Agent Orange Service Medal Act
This bill creates a new commemorative military service medal called the Agent Orange Veterans Service Medal to honor veterans who received compensation for herbicide exposure during the Vietnam War. The medal will be designed by the Department of Defense and issued to living veterans or provided to next-of-kin for deceased veterans who meet specific eligibility criteria. Eligible recipients include those who receive compensation under existing Vietnam-era herbicide exposure laws or who are officially recognized as Vietnam-era herbicide-exposed veterans. The bill establishes an application process for veterans and their families to request the medal through the Department of Defense.
