[veteransinfo] from Gary RE Korea service, ect.: DOD discovers 8,000 missing records

Hello Everyone:

For public release and widest possible re-post, forward and re-publication for the benefit of Veterans and their families. Pass it forward, folks!

This post is for those Veterans and families who have been effected by VA denials or have been following the ongoing battle over missing military service records.

Through the insider network (arms-length sources inside DOD/WA DC) involved in those discovery activities I have just received unreleased inside information that

another approximate 8,000+ sets of "previously unknown" records were "discovered".

NO, these are not the same warehoused records of which you may have heard several months ago. These were not warehoused, they were secretly "stashed"!

CLASSIFIED JOINT SERVICES UNITS, LIKE GHOST WALKERS:

A secret US joint operations CIA/Army unit code named "Ghost Walkers" served in both Korea and Vietnam. There were many similar units.

"Ghost Walkers" is/was a joint operations CIA/Army group that conducted clandestine ops during Korea and Vietnam and both the name of the group and it's operations

remain EXTREMELY classified. We are talking ABOVE NEED TO KNOW classification.

By the name, anyone with an understanding of military operations can develop a reasonably accurate guess as to the activities of the "Ghost Walkers".

Operations so classified that records of the Veterans were not warehoused, rather they were "stashed" in holds that remained under the sole control of the

separate "alphabet agencies" and were not subjected to the laws regarding release for VA claim use and declassification after term of years.

VETERANS SERVICE RECORDS CLASSIFIED:

The Ghost Walkers' extremely classified activities were such that even now the records of those military Veterans who served in it are classified.

VETERANS DENIED VA BENEFITS AND DISABILITY:

Even under VA service connected disability claims laws, NOTHING will be released relating to those Veterans' service in Korea and/or Vietnam,

not even a generic letter of service and exposure to the medical disability precursor.

These Veterans have been illegally denied VA service connected disability compensation for decades because their records are that tightly classified.

The basic reason for the denials is that the units were assigned under various violations of treaties and world law,

therefore; the units/groups and the Veterans' records were totally classified and release of anything in those records,

even for VA service connected disability claim processing, was prohibited.

Many disabled Veterans have been told for decades that there are no records of their service in Korea and therefore they are not eligible for service connection

for disabilities caused by toxic chemical exposure and other issues sustained during that Korea service.

VETERANS AND FAMILIES FOUGHT FOR THEIR RIGHTS:

Those Veterans and their families began talking and communicating over the last few years and have sparked official military branch and DOD investigations,

Congressional investigation committees, special offices/liaisons, and finally the beginning of a special (now forming) Veterans Administration office

to deal with the "alphabet" national security agencies to find and open such records in "due diligence and duty to assist" for claiming Veterans.

These Veterans and families have been working under very careful effort to not violate nondisclosure agreements and to avoid politically embarrassment to

and international court claims for damages against the USA.

However, to date, their efforts to remain patriotic and sympathetic to the secrecy and national security needs of the USA have been met with extreme lethargy

and dilatory tactics by the government officials, double talk, unfulfilled promises, "one step forward and two steps backward" progress, and unfulfilled

government lawfully mandated obligations to provide for those disabled Veterans of honorable service to our nation.

In short, as usual, and with extreme dishonor to it's Veterans of honorable service, the USA has turned a blind eye and provided NO RELIEF

to these long-suffering, patriotic Veterans.

Instead, the USA/DOD/Congresspersons/VA/alphabet agencies/ect. wait for these Veterans to die without the fulfillment of the promises made for their military service.

THE BREACH OF NATIONAL SECURITY HEREIN: is minor - the reference to a code name "Ghost Walkers" - which will shock those in authority but cause no damage in and of itself.

The benefit in the release of the name is in the fact that it is known and now referred in a limited public manner, outside the supposedly limited circle of knowledge.

The additional benefit to the Veterans of such service remains in what is not stated - but could be released to the world.

There were other such units.

The USA needs to IMMEDIATELY resolve it's issues with those Veterans and their survivors: issue the required VA disabilities, medical care, benefits, and compensations
for the decades of the unconstitutional deprivation of these Veterans and families civil and Veterans rights!


NO MORE DELAY, DO IT NOW! ISSUE THE LETTERS AND AWARDS!

Roger my husband is a member of the 1st Ghost Wallkers unit when it was formed in Korea. He suffers from PtSD as do all the other surviving Ghost Walkers as well Joe has a broken back which he deals with. It is very important that we get the word out to as many as possible and find as many othe Ghost Walkers as possible so we can join forces and force congress to intercede and have a hearing on records and force DoD and the CIA to come up with a protocol whereby the VA can approve any claim where the vet claims he was a member of that unit.
