I was in a meeting with Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) a couple of weeks back. Others and I have been working behind scenes to rally support for HB 2201 & S 138. That would extend the same presumptive exposure benefits to veterans who served in Thailand as those who were boots on the ground in Vietnam.

As a veteran who served in both countries, I can tell you we have proof Thailand was sprayed too. It just wasn't as extensive as Vietnam and pretty much confined to the bases there.
