More than a hundred thousand members of the United States Armed Forces
who fought in Vietnam between 1962 and 1975
suffer disabilities from the effects of dioxin, found in Agent Orange.
Yet, these service personnel are being denied service-connected health care
and disability compensation for these diseases
by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Misc. Info.
Development and contents of this site has relied extensively on the work of Susan Belanger and Taura King. They have literally spent years gathering data on veteran exposure to herbicides and other toxins in Vietnam and MANY additional areas both in South East Asia (e.g., Thailand, Laos, Cambodia) as well as other places around the world. If it were not for their long hours and hard work, the plight of the AO veteran problems would not be as advanced as they are now or will become in the future. They have done this work without pay and have freely shared their information with any veteran who could benefit from it. Susan and Taura deserve our overwhelming gratitude for all their past and continuing efforts.
Creater and Webmaster of this site is John Paul Rossie
Replacement medals are available at USA Military Medals for all branches of military services.
