Has anyone been asked to prove their exposure to chemical warfare to get a Purple Heart?

Agree, Vietnam should be recognized as well if true.

Thanks brother John and I hope that you get what is rightfully coming to you for being exposed to such deadly shit in the first place.

If you served in Vietnam, then you need to get registered. My VA doctor told me to go to my county VA rep at the Court House and he could get me registered. You no longer have to prove anything. If you were in-country, you have been exposed.

Here's the thing about agent orange and the PH... You don't qualify because as the regs stand now the PH is only for when you're exposed to a chemical agent dispersed by the enemy... Until they change that piece of the regs (and no, it's not legally the same as friendly fire while engaging the enemy PHs) the Vietnam guys are still not getting the PH for agent orange. You can, however, finally get treated and compensated by the VA for it.

I'm sure if we were in anyway effect the VA will never let us know.

Not until after any effected are already dead. They still love practicing their 'agent orange' protocol.
