Description
During the Vietnam War, the United States used a chemical herbicide to defoliate jungle terrain and expose enemy hideouts. Agent Orange contained dioxin, one of the most toxic chemicals ever created. American military personnel were exposed to the defoliant which is known to cause many types of cancer and other serious health conditions.
WIVB-TV senior correspondent Rich Newberg reports on progress made by Agent Orange victims who have sought medical help and disability compensation from the Veterans Administration. He features the stories of two Vietnam Veterans from Western New York who suffered the consequences of Agent Orange exposure.
