During the Vietnam War, herbicides were used to destroy jungle foliage in order to expose enemy troops. These herbicides, including Agent Orange, may have harmed veterans who were exposed to them. Compensation is available for veterans suffering from illnesses or disabilities proven to be related to exposure. For further information, please contact the nearest Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center, Vet Center or Regional Office or you may go online to the Department of Veterans Affairs website at http://www.va.gov/AgentOrange/.
