I have medical issues/birth defects cause by my dad’s exposure to Agent Orange.

If there is anyone that served with my dad and has pictures they would like to share that would be amazing.

He went to basic training at Fort Knox and he was from Middleton, MI. 

I MISS HIM SO MUCH!! His loving daughter,
