It is only in the past three months that the NZ Government has recognised the harm done to Viet Vets by exposure to Agent Orange. Probably more than 90% of those affected are already dead...

At this stage the assistance is limited to the servicemen, not to their descendants. Great writing. and thank you for the update.
