What
ships? 1400 workers
were able to be 'berthed' early on during the Exxon Valdez oil spill
'cleanup' due to the USS Deluth ...
the USS Fort McHenry (Marine LSTS),
the USS Mount Vernon, the
USS Juneau ... and others? One Navy man said a few years back that he had liver problems he couldn't understand ... he lived right ... why liver problems? One US Coast Guard Monitor said he has had zero sperm and been unable to father a child; rapid heartbeat, etc |

| What happened to the military who served in 1989 in and near Valdez, Alaska? | What do we know about the health of the 1000 'bioremediation' workers ... and the US Coast Guard who monitored them? |

What Navy ships helped with the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup? They may need to be 'decontaminated' from any residue of chemicals brought on board during those days! Anyone have a photo of the FOSS housing barge? The DB 300 Barge was a staging barge to reissue gear and equipment closer to 'on site'
The USS Cleveland was a military transport ship that arrived approx April 1 and departed end of June, 1989. It housed 700-800 workers who worked on the beaches and came back with gear to ready for the next shift. It was replaced by the USS Deluth Both of these were LPD7 ships |

Aweigh - the Navy song - doesn't make much sense?

Says one woman VECO worker: "The first 3 weeks we worked with housekeeping on Greens Creek Barge. After R&R worked 4 hrs scrubbing rocks then was moved to maxi barge 4 where we sprayed from barge or from beaches. We also cleaned oil booms and bagged oily pompoms. Toward the end we were moved to the navy ship, The Duluth, where we washed & dried oily raingear, boots and gloves on the decon barge." She continues, |
"We always had oil on our skin even if we used raingear, boots, hard hat, life vest and rubber gloves. In August 1989 we were quickly pulled from a beach that had been previously treated with several chemicals. I believe we were on that beach spraying for less than a day but my sister remembers it being more like a day and a half. It had a lot of oil but it was brown, bubbly and had a different smell to it." shared on worker survey form: June 15, 2003 |
Do Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup workers have help for Gulf War Syndrome vets? Maybe so!
| Sad Story April, 2003: A man who seemed a little 'fuzzy' in his thinking was trying to locate a 3rd impeachable witness to prove he even worked on the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill cleanup. His company had shredding the records after 5 years... and said, "Don't come to us, we don't know you" |
He knew that he should do something... but not sure what?
Not feeling well.
Doesn't know what's wrong.
