specific period of time after a discharge of service, veterans who were exposed to ionizing radiation and mustard gas while in the service, veterans who were exposed to certain herbicides such as Agent Orange. MS. CLOSKEY: There are others, as well? MS. RUSSELL: Right, and veterans who served in the Southwest Asia Gulf War. MS. CLOSKEY: I think we have spoken on other of our podcasts about Agent Orange and so that has a large effect, I guess, on these kind of veterans. MS. RUSSELL: Yes, it does. We get a lot of Vietnam veterans in. MS. CLOSKEY: For those who haven't listened, go back and listen to our older podcasts because we did have some interesting discussion about it. 23 Can you maybe tell me a little bit about what Agent Orange is? MS. RUSSELL: Agent Orange is just a chemical that they used to kill the foliage in Vietnam. MS. CLOSKEY: Okay, that's what we knew about it. The dates that it applies for then? MS. RUSSELL: From 1962 to 1975.
