Support Change by VA on Agent Orange use in Panama

Support Change by VA on Agent Orange use in Panama

The Issue

Veterans who served in Panama during the Vietnam Era are suffering and dying of Agent Orange Diseases. We earned our benefits and we served with honor. Let us live with dignity and provide for our family before we die.

Many Veterans are suffering from diseases that keep them from earning a living and provide for their family.  It is unfair for the VA to pick and chose which countries they will aprove for Agent Orange and when it comes to Panama the VA is denying veterans unfairly.

The VA has aproved and awarded several vets like Mrs. Jones, Joseph Oppedisano and others have been awarded compensation for Agent Orange Exposure while serving in Panama but is telling me that Panama is not one of the Agent Orange established countries. How can the VA admit that some vets were exposed to Agent Orange while serving in Panama and to others they claim Panama is not one of the listed countries where Agent Orange was used.

How can the VA admit some vets were exposed to Agent Orange in Panama and claim other vets were not exposed because Panama is not one of the listed or approved countries where Aget Orange was used.

Please stop the double standard now. You have already admitted to the Agent Orange exposure in Panama. It is unfair to now claim Panama is not on of the listed countries where Agent Orange was used.

Than can you please tell me what was in the 55 gallon drum in the supply room at Ft, Gulik that I was ordered to spray from a hand pump sprayer to control the foliage and bugs. Please tell me what was in the Green Barrel Orange band we pumped into the hand pump sprayers.
