#220: Benefits Breakdown, Blue Water Navy Veterans Act of 2019

While serving as an electrics technician aboard USS Davis during the Vietnam War, Blue Water Navy (BWN) Veteran John Burns said he never felt like his life was in danger. He appreciated the experience because he was able to visit parts of the world he had never seen before. The last thing he expected was to have been exposed to Agent Orange while off the coast of Vietnam. In this episode of Borne the Battle, two Veterans, one receiving the benefit and the one who administers it, talk about the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act of 2019. They discussed how Veterans can file a claim, the criteria VA uses to evaluate applicants and what benefits eligible Veterans can expect to receive.
