Here is another site to visit: http://www.legion.org/?section=veter...ent=vt_vietnam "It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle." - Norman Schwarskopf, Commander of Desert Storm Operations |

TT22 The site you listed would have you believe that ANY Vietnam veteran GI who applies for medical benefits will have a presumed exposure to Agent Orange and everything will turn out OK ... I hate to turn over your apple cart on this one ... but ... tain't so. One of the battles that is still being waged between veterans and the establishment is trying to get medical coverage for illnesses that can be laid at the alter of the defoliant, Agent Orange. The medical community (in the guise of Uncle Sam) still drags their feet and try NOT to pay out benefits to veterans who suffer from the thousand and one ailments caused by Agent Orange. I wish it weren't so ... but ... It is a little better now ... ... there is still a long way to go. |

Our memories are still as fresh as the day we lived in a nightmare world while at the same time, there are so many people living today that have no idea what we were exposed to so many years ago. I realise that it is a little easier today to submit the necessary paperwork and have the necessary investigations into your records carried out ... but ... the fact remains that Uncle Sam still has a long way to go responding to warriors who (through no fault of their own) are still suffering the aftereffects of a war so many people were dead set against. | |

Have you missed the point of this thread? You must have with the above statement. NOTE: Almost immediately after return from Vietnam, GIs who had been exposed to Agent Orange began to suffer unexplained illnesses. The VA and the thousand and one alphabet agencies began to deny any claim to a 'battle field' induced medical problem. It has gotten a little better ... but .. veterans of Vietnam to this day still have an uphill fight to get their benefits for medical problems caused by Agent Orange Do me a favor Zander, use the internet search engine and look up "Agent Orange". I am absolutely positive that it will open your eyes. | |
