My mothers cousin did 2 tours in Vietnam and died from complications
from exposure to agent orange in 1986. He received no treatment, no
medals, no military burial, no recognition, no nothing. The only thing
his widow received was a government check for $255 for burial expenses.
His name never even came up in the local obituary where he resided.
