Kenneth Young

Hi! My name is Ken and I was born in a little town of Grand'Mere Quebec, Canada in 1948. I grew up and lived in Quebec until I was 17 years old when I joined the Canadian Armed Forces-Army to be exact.

The Royal Canadian Regiment was my home for almost 13 years, where I seen many countries, did some UN peace keeping and almost 5 years in Germany, Europe in NATO.

I met the love of my life wile in Germany and we are soon to celebrate our 39 anniversary on August first and we have two now grown up boys and a few wonderful grand children.

I was contaminated by Toxic Chemicals wile on duty at CFB Gagetown New Brunswick, Canada with chemicals now known to contain Dioxin (TCDD) and Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) better known as Agent Orange and Agent White. I was released from the Army after I became extremely sick due to toxic chemical exposure.

I am a proud member of the Agent Orange Association of Canada (AOAC) and at present I am one of their article writers. I have in the past two or three years had as many as 250 small articles published all with the Gagetown issue and the tens of thousands of Victims it created.

I speak (but not write) English, French and German and I get by when traveling in Spanish, with words and hand signals and although my first language was French it is probably my weakest.

I like to travel and have so far been to over 70 countries. My hobbies are Snorkeling, Flowers, Cooking and computers.

I now live on Vancouver Island in Canada, too beautiful to describe.

That is pretty much me in a nut shell.
