Paul E. KuneliusI was discharged from the Army on 08/23/1967. I served in Vietnam from Sept. of 1966 to August of 1967. In the month of Feb. 1969 I came down with malaria and was treated at the VA and was in the hospital for one week. I live in Massachusetts and have for my whole life. My questions are was it possible to contact malaria in MA at that time and is it possible to have contacted malaria in Vietnam and have it not appear till 16 months later? I never had malaria in Vietnam. Thank You, Paul
