Hi,

Looks like we're in the same boat (U.S. Navy - forgive the pun). I also had triple bypass with no previous health issues. My Ex told me about applying for Agent Orange, but I haven't started process yet. I inquired at VA Clinic and they said I had to have my Discharge Papers (that I haven't seen in over 40 years). I had to request them on a government web site. It took several weeks, but they finally arrived. Guess I need to pursue this.
