I know about Agent Orange too. My husband died 1990 at age 52 of pancreatic cancer. When we filed papers we were told to fill out this long application. We did, then came a map, mark where you were and the dates of incountry. We did it. He got sprayed on going back and forth under the brush to an orpanage to help children. Then it was he was still alive and not egible for any help. After he died I refiled and said, well now he is dead.
After some time I received a check for about $1,400.00. Said that was all as they could not prove Agent Orange was the cause or not, and they had so many others to send monies too.

I am sorry you are having to go down this road, but I hope at some point you are able to pick up a needle and thread and quilt again, it saved my sanity...I am still quilting after 21 years and it still works for me. Bless you.
