HR 1728 United States House · 118th Congress

Agent Orange Service Medal Act

This bill establishes the Agent Orange Veterans Service Medal, a commemorative award for veterans who receive compensation under 38 U.S.C. §§ 1116 or 1116A (for health conditions linked to Agent Orange exposure). The Secretary of Defense must design and issue the medal upon request by eligible veterans or their next-of-kin if the veteran has passed away. Veterans must apply through a process created by the Department of Defense to receive the medal, which serves solely as a symbolic recognition of service. The bill does not alter existing benefits or create new entitlements.
