NEEDS HELP
Would love to hear from anyone remembering my father, Grant Jensen.
He served from 1964-1968….from what I can find out. He was on the USS Porterfield.
I’m very interested in hearing any thing about him. I am his only daughter, and he passed away in a car accident in 1990

IMPORTANT NEWS Received this important notice from Mel Adkins Just a word about some great news, I just received service connection for my diabetes and prostate cancer (which seems to be history after my surgery), this is very important news to all who served aboard in 66 and maybe later too, we were exposed to agent orange with the water we went into Da Nang for, washed the ship with and other ways, and I have proven this to the VA and was awarded 20-20-10-10-0 % and the k award for loss of my prostate, this is president setting, as the VA can no longer separate our inshore duty versus the brown-water Navy's duties...THIS IS BIG FOR US and our families, if we die from these, related to agent orange exposure...Feel free to pass this on, to all who may need this information.
