Forty years later, Estimated cost: 43 Million, estimated 4 years to clean-up a former US military base near Da Nang Airport, because Vietnamese people still suffering from the effects of Agent Orange. This is well-over due for the Vietnamese, However, We still have OUR Veterans suffering and neglected right here, who are DENIED the care they have Earned ! Something is wrong with this picture !

No Argument from me on this case. My only question is what "Wonder" Chemical are our troops using now provided by the Military Industrial Complex that they will be dealing with the ramification from for years.

How and Why is this still an ISSUE?

Vietnam veterans with Agent Orange diseases continue to march into the Vietnam Wall to join their fallen brothers. These men and women will not be remembered as fatalities of the Vietnam War. Their names will not be engraved onto the wall…yet they are still victims of the Vietnam War! These veterans have died slow deaths BECAUSE of their country and won’t be remembered as dying FOR their country. This is truly a gripping photograph of the Vietnam Memorial in Rochester, New York. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE REALLY DIED FROM THE VIETNAM WAR?

Thank you, George Ben Norman - Virginia Beach, VA

The real kick in the gut is that they still are using similar chemicals in the middle east! SO, more troops and more civilians are being hurt. They need to give compensation and medical treatment to the troops that were hurt by it here if they are giving aid to the civilians hurt over there, also the families of said troops may have been hurt because that stuff gets in the clothing and possessions and then the troops bring their things home and their families are exposed!
