Hammer on Congress to enact S.1629 and H.R.3612

S.1629 and H.R3612 contain identical language.
Latest Title: A bill to amend title 38, United States Code, to clarify presumptions relating to the exposure of certain veterans who served in the vicinity of the Republic of Vietnam, and for other purposes.

I am in full support of S.1629, The Agent Orange Equity Act of 2011 and H.R. 3612, Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act of 2011, because they are short, simple, to the point, and the nearest bills that have been presented to what is a restoration act, nothing more, nothing less, and the only restriction is "Territorial Waters". While these bills aren't going to cover everyone in the Blue Water Navy, they will cover a large majority of them and will get the benefits restored and going for those members of Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans who served within the stated limits.

It's imperative that you contact your Senators and Representative to support these bills and their enactment.

You should also Contact the Senate Veterans Committee and
the House Veterans Committee.

Remember, the stated primary mission is to get the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans benefits restored. Once that is done, and this has always been the plan, we go after TLC, Korea and the other sites such as Guam, Johnston Island, Okinawa, Subic Bay & etc.
Stand to and stand strong my friends.
These bills are the best chance we have at getting the restoration of our benefits in nearly decade.

Do You Need Deck Logs?

Many of the logs are partials but may still be of use to some of you guys.

Deck logs are now being digitized by The National Archive and can be downloaded at no cost in pdf format. The digitization is starting with the Vietnam War and Carriers. Other classes of ships will follow.The link is in the pulldown menu below.

Ten Years of Discrimination Against the Blue Water Navy

This month marks the 10th Anniversary of when the VA stripped away the all health care and compensation benefits due to Navy Vietnam Veterans suffering from the diseases of Agent Orange contamination. In February, 2002, the Department of Veterans Affairs changed their internal regulations in violation of the Agent Orange Act of 1991, leaving Navy, Coast Guard and Fleet Marines with no access to VA Hospitals for treatment of their disabilities from Agent Orange; treatment that had been available to them since 1991, and remains available to all other veterans of that War. When the Agent Orange Act was passed in 1991, all branches of the military that served in the Vietnam War were included in the benefits of medical care and compensation for service-related injuries. But the Department of Veterans Affairs’ actions caused blatant discrimination against military personnel who served on offshore water. How many of our men with honorable service in the offshore Navy, Coast Guard and Fleet Marines have died without these benefits, leaving their wives and families with the devastating consequences? How many wives and parents cared for these men without the benefit of VA-provided health care, often losing their savings and even their homes because of personally bearing the cost of medical care for injuries received during wartime service? How many men died without acknowledgment of their honorable service and the dignity awarded to other veterans of that war who suffered from identical diseases? For those few who are still alive but still suffering, we request that you support, fund and enact legislation H.R. 3612 and S-1629 and help those veterans and their families before it is too late.
