During the Agent Orange
litigation, 65,000 veterans reported that their children had been born with
birth defects or developmental disabilities. Now veterans are also reporting
that their grandchildren are affected. Yet, no government studies have been
done on the association between the father’s exposure to Agent Orange and
adverse outcomes in their children.
Since 1990, only Birth Defect
Research for Children has collected data showing a pattern of birth defects and
disabilities in the children of Vietnam veterans.
The Agent Orange Next Gen Campaign
will draw attention to how many veterans’ families have been affected and raise
funds to continue birth defect research.
