Please forward to all Vietnam Veterans and friends and family members of Vietnam Veterans. The more we know, the more we can help.



The VA has posted an updated list of U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ships confirmed to have operated on Vietnam’s inland waterways, docked on shore, or had crewmembers sent ashore that may have been exposed to Agent Orange, the below website is provided to assist Vietnam veterans in determining potential eligibility for compensation benefits.



New Vietnam Veterans ship list: VA has released a list of U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ships that operated in Vietnam to help Vietnam-era Veterans find out if they qualify for presumption of Agent Orange exposure. September is Leukemia and Lymphoma Awareness Month: VA recognizes that Veterans’ exposure to Agent Orange during military service is related to developing chronic B-cell leukemia, Hodgkin’s disease, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

The Marine Corps taught me about physical, mental and yes spiritual courage, team work, and the absolute virtue of the human being's great adventure.
