Comment: I was sent TDY to Det B in December 1963, to February 1964. I was "forced" to seek medical attention from a Korean man posing as a Doctor in the town. I had been under Doctor's care in Seoul when sent here,(Illegally) The toxic injections given to me while there caused me to become deathly ill, and on February 23, 1964, I was Air Evacuated out. I spent the rest of my tour in the Army (23 more months) ill, was discharged as "healthy", and in 2008, after a 41 year fight with the V.A., I received my vindication! God bless Sgts and fake Doctors! I'm still paying the price!

Comment: I was at Det. B for most of 1969. I think I got there in early spring and left just prior to my ETS, which was in February of '70. I have a couple of photos and if I can find them I will send them on.
