Short Bio

I’m in the process of writing a research paper for my Issues in Global Politics class at NC State University. My granddad has recently been diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis. He is an Air Force Vietnam Veteran who was directly exposed to Agent Orange. I am conducting a research project to try and obtain information from other Vietnam Veterans who have been diagnosed with PF or lost their lives due to this condition. I want to communicate my research with the Department of Veteran Affairs and lawmakers to push for further research of the different health affects that could be linked with Agent Orange.
