veterans of the Vietnam
War were recently
included to benefit
coverage due to Agent
Orange Exposure.
A recently declassified
Department of Defense
report contains evidence
that there was a
significant use of
herbicides on the fenced-in perimeters of military bases in Thailand to remove
foliage that provided cover for enemy forces.
This new information means that Vietnam-era veterans whose service involved
duty on or near the perimeters of military bases in Thailand anytime between
Feb. 28, 1961 and May 7, 1975, may have been exposed to herbicides and may
qualify for VA benefits.
Veterans and areas include:
U.S. Air Force veterans who served on Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) bases at U-
Tapao, Ubon, Nakhon Phanom, Udorn, Takhli, Korat, and Don Muang, near the
air base perimeter between aforementioned dates
U.S. Army veterans who provided perimeter security on RTAF bases in Thailand
between aforementioned dates
U.S. Army veterans who were stationed on some small Army installations in
Thailand anytime between aforementioned dates. However, the Army veteran
must have been a member of a military police unit or was assigned an MP
occupational specialty whose duty placed him or her at or near the base
perimeter.
What this means is we are now able to help many more Vietnam veterans to get
benefits they deserve, said Fayette County Veterans Affairs Executive Director
John Hintz of Oelwein. This has been a long time coming, and now some more
of these veterans can qualify.
Hintz explained his county office is made up of five commissioners who work to
find veterans and/or dependents/survivors that qualify for benefits. Hintz then
