AGENT ORANGE AFFECTING THIRD GENERATION
August 3, 2009
Health problems among Vietnam veterans, caused by exposure to agent orange, is still being passed through the generations, with their grandchildren now suffering disabilities.
A Central Coast man has launched a fund to help support third-generation sufferers, claiming the government refuses to acknowledge them.
Good luck to all in the campaign for justice that is long overdue. When war ends so should the suffering, but with the use of chemicals such as Agent Orange, it continues on and as been said into innocent generations.
The government that allowed its use, the chemical companies that made it, such as Monsanto, must be made to pay conpensation to both the victims and their families.

The U$A must face up to the fact that not only did it kill millions in Vietnam but left generations suffering from the effects of Agent Orange.
Those of us aboard ships during the war in Vietnam (USS America) have discovered that the wind did not blow in Vietnam. I have developed Multiple Myeloma and every doctor I have spoken to contributes this disease to exposure to Agent Orange. A sailor must prove he/she stepped foot on land for service connection disability.
I am asking the shriners as a last resort to help my son! He has seizures and is now passing out. Both grandfathers recieved ancient orange in veitnam and both have passed away from cancer and breathing conditions! Both of my older brothers have sleep apnea and other diabetic issues. My son was first noticed having problems at age 13 when he started passing out and it has continued to his age of seventeen and now i ask the American government,” Please- just admit that there was problems associated with this, and help us get the attention we need to fix this problem!”
