The Special Operations Association and SOA Foundation have partnered with researchers involved with investigation into Agent Orange (AO) exposure in VN veterans, specifically genetic disorders in children and grandchildren. The SOA Foundation compiled data from Special Forces and Special Operations Vietnam veterans for analysis of the effect of AO on our community. The data suggests that AO exposed veterans can pass genetic mutations caused by AO to their descendants, so we must therefore alert our community and other veterans to the possibility, and increase awareness and the need for precautions. While not currently obtainable,VA compensation could be available for those descendants who can show a link to parental or grandparental exposure to AO and subsequent cancer. This remains to be determined and more research is needed. The SOA Foundation plans to develop a database for the children and grandchildren affected by AO, and use this to advocate for our descendents. The Foundation will update this cause as information becomes available.
