| William Gardiner: Bladder cancer is one of the conditions the VA recognizes as being related to or caused by Agent Orange. Be sure to file a claim or add this any current claim with the VA. Make sure whatever organization is helping you knows about your diagnosis ASAP. Good luck. |

| I just read the book Rain In Our Hearts. Having read over 65 books on the Vietnam War, this one ranks at the top. I was in D Co. 3/21 during the April-May Hiep Duc period. All four 3/21 companies had KIAs and WIAs in the Que Son Valley during that time. The book brought back vivid memories of D Co. losses and tears for the men of A Co., 4/31 covered in the book. |
