If you served aboard a U.S. Navy\Coast Guard ship during the Vietnam War, you
may qualify for presumption of Agent Orange exposure. Check the VA's ship list
at http://go.usa.gov/c2KfG to find out if you are eligible. VA recently updated
the list to include six new ships and expand the dates for ships already on the
list.
NOTE: For the purposes of VA compensation benefits, Veterans who served
anywhere in Vietnam between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975 are presumed to have
been exposed to herbicides, as specified in the Agent Orange Act of 1991
