Hi Keith
I am Al Kelsch, I took part in Operation Buster-Jangle during
October-December,1951. I was with the 127th Airborne Engineers, attached to the 188th Airborne Infantry Regiment.
I was on and off the bomb range stringing barb-wire for weeks. I witnessed one
bomb from less than 3 miles, and was at ground zero in less than 30 minutes.
In 1996, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and am still fighting for a claim
for service connection.
I would like to hear from anyone who was
there with me .
Has anyone been able to link prostate cancer with ionizing
radiation?????
