"Like hundreds of thousands of Vietnam veterans I now suffer from the side effects of Agent Orange, including heart and kidney disease, which almost cost me my life. But with proper diagnosis and dialysis treatment my life has been spared."
Complications
from exposure to ‘Agent Orange’ while serving in the Vietnam war, has
been cited by Congressman Faleomavaega Eni as the reason for the illness
which resulted in his being medivaced to Hawai’i late last year,
followed by months of rehabilitation on the mainland.
Faleomavaega arrived in the territory last October to attend an education conference but instead was admitted to LBJ Medical Center for observation. A few days later he was medivaced to Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu for further treatment, followed by rehab, at the time, and until now — the Congressman’s office didn’t provide specifics of his illness.
Faleomavaega, a Vietnam war veteran, is seeking re-election and there have been many questions surrounding his illness. His office has maintained the Congressman's right to privacy, although he is a public figure.
In a four-minute ‘thank-you message’ to the people of American Samoa, to be aired soon on local radio stations as an election advertisement, Faleomavaega said, that “because of complications due to Agent Orange exposure during my service in Vietnam, I was airlifted to Hawai’i where I was not expected to live.” - See more at: http://www.samoanews.com/node/85254#sthash.1Nkv2ubX.dpuf
