    Its worth a try to contact them. Don't know your circumstances to offer an affirmative. Here is their website with information on how to contact them.

    Larry, I read somewhere, the VA had linked exposure to agent orange to diabetes, not sure of validity, do what tickle said. I would also check with any local VFW, or DAV organizations for info. Good luck, and thanks for your service.
