight to film some of the daily activities while serving in Bristol. Then, Paul produced a great VHS tape transferring all of those 8mm videos to VHS and adding Vicotry At Sea music. Now we have to convince Paul to transfer the VHS to DVD so that I can use images in our newsletter. Duane Haugan again fulfilled the arduous task of photographer extraordinaire. Doing that is along with photo Placque commemorating the POWs of Revolutionary War documenting all of the other activities. Bob Burns video who suffered and died in British jails. God bless these documented as well. Tony Molnar along with being our treasurer, also, arranged the table reservations for those of us POWs. This memorial is located in Washington Square Park who wanted to sit together. This is all time consuming stuff.

  • 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.

  • USS BRADLEY ASSOCIATION Established July 6, 2002
    USS BRADLEY ASSOCIATION Established July 6, 2002 Newsletter, Early Winter 2003 STATE OF THE ASSOCIATION January 2003 marks the six months anniversary of the association. So much has happened since the July 2002 reunion. At this writing we have 85 former BRADLEY shipmates aboard the association, with many others contacted. We also now have a BRADLEY website thanks to Webmaster Tom Lettington, a former BRADLEY CO. Check it out at www.ussbradley.tfl.net! All past newsletters and crewmember information forms can be found on the website. If you’re signed aboard you can message everyone on the site. Hopefully this will make it possible for us to reach even more former shipmates. This year’s big challenge will be choosing a site and planning the 2004 reunion. The Board of Directors needs a lot of input from you, the association’s members…our former BRADLEY shipmates. We’ve already gotten some good input from several members. We’d like to hear from anyone interested in helping or in making suggestions. We’re still waiting for most of those opinion surveys about the reunion. Our last BIG CONCERN is loosing contact with former shipmates after finally getting reconnected. It has happened too many times already. How does it happen? It’s really very easy. If all we have is your e-mail address and something goes wrong with it or your computer, we’re out of touch! If you don’t want to send the information sheets at LEAST send us your mailing address and telephone number, including area code.
