Congress has passed a new law reverses a long-time ban that has kept thousands of Navy Veterans, exposed to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War, from receiving benefits. We talk with Steve Bowman, Director of the Clinton County Veterans Service Agency about the new law, and the rush to get paperwork filed for these Vietnam Veterans before the end of December to receive compensation owed to them. Any Blue Water Navy Veteran or surviving family member can contact the Clinton County Veterans Service Agency with any questions at 518-565-4720.
Watch our extended interview with Steve Bowman about Navy Veterans excluded from the new law, who served on carriers & destroyers further out to sea during the war, who believe they too were exposed to Agent Orange, and should also be eligible for benefits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGHsH50jdzQ
