Forty years later, Estimated cost: 43 Million, estimated 4 years to clean-up a former US military base near Da Nang Airport, because Vietnamese people still suffering from the effects of Agent Orange. This is well-over due for the Vietnamese, However, We still have OUR Veterans suffering and neglected right here, who are DENIED the care they have Earned ! Something is wrong with this picture !

The real kick in the gut is that they still are using similar chemicals in the middle east! SO, more troops and more civilians are being hurt. They need to give compensation and medical treatment to the troops that were hurt by it here if they are giving aid to the civilians hurt over there, also the families of said troops may have been hurt because that stuff gets in the clothing and possessions and then the troops bring their things home and their families are exposed!

How and Why is this still an ISSUE?
Vietnam veterans with Agent Orange diseases continue to march into the Vietnam Wall to join their fallen brothers. These men and women will not be remembered as fatalities of the Vietnam War. Their names will not be engraved onto the wall…yet they are still victims of the Vietnam War! These veterans have died slow deaths BECAUSE of their country and won’t be remembered as dying FOR their country. This is truly a gripping photograph of the Vietnam Memorial in Rochester, New York. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE REALLY DIED FROM THE VIETNAM WAR?
Thank you, George Ben Norman - Virginia Beach, VA

SFC Haugh, Very Gripping photograph, However, I guess it remains an issue for me because I do not like the cancers, and the heart diseases, and Aorta Aneurysms slowly jabbing at my life and I can't do anything to stop it ! VA shows little interest in helping Vietnam Veterans. Our Country has shown more interest in helping the Vietnamese, and we should, BUT that does NOT mean that we are supposed to neglect/ignore our own Veterans.

PO3 James, Comrade I am not a Vietnam Veteran (too young to have joined the ranks) and entered in 1980. Most all E4 and above we however met lots of great men (I was in line units without females) throughout my career that we my leaders. Unfortunnantly many of them as well (later in life) showed the signs of Agent Orange and went down fast. Just as I experienced my father in-law 22 year Vietnam Veteran go down from it and the slow death that painfully dragged out. We played hell getting his Veterans benefits: funeral detail, flag, etc... it too his local Mason Lodge Brothers (also many Veterans) to step in to settle the justified score! Damn Shame!!!

No Argument from me on this case. My only question is what "Wonder" Chemical are our troops using now provided by the Military Industrial Complex that they will be dealing with the ramification from for years.
