AO Info wanted
You all know that earlier this year my daughter Mandy died but Mandy was not my biological daughter and here's my question. Mandy's father was also a VN vet who served in a transportation company outside of Danang in '67/68 which was responsible for handeling and transportingamany a55 gallon drumwith an orange stripe around the top,agent orange. I know that we recognize service related illnesses with children of female veterans that served in Vietnam but is there any recognition of children of male veterans that have been exposed to agent orange? Mandy's original illness was Burketts (sp?) non-hogkins lymphoma that is a recognized disease caused by AO and was unheard of in the United States before it began showing up on returning Vietnam vets. Mandy was first diagnosed with the disease when she was about six months old and suffered from its effects throughout her life and she eventually died from side effects of it just one month and nine days before her thirtieth birthday and BTW, she is missed.
