What I just read is s very sad. I spent 13 months in entiwetoc, marshal islands 1955-56 and experienced a-bomb and h-bomb tests. I was on a de-contamination squad and returned very ill.

I was hospitalized and straped in a bed to keep from scratching. bubbles of watery pus formed on my skin. i was told it was mono. ha! ha!

Since that time i have had varies skin problems of which no doctors can find a cure. when i mention, could it be radition?, they just look at me funny ans offer anti-biotics.

at the present time i have a problem in my left index finger. something on the inside seeking to get out. it is itchy with watery pus, the same thing i had on the island.

I had requested army medical records years ago but was told they were gone in a fire.

how convient. i believe some sort of compensation is in order.
