Agent Orange Service Medal Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to design and produce a military service medal called the Agent Orange Veterans Service Medal. The medal would honor veterans who receive certain disability compensation tied to herbicide exposure, or who are defined in federal law as Vietnam-era herbicide-exposed veterans. Eligible veterans could request the medal once the Secretary of Veterans Affairs certifies their eligibility. The medal could also be issued to the next-of-kin of eligible veterans who have died, and an application would be created for veterans and families to request it.
