My dad passed away in 2012 from Pulmonary Fibrosis caused from Agent Orange. He did several tours between 64-72. It wasn't until 2007 that the VA recognized all of his problems leading up to his PF was caused by AO. They finally gave him his 100% rating. Thankfully he was a retired E-7 with 24 years and Tricare took care of most of his problems. Still, he lost out and spent a lot of money he shouldnt have.

Unfortunately this has been happening to Vietnam vets for quite a few years now. My grandmother's brother ended up dying from cancer that was caused by his exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. All of this also is reminding me of the illnesses that are effecting those who participated in the rescue efforts following 9/11.

Like other Vietnam Veterans, it was decades later before I started suffering the effects of Agent Orange.
