AGENT ORANGE RESOURCE PAGE
Hello, my name is Charley Nemecz, US
NAVY 13 NOV 66 until 13 NOV 1970. I am a plank owner & I just discovered
that USS HORNE DLG-30 {as she was known then] &
other plank owner crew members may be eligible for Agent Orange Exposure
benefits.
I was along with all the original commissioning crew
were ordered to DA
Nang harbor to "get our new orders". I
am positive it was just before Capt. Turner gave command to Capt Archie
Lupia. I have discussed this w/HM-1 MIKE
ROGERS, then an HM-3. Mike agrees w/me that HORNE went to
DA Nang harbor ans
swung on the anchor while the Capt & some crew members went w/him on the
Gig @ the assigned dock
while the utility & liberty boats was assigned armed patrol around the ship
or waited.
The following link shows many "brown water" size boats
& some small ships in VN waters. Some for as little as 38 minutes. HORNE was
swinging @ anchor for @ LEAST 4 - 8 HOURS. I think we qualify tro be
reviewed and re-reviewed for benefits related to Agent
Orange Exposure!!|Don't all of you think so too??
I went to this site & checked this list and HORNE
IS NOT listed. This is a very serious error. I know HORNE was there.
Those of us who have all or some enough of the respecters for Agent Orange
Exposure deserve our disability benefit[s}.
Contact CHARLEY NEMECZ, USN SN [ then 1st DIV &
NX DIV as Corpsman Striker) ,discharged 13 NOV
1970 as HM-3., email: c_nemecz@att,net,
w/any documentation or conversations that we can get deposed and notarized &
entered into the VA records.
Thanks to all of you for your service.
Respectfully
Charley Nemecz, SN PLANK OWNER & HM-3
