Blumenthal Calls on VA to Extend Presumption of Agent Orange Exposure to More Veterans Who Served in Korean DMZ

Statement

"Thank you for focusing in particular on veterans who served in the Korean DMZ that have illnesses linked to Agent Orange," Blumenthal said. "Eugene Clarke of Redding, Connecticut has been instrumental in bringing a light to shine on these problems, and I want to thank Carlos Fuentes of the VFW for championing this cause. I can pledge to you that we are going to fight as long and hard as possible to make sure that veterans who served in the Korean DMZ are covered in compensation health care if they suffer from Agent Orange-linked illnesses. We are going to make sure they are treated fairly."
