| WE NEED YOUR HELP From VVA Publication Working with Agent Orange Committee Chair Alan Oates we are restructuring the Agent Orange Seminar for August's Leadership Conference in Orlando to respond to the challenge to the Agent Orange Act of 1991 process. In order to help make the case for why veterans who served in other areas in which dioxin and other herbicides were sprayed during the war should be eligible for disability compensation, we need to hear from VVA members who can pinpoint when and what other areas were sprayed --in Guam, Thailand, hawaii, on Johnston Island; or in the Continental U.S. We also need to hear from Navy veterans who wer on ships that docked in Vietnam, went up rivers, or anchored very close to shore in one or more of Vietnam's harbors during the war. Additionally, if we are ato make further progress on the Agent Orange issue, we will need veterans in every state and chapter to profide informed and impassioned advocacy. So we urge you to attend the Advocacy and the Agent Orange workshops at the Leadership Conference. Send your recollections and information to Alan Oates at Aoates@vva.org |
