USS Bonholm Richard, Vietnam War
Submitted by leanes-trench on 10 December 2009 - 7:25pm.
Hello,
Does anybody out there know of a veteran's group or a scheduled reunion for men of the carrier U.S.S. Bonholm Richard? I am trying to help a lady with whom I work file a claim for Agent Orange contamination for her late husband, who served on the carrier in, I think, 1965-66. He was involved in an accident while filling tanks with the chemical, and he and eleven other crewmen were drenched. No entry was made in the ship's log, and we need to find somebody who might remember the event. Can anybody help?
Many thanks,
Patrick Gariepy
