@AmericanLegion @VFWHQ @DAVHQ @VVAmerica @PVA1946 @AMVETSHQ @MOPH_HQ @MilitaryOfficer This legislation will expand the categories of veterans who have had their health negatively affected by Agent Orange, and have had their needs neglected by congress. #BlueWaterNavy
@AmericanLegion @VFWHQ @DAVHQ @VVAmerica @PVA1946 @AMVETSHQ @MOPH_HQ @MilitaryOfficer The new categories will include: the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans, who served in the Korean DMZ, and children with spina bifida born to parents exposed during their service in Thailand. #BlueWaterNavy
“Tonight we have an opportunity to right this incredible injustice. H.R. 299 is the quickest and surest way to deliver benefits to our #BlueWaterNavy veterans.” - @RepMarkTakano
