ARE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW A CHILD OR

GRANDCHILD OF A VIETNAM VETERAN?

22 Million Gallons of Herbicide were sprayed in Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
Many Vietnam Veterans are passing away prematurely or are seriously ill due to their
service connected, herbicide exposure during the war.
Vietnam Veterans have voiced their concerns about their offspring having many types
of birth defects and serious illnesses that have no prior family history.
Vietnam Veterans have reported their wives and partners have had multiple
miscarriages.
The U.S. Government refuses to fund the needed research for children and grandchildren of Vietnam Veterans who have
debilitating birth defects and illnesses.

Current U.S. Government Stance
Currently, the U.S. Government acknowledges 18+ Birth Defects in the Children of FEMALE Vietnam Veterans (Only
6-8 thousand served). They are quick to state these birth defects were caused by the womens service in Vietnam
and not Herbicide. What caused the birth defects?
Currently, the U.S. Government acknowledges only one birth defect in the Children of MALE Vietnam Veterans (2.8
MILLION men served). They acknowledge Spina Bifida (NOT OCCULTA).
