A new House Bill HR-543 The Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act was re-introduce to the 113th legislative assembly, All is not lost, we pick up what is broken and fix it. HERE IS WHAT YOU AS AMERICANS CAN DO TO HELP. If you know of a Vietnam veteran who is sick and can not get VA benefits, ask all who you know to call Congress and Senate and demand positive action. Congress and Senate need to be urged to do the right thing for our Vietnam Veterans who are sick. The Vietnam Veterans are the forgotten. Let our legislators know that the American people insist that they be recognized. By signing this petition, you will help many tens of thousands of Vietnam veterans who fought for Freedom. They ask for nothing more then to be recognized by our government and the American people. They deserve to be equally treated with respect. Laws need to be made so Vietnam veterans can be afforded full VA benefits. Most important they will know you care.

I have been trying to get the agent orange for the past two years, But they keep telling me that I did not have Boots on the ground. Just because I have a hart condition and dibetes that dosen't count. But thanks you John for all your help.Maybe some day before we die they will give us Blue Water Navy saliors a break.
My uncle served on the Forestal also at that time. One of the reasons he had a bad heart.

I have being waiting since Oct 2011 for them to accept or denied a claim for Agent Orange illness and as for today they claim its being work on. As long as they don't denied it I can't appeal.
My message didn't finish. Mike thinks the government is waiting for all Viet Nam vets to die, then they dont have to pay anything!
get you congressman involved it does work.
I clicked on sign the petition I hope that works.
Thanks, tll all your friends.
Navy retired here. Also infected with AO.
Agent Orange (various versions) have been and continue to be used for their defoilant properties; deployed and non-deployed veterans in SE Asia battle zones, brown and blue water, on and around military bases in US and other worldwide locations, and now on BLM and other wooded and grasslands across the western United States, for non-native and noxious weed control. The insanity must stop and those who suffer, as a result of Agent Orange, deserve proper medical care.
