Topic: The Veterans of Foreign Wars
On Thursday, Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) asked the VA to expand the dates it uses to determine whether a veteran who served along the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is presumed to be exposed to Agent Orange. This is in response to VFW National Commander John A. Biedrzycki Jr.’s testimony before a joint hearing of the House and Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committees that also called for the VA to realign its presumptive dates to ensure veterans who served along the Korean DMZ between September 1, 1967, and April 1, 1968, and suffer from diseases and illnesses linked to Agent Orange exposure are afforded the opportunity to receive the health care and benefits they deserve.
