Veterans who were victims of Agent Orange during the Vietnam War; commend
This is a symbolic resolution (not a law) passed by the Georgia House of Representatives. It formally honors and recognizes Georgia veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War and developed related health conditions. The resolution acknowledges their service, the health impacts of Agent Orange (including cancer and birth defects in descendants), and notes these veterans are not memorialized as combat fatalities. It does not create new benefits or change policy - it solely provides a formal statement of recognition.
