Learn MoreAgent Orange Exposure
According to the VA’s “American Wars Fact Sheet”, the Vietnam War was official from 1964-1975. However, in 1961, a deadly herbicide was developed by the Monsanto Corp earlier than the official start of the war. Its intent was to remove foliage and vegetation but its effects on human troops were unprecedented and utterly devastating. During the Vietnam War, the United States Military utilized almost 20 million gallons of defoliants and herbicides in what was part of Operation Ranch Hand. In the ongoing years, many of our nation’s veterans who served in Vietnam have suffered and are continuing to suffer from serious medical conditions that they were not expecting given their medical and family history. Skin lesions, unexplained cancers, Diabetes Type II, and more. In this section of our blog, you will learn about Agent Orange’s origin, its chemical breakdown, where it was sprayed, and what medical conditions are officially recognized by the VA as being related to Agent Orange exposure. Most importantly, we also discuss which veterans are eligible for these benefits and what you can do as an eligible veteran to get the VA benefits you deserve.
