Attention Vietnam Veterans Please Read!! Diabetics Included!

DEFOLIATION VIA SPRAYING OF AGENT ORANGE

Many veterans can recall the utilization of Agent orange to defoliate the jungles in order to find the enemy. Some veterans may not have been directly involved with the spraying or may have not known about the use of it in their area. However... you may have been exposed without knowing. Its effects were long lasting, it got into the water, the soil, food etc. The Vietnamese people have suffered birth defects, rare cancers, and a host of other ailments. Vietnam veterans have also suffered and many are still dying from it and are unaware that they are entitled to compensation.

TREES AND VEGETATION DESTROYED

Over the the past few years I have encountered Veterans suffering from Diabetes and other ailments who have no clue that their illness is Service Connected. Diabetes and its associated complications such as peripheral neuropathy, heart and kidney problems etc, has been linked or assumed to be caused by agent orange You do not need to provide proof of exposure to agent orange, it is automatically presumed that you were simply by your being there.
