Sen. Duckworth Urges Senate to Give "Blue Water" Vietnam Veterans the Health Care They've Earned

U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) delivered a speech on the Senate floor on today, December 19th, 2018, detailing the grave injustice that has been done to the nearly 90,000 "Blue Water" Vietnam Veterans who are currently unable to receive the health care needed to treat diseases linked to wartime Agent Orange exposure. Duckworth called on her fellow Senators to right this wrong by immediately passing without delay the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act, which is already co-sponsored by a majority of the Senate.
