Recognizes Orange Heart Medal in NJ.
This New Jersey joint resolution recognizes the privately awarded Orange Heart Medal, which honors Vietnam War veterans exposed to Agent Orange during military service. It does not create new benefits or programs but formally acknowledges these veterans' service and health impacts from Agent Orange exposure. The resolution follows Tennessee's 2019 legislation and aligns with federal efforts to recognize this honor, as the Orange Heart Medal Project has distributed approximately 4,000 medals to veterans or surviving spouses since 2018.
